**DAY 1**
Litchfield. Pick up from your accommodation at 6:30am then we head south from Darwin towards Litchfield Park. Our first stop for the day is at the picturesque Florence Falls for a refreshing swim after completing a short walk through the surrounding monsoon rainforest. From here you will find many of the waterfalls in Litchfield are close by which means that there are no long hauls in the tour vehicle for the rest of the day. Swim in the crystal clear rockpools of Buley Rockholes before a short drive to the famous Wangi Falls for a quick swim. The viewing area at Tolmer Falls provides you with the perfect location to watch the falls descending from a narrow gorge into a beautiful plunge pool. We hold a Special Permit that allows us to access the Upper Tolmer Falls area with our groups, so after a scenic bushwalk you can swim in a secluded location at the top of Tolmer Falls. As we leave Litchfield National Park we pass by floodplains scattered with hundreds of Meridian Termite Mounds and we make a brief stop to learn more about the inhabitants of these amazing structures. We drive south from here and make our way to an overnight bushcamp near Katherine after a day full of swimming, adventure and great scenery. (Lunch, Dinner)
Camp: Katherine Gorge Campground Walking: 4km
**DAY 2**
Katherine / Kakadu. Katherine Gorge is truly a magnificent area and there is no better way to see it than by canoe. We spend the morning canoeing the first 2 of 13 sections in the gorge and during this time you will get the chance to see freshwater crocodiles, birds, Aboriginal Artsites and awesome scenery. After lunch we make our way to Barramundi Gorge where you can enjoy an afternoon swim in the cool clear waters. We spend time exploring above the falls and swimming in a series of beautiful rockpools located in the gorge. We camp for the evening next to a large billabong and after a candlelit dinner in the heart of Kakadu, you can have a go at playing the didgeridoo. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) Camp: Minimal Facility Campground Walking: 3km Canoeing: 5km
**DAY 3**
Kakadu. A swim in the plunge pool at the base of Jim Jim Falls is sure to wake you up for the day as you cool down in the refreshing water. To reach the plunge pool, a 1km scenic walk through monsoon rainforest is taken and has excellent lookouts over Jim Jim Falls. Take your time to admire the awesome sight of the sheer cliff faces that surround you from the base of the gorge. After lunch we make our way to Twin Falls where you can grab your swimming board or put on your snorkelling gear for the swim up Twin Falls Gorge (about 700 metres). We give you the chance to see the aquatic life of Kakadu that most people just swim past. See large varieties of fish, turtles and there is even the possibility of spotting some freshwater crocodiles before finally reaching the beautiful white sandy beach at the base of Twin Falls…simply spectacular. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Camp: Minimal Facility Campground
Walking: 9km
**DAY 4**
Kakadu. We start today by viewing various displays on Kakadu at the Bowali Visitor Centre before heading north to Ubirr rock. At Ubirr Rock you will see some fantastic art sites and learn more about Aboriginal lifestyle and culture. A short climb to the top of Ubirr Rock will reward you with a 360 degree view over floodplains and the Arnhemland Escarpment - a spectacular sight. Leaving Ubirr rock behind us, we head down the Arnhem Highway and drop into Mamukala Wetlands which offers the bird enthusiast a small paradise at various times of the year. What better way to finish the day than by sitting back and enjoying our private crocodile and wildlife cruise on Corroboree Billabong, a part of the Mary River system. You are bound to see plenty of wildlife and usually a lot of crocodiles on a 1.5 hour cruise that won’t leave you disappointed. Return to Darwin in the early evening. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
