That’s not a tour. THIS is a tour.

Forty years ago, Crocodile Dundee introduced the world to Kakadu National Park. And now you can retrace Mick’s exact steps on a brand-new, self-guided tour.
We’re talking the real locations: Nourlangie (Burrungkuy) rock art site, the glassy Anbangbang Billabong, the ancient escarpment at Ubirr, and Gunlom Falls, where Mick famously speared a fish before taking a dip in one of the most spectacular natural pools in the Northern Territory.

Kakadu was always extraordinary. But knowing Paul Hogan stood right there during production of the iconic film? That’s the kind of nostalgic set-jetting that makes a destination hit different.
The tour drops just in time for the film’s 40th anniversary – it premiered in Sydney on 30 April 1986 – and it pairs beautifully with a wave of new experiences emerging across the Top End, from Arnhem Land cultural tours led by Yolŋu hosts to astro-photography sessions around Uluṟu.
