Driving from Darwin is straightforward via the Arnhem Highway, the main road into Kakadu. The trip typically takes 2–3 hours to Jabiru, 3–4 hours to Cooinda. Along the way, we recommend stopping at the Mamukala Wetlands or visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre near Jabiru to purchase your Parks Pass and pick up information on the region.

Ever wondered what a stay at Cooinda Lodge actually looks like? Swipe through and see for yourself.
👉 You'll arrive at our village-style resort beside Yellow Water Billabong, find a park with ease, check in, and grab a few snacks from the store (and the obligatory Croc kitchen mitt - a crowd pleaser), before wandering through the leafy grounds to your accommodation. Then it's time to settle into whichever stay suits you best - comfortable, air-conditioned Lodge Rooms with their own ensuite; Outback Retreats, our safari-style canvas tents with handcrafted furniture, Aboriginal artwork, and ensuites; or, for something truly special, a Yellow Water Villa with its own private bathtub on the veranda. And yes we have a campground too with pop-up tents (everything is supplied), along with powered and unpowered sites.
However you like to travel, there's a spot for you here. 🧡

Joining us for Bird Week in September? We've released special Bird Week Yellow Water Cruises:
6:45 am Thursday, 24 September (2HR)
6:45 am Sunday, 27 September (2HR)
The iconic Yellow Water Billabong, nestled within Kakadu National Park, is home to more than 280 bird species. During Bird Week, timed with seasonal mass migration, the billabongs come alive as flocks gather in extraordinary numbers, creating a rare and vibrant display of colour, sound and movement.
See link in bio for a sticky beak.
Don't forget to bring your binoculars, pack your zoom lens, and prepare for an unforgettable encounter with Kakadu’s rich birdlife.
Note: This tour is not suitable for children under 8 years as our bird watchers will be moving freely around the boat.

🌅 Worth the early wake-up call? Absolutely. There’s something pretty special about watching Kakadu wake up from the water.
As Rob discovered on tje Yellow Water Cruise, the dawn tour delivers spectacular sunrise colours, incredible wildlife encounters and a knowledgeable guide to bring it all to life. 🐊🦅
From crocs cruising through the wetlands to birds and other wildlife appearing as the morning unfolds - this is Kakadu at its most magical.
⭐️ “Highly recommended 👍” - Rob
Set the alarm. You won’t regret it.

⛰️ 360° of Kakadu magic.
If you’re looking for a view that puts the sheer scale of Kakadu into perspective, make your way to Gunwarrdehwarrde Lookout, also known as Kunwarddewardde.
Located in the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) rock art area, the lookout opens up to an incredible 360-degree panorama of towering Arnhem Land sandstone escarpments, endless savanna woodlands and the dramatic Burrungkuy rock formation.
It’s the kind of view that makes you stop, look around and realise just how ancient and extraordinary this landscape really is. 🌿
📍 Gunwarrdehwarrde Lookout, Burrungkuy (Nourlangie), Kakadu National Park
