Few places in Australia, or even the world, are quite as unique or revered as Kakadu National Park, just 150 km from Darwin in the Northern Territory. Covering an area of almost 20,000 square km, which is roughly half the size of Switzerland, Kakadu is as breathtaking in its size as it is in its natural beauty and cultural heritage. World heritage listed for both its natural and cultural significance, there is nowhere quite like Kakadu.

Places to see

What are Kakadu's must-see attractions?

From bird watching, waterfall swimming and day tours, scenic flights and bush walking, there's something for everyone in Kakadu. Given its enormous size, it is a destination that deserves days rather than hours to fully appreciate.

A home to its traditional Indigenous owners for an estimated 65,000 years, there are approximately 2,000 different plant species, over 280 bird species and more than 10,000 crocodiles in the park.

Walk through Ubirr or the ancient shelters at Nourlangie and learn about ancient rock art (some rock paintings are over 20,000 years old) to fully appreciate the diversity and skill in traditional Kakadu art, or take a walk on one of the 30 established walking trails in the park. 

Not enough? Then watch the sunset while cruising on Yellow Water billabong, climb up for a swim at Gunlom pool high on the escarpment, marvel at the splendour of Jim Jim Falls or watch nature in all its splendour as you bird watch at Mamukala wetlands.

Find the right hotel

What are Kakadu's best hotels for the solo traveller?

It's hard to go past Mary River Wilderness Retreat if you're a solo traveller. Set just 32 km from the park boundary, you'll enjoy deluxe accommodation or powered camping sites, as well as the chance to take river tours, wetland safaris, fishing and birdwatching tours and a stunning garden with a pool to relax and meet new friends.

What are Kakadu's best hotels for couples?

Seeking time with your significant other? Kakadu Lodge is among Kakadu's best hotels for couples looking to get away from it all without leaving comfort behind. Set in tropical surrounds with a lagoon style pool, restaurant and tour desk, Kakadu Lodge is the ideal place to start and end your day in beautiful Kakadu.

What are Kakadu's best hotels for families?

With one of the most unique hotel designs in the world (in the shape of a crocodile), Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel is the perfect hideaway for the family for their next visit to Kakadu. With tropical gardens, adult and children's swimming pools, restaurant, gift shop and a 24-hour concierge, Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel is the best place to unwind after a hard day's touring.
