Embrace Culture
A visit to the Warradjan Cultural Centre is a must do, developed by local clans to share their culture, stories, history and way of life with visitors. On weekends, Traditional Owners often sit under the shade of trees to weave bracelets and baskets for you to take home. The Cultural Centre also has a gallery shop with authentic traditional paintings available, so you can take a piece of Kakadu with you.

Bird’s Eye View of Kakadu
Summer in Top End brings with it tropical storms and heavy rainfall, with gushing waterfalls, increased crocodile movement and road closures. The Wet is the perfect excuse to enjoy Kakadu from the air, so why not book a cheeky charter with Kakadu Air and admire its beauty from above? If you’re prone to travel sickness, just make sure you take some travel tablets!
