The Ultimate Barunga Festival Adventure

This ultimate festival adventure combines the Barunga Festival with Territory National Parks.

Are you looking to head to the wonderful Barunga Festival this June? Look no further as Kakadu 4WD Safaris are the only tour operator combining this much loved Territory event with the exploration of the stunning Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks. You’ll already be in the outback, so why not carry on your spiritual indigenous journey and immerse yourself in the true culture and mesmerising scenery with the 6-Day Top End Barunga Festival tour.

The Barunga Festival sees people from all over the country descend upon the small Indigenous community just south of Katherine. The camp offers a full program of workshops, dancing ceremonies, didgeridoo making, basket weaving, and plenty of fantastic music and sports from the region.

“Engage in a spear throwing competition…”

The festival is an opportunity to truly absorb the traditional side of Australia. Spend your time damper cooking, engage in a spear throwing competition, learn the wonderful Kriol language in classes, and listen in awe to women’s story telling by the river. This experience will be one you will never forget.

But that’s just one side of your incredible trip. Don’t forget your journey doesn’t end here, as you’ll have the opportunity to venture into the much-loved National Parks. Take a refreshing dip in Edith Falls and snap some photos of Jim Jim & Twin Falls. See the fascinating Ubirr Rock Art and take an exciting cruise out to Nitmiluk Gorge. Watch a magical sunset at Yellow Waters before settling in your camp for the night, only to be greeted with fresh and tasty food cooking on the campfire.

“Take a walk through the monsoon rainforest…”

Relax on sandy beaches, walk through the monsoon rainforest and venture to creeks on your hikes. And there’s more; enjoy a Guluyambi Cultural cruise on the East Alligator River where if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a few crocs! You’ll gain an amazing insight into local customs and dreamtime stories from the local Indigenous guide. A visit to the Mindil Beach sunset Markets ends the trip in the most perfect way possible.
