What's this trip about?

    Red dust and rock formations, countless gullies and gorges, billabongs and plunge pools, Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander culture, and a whole heap of wildlife – Kakadu and Litchfield are the heroes of the Top End. This active Aussie adventure will get your right into the heart of this wilderness, and you’ll hike, climb, cruise, camp, swim, dip and soak your way through Jim Jim Falls, Barramundi Gorge, Wangi Falls, Florence Falls and Buley Rockhole. You’ll learn about the region’s original inhabitants, spots crocs in a billabong, see strange towering termite mounds, then bring the days to a close with some traditional Aussie cuisine and a swag right beneath the stars. In just 3 days you’ll get a great introduction to the waterfalls, unique landscapes and traditional culture of Kakadu and Litchfield National Park.

Itinerary

Day 1 Kakadu and Ubirr

There’s a lot to the Northern Territory beyond its iconic red rock and dust – it’s also a place full of water and wildlife. Start today by entering the lands of a classic Aussie animal – the saltwater crocodile. After a pickup from the accommodation, head to Corrobore...

Day 2 Jim Jim Falls and Barramundi Gorge

Rumbling around the Outback in a 4WD – it doesn’t get much more Aussie than that. That’s exactly what we’ll do after breakfast this morning as we drive out into Kakadu to Jim Jim Falls. The twin falls that cascade 200 metres down are said to be the jewel in the crown ...

Day 3 Litchfield National Park

Litchfield might be near to Darwin, but we’re definitely in the heart of the wilderness here. The park is named after a Top End explorer but has long been important to the Mak Mak Marranunggu, Werat and Waray people. A collection of top-notch waterholes and waterfalls...

The Intrepid Travel Experience

If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.

Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.

Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.

Why Intrepid?

  •   Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
  •   Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
  •   Local leaders - authentic perspectives
  •   Local transport - get close and personal
  •   Local accommodation - experience real living
  •   Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions
