Others

Sydney: Why does the itinerary use dual-names for locations (ie. Warrane/Sydney)? Contiki acknowledges the Traditional and Torres Strait Island owners of the land, sea and waters of the spectacular Australian continent. Dual-naming reflects that, as we explore this remarkable land, we recognise and respect Indigenous custodianship of a unique, ancient culture and country. Darwin: Weโ€™ll uncover the very best of this cultural hotspot, with a local guide on hand to answer all our burning questions. Kakadu National Park: Climb to the top and be rewarded with a sunset to rival the African savannas. Youโ€™ll half-expect a lion to walk into the frame! Kakadu National Park: See the work of Aboriginal artists and craft-makers and learn more about the indigenous tribes. Kakadu National Park: Some Aboriginal art on Nourlangie Rocks has been around for 20,000 years! It makes our nan look like a spring chicken. Katherine: Kick back and take a refreshing dip in the crystalline plunge pools, surrounded by monsoon forest. Pure bliss! Litchfield National Park: One for the bucket list. Take it easy in the relaxing plunge pools, or swim under the cascading Florence Falls. Litchfield National Park: WTF? You say. Trust us. This a weird but unmissable highlight at Litchfield National Park. Kakadu National Park: Immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture at Pudakul. Meet a local family in their home and learn about the significance of the Didgeridoo.
