There’s something truly special about Kakadu, a place where nature, culture, and wildlife come together in the most powerful way. From ancient landscapes to rich cultural history, the wildlife will truly steal the show. Watch saltwater crocs glide through the wetlands, birds of prey circling above, and hear the sounds of nature all around, every moment feels unforgettable.

Kakadu National Park is also a bird lover’s paradise – home to more than a third of Australia’s bird species. It is the perfect place to discover and learn all about the unique species of birds living in this magical part of the world, which is dual World Heritage-listed for both its natural and cultural values. Join us for Bird Week 24 - 28 September, 2025 where visitors and viewers are treated to specialist lectures, cultural events and some of Australia's best birdwatching.

Nawurlandja Lookout in Kakadu National Park offers breathtaking views over Anbangbang Billabong to Burrungkuy (Nourlangie). A short, rewarding hike leads to one of the best sunset spots in the Top End. 🌄

Absolutely worth the climb!

There’s nothing like a Kakadu sunset. 🌅 Watching the sky burn orange over the floodplains, with birds calling and the land glowing in golden light - it's pure magic.
