A fascinating way to see this remote region.

Stay for two nights at Aurora Kakadu (Standard) or Gagadju Crocodile Holiday Inn (Superior). Visit Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock for some of Australia's richest Aboriginal rock art, and the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre for a real insight into the park's cultural heritage.
