Top End Holidays

It might typically be reserved for a second time visit but there is nowhere that encapsulates the authentic side of Australia like the tropical Top End - and Kakadu National Park is the feather in the cap. Covering some 12,500 square miles from coast to estuaries, through floodplains, billabongs and rocky ridges, it’s home to a breathtaking array of wildlife and 50,000 years of history documented in Aboriginal rock art.

The relaxed tropical atmosphere of Darwin makes it the perfect base for your Top End holiday. From here, explore the incredible national parks of Kakadu, Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) and Litchfield, home to native wildlife and beautiful scenery.
