About this tour
A 4-day guided tour of Kakadu, Katherine and Litchfield national parks designed for a comfortable pace rather than strenuous hiking. You'll stay in permanent tents at established camps, travel by air-conditioned coach, and take two boat cruises through billabongs and gorges. Meals are provided daily, and the route prioritises accessible walks and lookouts so you can absorb the landscape without exhaustion.

What to expect
You'll depart for Kakadu on day one and settle into your first camp with evening orientation and dinner. Each subsequent day follows a pattern: breakfast at camp, coach travel to walking trails and viewpoints chosen for accessibility rather than difficulty, a boat cruise (Corrobboree Billabong or Nitnit Gorges depending on itinerary), lunch, and return to camp for dinner. You'll move camps at least once during the tour as you progress through Katherine and Litchfield. Early mornings are typical to maximise daylight, though the pace is deliberately relaxed to allow stops for photos and wildlife spotting. The tour wraps on day four with a final morning activity before departure.
