Itinerary:

Get back to nature and set up camp in the comfort of your motorhome in some of Australia’s most scenic national parks: Mary River, Nitmiluk, Litchfield and the UNESCO World Heritage listed Kakadu.    

Days 1-2 Darwin  
Arrive in tropical Darwin and explore the city at your own pace. This laidback town’s tropical lifestyle combined with its rich WWII history affords a diverse mix of attractions to discover.    

Day 3 Darwin to Mary River NP  
Collect your motorhome and join the ‘Nature’s Way’ road to Mary River National Park. Explore the area’s lush wetlands, home to the largest concentration of saltwater crocodiles and over 250 species of birds.    

Days 4-6 Mary River NP to Kakadu NP  
Continue to Kakadu National Park and spend the next two days exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit Nourlangie Rock and the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn more of the indigenous culture of the region, then cruise on Kakadu’s most extensive wetlands – the Yellow Water Billabong – for a mesmerising experience with spectacular scenery.    

Days 7-8 Kakadu NP to Nitmiluk NP  
Head south to Nitmiluk National Park, home to 13 gorges carved from ancient sandstone. Explore the first three of these gorges on a scenic cruise and perhaps visit Top Didj Art Gallery for an insight into Aboriginal artwork, hike one of the many walking trails or take a swim in the pool of Edith Falls.    

Day 9 Nitmiluk NP to Litchfield NP  
Explore Pine Creek, just off the Stuart Highway en route to Litchfield National Park. Marvel at the original buildings and railway station of this gold rush town before continuing to Litchfield.    

Day 10 Litchfield NP  
Explore Litchfield National Park’s picturesque bushwalk tracks, admire the numerous misty waterfalls and marvel at the iconic towering termite mounds.    

Day 11 Litchfield NP to Crab Claw Island  
Journey north to the coastal retreat of Crab Claw Island for a relaxing escape nestled in Bynoe Harbour. Your campsite is situated right on the water’s edge so why not sit back and relax on the beach with a barbecue while enjoying a spectacular sunset?

Day 12 Crab Claw Island  
Boasting some of the best fishing grounds in the Northern Territory, head out to explore mangroves and sandy beaches. Perhaps try your hand at fishing, hire a boat and explore the fringing reef or simply soak up the sun relaxing on the beach.

Travel back to Darwin to drop off your motorhome before your onward flight.
