Morning: Darwin to Jabiru via Mount Bundey
Hit the road early for an epic ride from the NT’s capital and into the iconic Kakadu National Park, but not before visiting some of Darwin’s artistic and historic highlights. Head to Crocosaurus Cove to see the giant saltwater crocodiles, or learn about Darwin’s storied history at the Aviation Museum or 1934 Qantas Hangar. Near the waterfront, art and culture await at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
Kick start your ride by following the Arnhem Highway to Mount Bundey for morning tea. Afterwards, cruise into Kakadu National Park towards Jabiru, passing through eucalypt forests and the scenic Mamukala Wetlands along the way.
In Kakadu, break for a laid-back lunch at one of Jabiru’s country pubs or cafes, and explore the Bowali Visitor Centre. You might also venture off the beaten track towards Ubirr, around 30 minutes away, to see the amazing rock art.
Afternoon: Jabiru to Katherine via Pine Creek
After lunch, follow the Kakadu Highway towards Pine Creek. Stunning scenic lookouts can be found along the way at Barramundi Gorge, Mirrai Lookout, and Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba).

At Pine Creek, take an afternoon pitstop to recharge your batteries, and learn about the pioneering history of the area at the local museum.
