Not every adventure is about reaching the destination. Sometimes, it's about slowing down along the way. 🌿

The Bardedjilidji Walk is a gentle 2.5km loop that winds through some of Kakadu's most fascinating landscapes. Wander between ancient sandstone outliers, pockets of lush monsoon forest, paperbark woodland and peaceful wetlands, with something new to discover around every bend.

Along the track, keep an eye out for wildlife like the elusive black wallaroo, colourful chestnut-quilled rock pigeon, echidnas and soaring white-bellied sea-eagles. You'll also discover how Traditional Owners have cared for this Country for tens of thousands of years, with native plants used for weaving, food and tools, and ancient rock art tucked within cool sandstone shelters.

📍 Bardedjilidji Walk, Kakadu National Park

Your Private Kakadu Adventure Tour 🥾
Kakadu has a way of revealing itself differently to everyone... which is exactly why we offer a private option. Our exclusive charter departs straight from Cooinda Lodge, taking your group deep into Kakadu's hidden gems aboard a 4WD LandCruiser or 4WD bus, in full air-conditioned comfort, for a customised 7-hour expedition.

Depending on the season and conditions, your journey might lead to Gunlom Falls, Maguk Falls, Kubara Pools, or other culturally significant sites with each one telling a different part of Kakadu's story. With a minimum of 2 passengers and a fixed charter price for the entire vehicle (seating up to 15 guests on the 4WD Bus), it's an ideal way for groups, clubs, and small tour parties to explore together, at their own pace.
