Departing Jabiru Airport, head south over the township for your first glimpse of the iconic Crocodile Hotel from above. The landscape shifts beneath you; savannah woodlands, tidal flats and sweeping wetlands give way to the dramatic sandstone escarpment that has stood over Kakadu’s lowlands for over 140 million years.

Trace the ancient coastline past the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) rock art site, peer into the depths of Death Adder Gorge and on to the showstopper, Jim Jim and Twin Falls, thundering over the escarpment in full wet-season fury. Loop the falls before weaving back through monsoon forests and the double-tier cascade of Double Falls, returning to Jabiru.

Departing Jabiru Airport, cross into Dinosaur Valley and fly through the Upper East Alligator Valley, where ancient fault lines and erosion-carved rock formations tell a story millions of years in the making. Follow the winding East Alligator River and keep your eyes on the banks, saltwater crocodiles are a common sight down below. Drift over the vast Magela floodplains before catching a final glimpse of the famous Crocodile Hotel and Jabiru township as you return to the airport.
