Overview

The Darwin Day Tripper is the perfect one day visit to Kakadu from Darwin.

This tour includes over 2 hours of scenic flights, the MUST DO Yellow Water River Cruise, adequate time on ground to lunch at Cooinda, a visit to an Aboriginal Visitor Centre and still be back in Darwin for late afternoon and evening activities.

This iconic tour is ideal for the time poor due to the long distances involved. The bonus of aircraft travel is not just limited to saving time though, it's really about the 2 hours of extraordinary views of the Arafura Coast, vast floodplains, winding rivers, stunning Arnhem Land Plateau, Jim Jim and Twin falls (in the wet season) and so many other major sites!

With a guaranteed window seat on all our flights sit back and take in the majesty of Australia's largest National Park whilst absorbing the informative commentary.

Departing Darwin in a Cessna 402, with wonderful commentary from Owen, our pilot and guide, it was clear we were going to have a great day. The early April weather was perfect. The rainy season was ending, but the water still high and the waterfalls running strong. We flew from Darwin out to Kakadu, with spectacular views of the wetlands, the rocks, and the waterfalls before landing at the Cooinda airport. We proceeded to a boat tour with Yellow Water Cruises on the Jim Jim and South Aligator Rivers with Greg (a/k/a Gekko) as our engaging tour guide. We returned to lunch at the restaurant and then an educational tour in the cultural center before flying back to Darwin. The trip exceeded expectations. Lots of natural beauty accompanied by wonderful commentary from our local guides. We highly recommend this tour

There to no way better to see Kakadu then from the air .The scenery was just breathtaking along the flood plains rising up to the gorges of Kakadu. The Wet season didn't disappoint. With only 2 guests on the flight we had the most wonderful day .I would highly recommend this way of seeing Kakadu with the amazing staff of Kakadu Airlines

Spectacular! William (the pilot/host/guide) was welcoming, knowledgable, and flexible. Absolutely worth the cost and probably the best way to see Kakadu. Didn’t get to the caves was the only downside, but for 7 hours round trip - a real fun adventure. Lunch at Coolinda Lodge was exceptional. Have the barramundi!

Terrible experience. We turned up to our booking, Kakadu air said they had no knowledge of. The whole thing was cancelled and 3 days later we still don’t have our money back. Kakadu air were not sympathetic at all, they just blame La Vacanza Travel and vice versa. Ruined our trip to Darwin.
