The renowned travel editor of Australia’s Fairfax newspapers, Anthony Dennis, visited Kakadu recently and provides 20 reasons why everyone should visit this spectacular region…
One of Expedia’s most experienced video and camera professionals recently had the opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream to travel to Kakadu and film this magical region.
Kakadu Tourism has launched a range of special cruise and accommodation offers to provide even greater incentives for visitors to enjoy Kakadu National Park during the ‘green season’.
Kakadu is a remarkable destination throughout the year, but is often forgotten during the ‘Tropical Summer’, which basically lasts from November through to April.
‘Twitchers’ and lovers of Australia’s outback wildlife are invited to witness some of the world’s most exotic bird life during Kakadu Bird Week from 14 – 21 October, 2015.
As an Australian and a travel lover I have been lucky enough to see a lot of our beautiful country, and yet I am also guilty of grabbing my passport and heading overseas when I still have so many incredible places to visit here at home.
Kakadu’s Mahbil Festival will be held on 5 September celebrating the best in Indigenous music, arts and bushfoods – with everyone invited to join in the fun and excitement of the free, day-long Festival.
Kakadu’s modern tourism origins owe a vast amount to former Crocodile Hunter, Tom Opitz, and his ‘English Rose’ wife, Judy Opitz, who opened a store on the banks of Jim Jim Creek in 1964.
Join Kakadu Bird Week 2025, from 24–28 September, as tens of thousands of magpie geese flood the wetlands at the end of the dry season. They gather at billabongs like Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba) to feed, creating one of nature’s most spectacular gatherings as water levels fall.
With Kakadu home to over one‑third of Australia’s bird species, it's the perfect time to spot everything from brolgas and jabirus to comb‑crested jacanas.
Perfect for: bird lovers, photographers, cultural explorers, and anyone wanting a front-row seat to Kakadu’s wildlife spectacle. Set your binoculars and spirits high! See our website for more information - link in bio.

Up here at Gunlom Falls, it’s not just a swim, it’s a moment. Perched above the ancient stone country of Kakadu, this natural infinity pool serves up one of the most jaw-dropping views in the Top End. Cool water, red cliffs, endless skies... it’s the kind of place that makes you stop and stay a little longer.
