YOU'LL HAVE KAKADU ATTRACTIONS ALL TO YOURSELF
Discover rock art sites like Burrungkuy and Ubirr, where stories from over 65,000 years ago are etched into the landscape. Visiting during the low season offers a quiet and tranquil experience, allowing you to fully absorb the sacred power of these sites without the crowds.
As the sun sets at Nawurlandja, you'll be treated to a breathtaking display. The lower season's clearer air often brings out brighter, more vibrant colors, creating the perfect opportunity for the photograph of a lifetime. Enjoy the peacefulness and feel a profound connection to this ancient land.
