Why backpackers love it

If you’re staying in Jabiru or Cooinda and don’t have your own setup for exploring Kakadu, this keeps things easy. Resort pick-up saves hassle, and the shorter format works well if you’re fitting Kakadu into a tight itinerary. It’s not a cheap budget trip, and you’ll need decent fitness, but for travellers who want a guided nature-focused outing with local knowledge and no self-drive logistics, it’s a simple option.

What to expect

You’ll be picked up from your resort reception and driven out with your guide for a shorter Kakadu outing centred on Maguk Falls. The experience is designed as a half-day trip, so it suits travellers who want to get out into the park without committing to a full-day tour. Along the way, your guide shares local knowledge on the landscape, wildlife and cultural context, and freshly made snacks are provided during the tour. Access to the falls is seasonal, so the exact experience depends on whether Maguk is open at the time of travel. A moderate level of fitness is required, and it is not recommended for travellers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health or for pregnant travellers.
