 Kakadu National Park

The entrance gate to Kakadu National Park is located just 168km from Darwin, but it is a large park requiring at least one overnight stay. Read our Kakadu Trek Note for detailed information. Access to Kakadu from Darwin is via the Stuart Highway, Arnhem and Kakadu Highways - all of which are sealed and generally remain open throughout the year. Wet season flooding associated with prolonged heavy rains cause temporary closures. Other roads within Kakadu, such as access to campgrounds, waterholes and walking tracks are unsealed and may become inaccessible for periods of time during the wet season (Oct - May).

The shuttle operates every day.
The first boat shuttle departs at 7.30am. with departures at least every half hour until 4pm.
The last returning shuttle leaves the gorge at 5pm.
The boat shuttle is the only access to the Twin Falls Gorge and leads to a marked walking track through the Gorge to the base of Twin Falls. Visitors should allow about two hours return for the boat trip and walk.
The first section of the walk, approximately 70 metres, is of a moderate grade and ends at a shady area where there is a good view of the falls. The remainder of the walk is suitable for people who are fit and can manage uneven terrain.
Tickets for the guided boat shuttle should be purchased before travelling to Twin Falls Gorge and can be purchased at many locations in Kakadu.
