 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).
