Search for the mighty crocs who rule this waterway, buffalo, birds and other wildlife.

Our entrance to Kakadu National Park is at the South Alligator River, a picturesque location for a picnic lunch. We arrive into Ubirr in the late afternoon; here you will view a wide range of ancient Aboriginal art which will be interpreted by your guide.
