What Lonely Planet Says about Kakadu National Park

Lonely Planet

"You’ve probably absorbed many of the images and information that abounds about this NT icon. You would have heard that it’s Australia’s largest national park, sheltering a variety of habitats and wildlife, including saltwater crocodiles. And it’s well known that the park is World Heritage listed. But experiencing the extraordinary natural and human histories kept at Kakadu defies anything you’ve read (including this). Even old-hand nature buffs will find for the first time seed pods, insects and animals unique to the area. The 2000 million-year-old rocks tell 20, 000-year-old stories: of the existence of long-extinct giant kangaroos and thylacines. There are hundreds of square kilometres of park, so allow at least three days to discover a smidgen."

About Travelwild Australia

Travelwild Logo

We are an Australian based tour operator who began running small group Adventure Tours for backpackers and active travelers on Kangaroo Island in 1998. We started with a 2 day 4WD Camping Tour, and today are proud to offer over 30 high quality small group adventure tours from Kakadu and the Kimberley in the north, to the Outback and Ayers Rock in the centre to Kangaroo Island in the South.

Travelwild Tours are either "Travelwild Operated Tours" run by Travelwild, or "Travelwild Partner Tours" run by our partners who share our passion for Small Group, Active Adventure Tours.

Either way your tour will be led by a professional local guide, you'll visit out of the way places the busses and crowds don't go, you will have quality camping equipment and good food. The small groups allow plenty of time to have fun and explore.

Join one of these tours and we guarantee you will have an experience you'll never forget as you camp, hike, swim and canoe your way through the Australian Wilderness.

Small Groups, 4WD Vehicles, Local Knowledge, Adventure Activities and Active People is quite simply a recipe for a great tour, suprising few tour operators understand this simple fact.

  • Small Groups. Our small group Australian tours are kept small because they allow for better access to remote areas, creates less environmental impact and creates a much better tour dynamic. The reality is that big bus groups suffer because guides are too busy organizing a large group rather than guiding. If you want to meet other people and fun as a group, keep it small!
  • 4WD Vehicles. They may not be the most comfortable vehicles around, but if you want to get the best spots in Australia without the crowds you need to divert down some of our 4WD only dirt tracks. If you are prepared to rough it, then you'll be rewarded.
  • Local Knowledge is vital if you expect your guide to know what they are doing. Each Travelwild Tour is owned and operated by local individuals who live and love where they tour.
  • Adventure Activities are the best way to experience pristine wilderness areas, hiking, swimming, climbing, bush camping and canoeing (on selected tours) gets you into the bush and away from the crowds.
  • Active People, most passengers who travel are between 18 and 39, come from all over the world, lead active lives and enjoy the outdoors, (most groups are around 50% males and females). If you want to have fun on tour, it's important you travel with people you can relate to.
