Kakadu & Top End

Kakadu and Top End Trip List 2013-14

Latest Update: 23 May 2013.

All our Kakadu and Top End tours depart from Darwin. Our getting here page explains how to get to Darwin. Our accommodation and things to do page tells you where you can stay and explains other things you can do in town.

Details of Kakadu trips may need to be changed to fit park management needs that arise from time to time. Trips where the first bookings come in well in advance are less likely to have to be changed than those where bookings arrive closer to the date of departure.

Prices. Some of our costs, especially charter transport, are subject to change without notice. Where we are forced to raise prices because of this, we will honour the old price for anyone who has already booked and paid a deposit.

Click on trips listed in red for additional information. Most will require Adobe Acrobat Reader.

See full abbreviations, levels of difficulty or pass mouse over code to see short descriptions.

Every trip is different. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about a particular trip.

2013

Note. All 2013 trips listed below are a draft based on previous years and are subject to change. While many of the prices and trip notes have been updated for 2013, some have not. The notes for those trips will, however, give you a good idea what you can expect.
A box at the bottom of page two of our printable trip list explains which trips have yet to be updated.
