Discover all the best things to do and see in Australia's biggest national park. Ancient landscapes, thundering waterfalls, Aboriginal rock art and wildlife found nowhere else in Australia – Kakadu National Park feels like a place from another world.
Gunlom Falls, Kakadu National Park’s most famous waterfall, has reopened, just as the film – Crocodile Dundee – which made the attraction a global tourism icon celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Gunlom is one of Kakadu National Park's most cherished attractions, famously featured in Crocodile Dundee and located on Jawoyn country. Visitors can embark on a hike to the peaceful plunge pools at the summit, with stunning panoramic views.
Qantas Insider and Qantas Magazine showcase a collection of incredible First Nations cultural experiences across Australia, including our own Yellow Water Cruise.
Kakadu National Park is one of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes year-round, but during the wet season—particularly Kudjewk (January to March)—conditions can change quickly.
Thirty years ago, the film Crocodile Dundee catapulted Kakadu into the international spotlight. Paul Hogan played the character of Mick ‘Crocodile’ Dundee, a legendary bushie, who had supposedly lost a leg to a croc in an outback encounter.
We’re thrilled to share that the Top End, home to Kakadu National Park, has been ranked #14 on The New York Times’ prestigious 52 Places to Go in 2026 — the first Australian destination to appear on the list.
Welcome to the monsoon season—January to March, known to locals as Kudjewk! Explore the sites open now and the tours running throughout the wet season!

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.
