Kakadu National Park

Australias largest national park and a dual UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kakadu encompasses nearly 20,000 square kilometres of diverse landscapes—from tidal flats and floodplains to sandstone escarpments and monsoon rainforest. Home to one-third of Australias bird species and some of the worlds oldest Aboriginal rock art sites, including Ubirr and Nourlangie.

Park pass required. Many areas close during wet season (Nov-Apr). Crocodile safety is critical—never swim in unmarked waterways. Allow multiple days to explore.
