Introduction

This 5 Day Kakadu Adventure is aimed at travellers who want everything Kakadu has to offer. Travelling in small groups of 9 or 14 passengers ( depending on the vehicle used ) we will be exploring Kakadu National Park which is located in the Northern Territory of Australia. Accommodation is real bush camping in swags or tents, around the campfire, under the stars. All campgrounds have minimal facilities including toilets.

During the course of our 5 days in the outback,t we will be doing lots of swimming at waterfalls, hiking, sleeping under the stars, and getting a glimpse of much of the wildlife that thrives out here including crocodiles. We will also visit such sites as Jim Jim Falls, Twin Falls, Nourlangie or Ubirr Aboriginal Artistes, Barramundi Gorge, Adelaide River and many other amazing destinations.

Listed as a World Heritage site due to its flora, fauna and cultural significance; Kakadu in size is approximately 20,000 km's square, 2/3 the size of Belgium or Poland and is the third-largest National Park in the world. Kakadu is home to more than 10,000 species of insects, 280 species of birds, 117 species of reptiles, 60 species of mammals and 53 different species of freshwater fish.

The indigenous Australians are the traditional owners who live in Kakadu National Park and have done so for more than 40,000 years. Our Kakadu tours put an emphasis on teaching our travellers about the Aboriginal people and their incredibly rich and ancient culture.

This tour is lead by a professional and knowledgeable tour guide. These passionate leaders will help showcase Kakadu's many faces and give you a real insight into its culture and history. These leaders are also there to answer any questions you may have about the local wildlife, landscapes, culture and any travel-related queries.

Territory Expeditions is the only tour operator that is able to offer regular tours to this area, and is grateful to the traditional owners for allowing us to have this opportunity.

The name Jarrangbarnmi comes from the Jawoyn words jarrang meaning flood, or big water flow, and barn meaning rift or gap Jarrangbarnmi was created by the Jawoyn creation ancestors. It is part of Buladjang country. Bula created this landscape and then went to live under the ground. Bolung (Rainbow Serpent) lives in plunge pools in this country. Both powerful creation ancestors can cause earthquakes, storms, floods and disease if disturbed.

The walk up the gorge is a real wilderness walk and requires a good level of fitness with great rewards on arrival to some of the National Parks most spectacular rock pools, waterfalls and rock landscape.

This remote location is restricted to only 40 people per day and is home to several endemic species of fauna and fauna.

How much luggage can I take?

We don't have an exact policy when it comes to luggage though we just ask our customers to be mindful that we have limited space. Generally we recommend people to bring a large backpack/suitcase with all their gear and another smaller backpack to keep on the bus and hold their daily items ( phone, water bottle, towel, sunscreen etc ) and which they used to take on walks etc. If you have a lot of luggage is best to leave the things you don't need at your hotel/hostel where they will store it for free.

Where can I store my luggage whilst on tour?

During the tour your main luggage will be stored in our trailer. This trailer is always locked however we cannot guarantee the complete safety of your gear from theft or damage. This is why it is so important to purchase a good travel insurance. If you need to store your luggage whilst away on tour, this can be done through your accommodation. Most hostel and hotels will store your luggage safely free of charge.

For camping tours there will be no time to do laundry. However, for longer cross country tours involving hostel or hotel style accommodation you may have the opportunity to wash your clothes.

How do I know when a tour is available?

You can check the departure dates of tours by using our calendar on the top right hand corner of the tour page. This will tell you what days the tour departs. For availability of seats please contact us directly at info@lostinaustralia.org or call us.

Can I just do a section of this tour and not the whole trip?

Unfortunately it is not possible to only do a part of the tour. Passengers generally need to stay with the tour from start to finish.However, drop off locations at the end of the tour made me negotiated.

Does the tour price include flights?

No. Tour prices do not include any travel arrangements other than for the duration of the tour itself. If you need assistance with booking flights or buses our travel team and certainly help - Just ask!

How far in advance do I need to book my tour?

As a rule of thumb we generally say AT LEAST 2 weeks prior to departure, this will usually get you a seat on the date you want. That being said, we cannot guarantee that spaces will be available at the time of your booking so, if you can, book as soon as possible. Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available. If you know when you'd like to travel, please contact us and we will let you know if you need to book soon or if you have time.

If I make a deposit only, when will I need to pay the balance?

Balance on tours need to be paid at least 30 days prior to departure. Failure to do so could result is the cancellation of your seat with a fee charged. If you need more time to clear your balance then let us know ASAP and arrangements can be made.

Who travels with us

Is this tour for me?

Our tours are made up of small groups with a range of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds. Generally people who travel with us are between 20 and 49, though we also get alot passengers much older onboard - everyone is welcome! On tour we get equally as many males as females and everyone shares an enthusiasm for the out doors, nature, adventure and culture. Our tours are for those wanting to really explore and share the experience with likeminded travellers. Whether we are camping by a billabong in Kakadu National Park or sharing a cabin in Tasmania, our travellers want more than just a site seeing tour. They are chasing a hands on group experience. The trips are packed with many highlights and the pace can be fast. There may be some long drives and passengers should expect to help out when setting up camp or cooking food - this is a group adventure. However, there’s always time to chill out, have a cold beer ( or wine! ) and soak up your surroundings. As always, if in doubt then contact us directly with your concerns.

Cost and Fees

What does "Paid Locally" mean?

Some tours require you to pay national park fees directly, in cash, to the tour guide on the morning of departure. Rest assured this will be subtracted from the tour price when reserving your tour.

Will I need additional money?

Visitors are advised to bring some cash as ATMs and banks can be few and far between depending on where we are during the trip. Its handy to have some extra cash as we do stop by local shops and cafe.

Do I need to tip our guide?

If you had an amazing time on tour and wish to tip the guide, then that is completely up to you. However, tipping is not customary and is not at all expected.

Are there any hidden fees I need to know about?

Our tour prices are completely transparent. There are no additional fees involved that are not included in the overall tour price shown. If you wish to do optional activities such as helicopter rides or wildlife safaris, then an extra cost may be needed. However, this will always be made clear at the time of your booking.

Whilst on tour

What type of tent will I get?

Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. However, most Uluru tours we try and encourage the use of swags and mattress rather than tents. This is the ideal way to camp in the centre of Australia; Around a campfire, under the stars!

What are the sleeping arrangements in Kakadu?

Most of our tours to Kakadu National park involve a camping. However, for those tours heading towards Alice Springs and beyond, there will also be hostel style accommodation.Tents are generally designed to accommodate a minimum of 2 people. This means there is plenty of room to move about and store your luggage. Depending on which Kakadu tour you chose you may be required to set your tent up at the end of the day otherwise our campsites are permanent and are ready to go!Campsites in Kakadu come with basic facilities such as toilets and sometimes showers.

What will the food be like?

Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied on these tours. If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking. For breakfast we supply cereals, fruits, toast, tea and coffee. Lunch is usually a self-serve picnic sandwich and salads; in the evening we have a cooked dinner - This can vary between pastas, bbqs, rices and other hearty food to keep you energized! We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops. Please refer to each individual tour/package to establish which meals are included.

Can you cater of special diets?

We can certain cater for most dietary needs. Please advise us at the time of your booking so arrangements can be made. For travellers with more extreme diets we may ask that you bring along additional snacks.

Can I book extra accommodation for the start and end of the tour?

We know our country inside and out and would be happy to give you good recommodations. Please contact us for recommendations.

What vehicles do we use whilst in Kakadu?

For our Kakadu Tours we toss between a Troop Carrier 4WD Landcruise, 4WD Canter or a custom prepared mini bus. This depends on the size of the group and the amount of days we are out in the park. Each Kakadu tour varies so please refer to your tour info panel on the top right hand side of the page.

Is there any long periods of driving?

The initial drive out to Kakadu can be quite long. In total its almost 300km to the park border. But don't worry! We stop along the way to check out a few attractions and we also visit the Bark Hut Inn where you can stretch and grab some refreshments. All up it takes a couple of hours driving to reach Kakadu but the time will go much quicker than you think! The country side is amazing.
