Family trip to Kakadu
Meet Jodie, mum of two little adventurers living in the Top End of Australia. Jodie and her family have a passion for nature and a lust for adventure. They love to explore new and exciting places and special old favourites.
"Our favourite memories are those spent together in nature camping out in our caravan".
Where’s your favourite place to go in the NT?
Kakadu National Park. There's no other place you'll visit quite like Kakadu. It's unique landscapes and diversity make this Aboriginal-owned World Heritage-listed Park like no other! Landscapes ranging from coastal beaches, floodplains and of course the stone country where you will find magnificent waterfalls.
What can you do in Kakadu?
Kakadu offers a range of activities including boat cruises, scenic flights, camping and hiking. There really is something for everyone and a it's a great place to explore with children.
What are the best things to do in Kakadu?
My most recommended activity in Kakadu is experiencing the waterfalls from the air during the wet season when they're in all their glory. I personally prefer a helicopter with the doors off! Any trip to Kakadu is also not complete without witnessing a sunset from one of the many great sunset lookouts. Our top picks are Ubirr and Nawurlandja.
What’s the best time of year to visit Kakadu?
Kakadu is so diverse that you can visit anytime of year. I always think it's great to visit once in the dry and return again in the wet to see the miraculous difference in the landscapes. Of course, with the different seasons comes different seasonal closures, so it is always best to check if the sites you are hoping to visit are open before you get on the road.
How long should you spend in Kakadu?
Kakadu stretches 200kms North to South, so I always recommend at least a few days to a week to really immerse yourself in all it has to offer.
Best place to stay in Kakadu
There are a number of accommodation options in Kakadu ranging from hotel rooms at The Croc, cabins at the caravan parks or camping in one of the many designated camp grounds throughout the park.
