We’ll visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre before cruising the Yellow Water Billabong with a local guide (look out for saltwater crocodiles and the colourful birdlife!).

This morning we’ll head to the World Heritage Listed area of Ubirr, where we’ll view ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries, believed to be 20,000 years old, and head to the lookout for stunning views over the wetlands. 

Later, we’ll join the Guluyambi Cruise on the East Alligator River where an Aboriginal guide will provide insights into their culture and local mythology, the river’s abundant food chain, and we’ll learn about bush survival skills. With special permission of the local people, you can go ashore in Arnhem Land. 

Before making the journey back to Darwin, we’ll visit the Marrawuddi Art Gallery which supports over 500 artists across different arts disciplines such as painting, screen-printing, weaving, photography and sculpture.

Notes: 
Ubirr - Low to moderate level of fitness required. Walk is slightly uneven around the base but quite steep on the way to lookout.
