Kakadu Walking Tour
Kakadu, Australia
Why Walk Kakadu
Kakadu National Park covers nearly 8,000 square miles of Australia's Northern Territory, encompassing tidal flats, floodplains, monsoon forests, and a dramatic sandstone escarpment. The park is jointly managed with its Aboriginal traditional owners, the Bininj/Mungguy people, whose rock art sites — some dating back 20,000 years — are among the most significant in the world. Kakadu has over 280 bird species and is home to both saltwater and freshwater crocodiles.
