Why Fly Kakadu

Kakadu is 19804 sq. kilometres in size, Metropolitan Sydney is 12145 kilometres in size (Wikipedia) yet because of unsuitable terrain Kakadu National Park has few roads.

If you drove every road and track in Kakadu, you would see less than 1% of the park.

Additional Links

Often visitors have a perception of what Kakadu might look like, this based on television documentaries, books and brochures, and is understandable as the authors most often use aircraft to get the images you see, however on ground the forest veils the sights we expect to see.

A Kakadu Air Scenic flight rises above all, allowing views that will forever fulfil or perhaps even challenge your perception of this timeless land.

Seasons in the Top End

Kakadu enjoys two major climatic seasons, the wet and dry seasons, (local aboriginal folk recognize more seasons in their calendar).

Commencement and termination of wet & dry seasons by month are very predictable and can be diarized.

The actual views and seasonal variations are not so predictable, for instance waterfalls are created by wet season rains, rain fall totals are predictable, but when exactly they will occur within the months of the "wet season" is not.

Fighting Spirit of Darwin Scenic Flight

The City of Darwin has been bashed by war & cyclones, but her spirit was never broken.

A unique and inspirational flight over Australia's most Northern Capitol, a scenically enlightening sight of a city squeezed onto a peninsular and mostly surrounded by an enormous harbor. The focus of the flight goes beyond the scenic views, it goes to the heart of Darwin and the horrors it endured in war and during natural disasters.
