Today we head out of Litchfield and stop on the Arnhem Highway to enjoy a cruise on the river. Be prepared to sit well back and marvel at the huge saltwater crocodiles that will leap up to take food from the tour guides. These 'salties' can grow up to 7m long.

We continue on and arrive early afternoon into Kakadu National Park. We explore Ubirr Rock and then visit Burrungkuy (Nourlangie), to view some of the most well preserved Aboriginal rock paintings, before heading to camp.

In the morning we enjoy a Katherine River Gorge Cruise. Known by the aboriginal name Nitmiluk, a cruise through Katherine Gorge is an amazing experience. The Gorge is one of the most spectacular areas in the country, winding 12 kilometres with walls more than 70 metres high.

After our cruise we head further South and arrive at Mataranka we enjoy a lovely dip in the thermal pools. Feel every muscle in your body relax as you slip into the warm waters of Mataranka thermal pools. The water flows from Rainbow Springs to this idyllic spot surrounded by tropical rainforest. We then continue south arriving at Banka Banka Station late afternoon.

This morning we visit Uluru. We respect the cultural beliefs of the indigenous people that this is a sacred site. We enjoy a guided base walk around the rock, you see sacred caves and learn about the ceremonies and religion of the indigenous people.

Time to visit the Cultural Centre and learn about the history of the local tribes, dreamtime and sacred ceremonies before we head to camp for lunch.

This afternoon we visit Kata Tjuta. Some say this is more impressive than Uluru, you decide! Walk to the lookout and marvel at the imposing domes before returning to camp to relax.
