Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

We start our adventure in Darwin and set off on a crocodile and wildlife cruise on the Mary River Wetlands. This is the perfect opportunity to spot a wide variety of bird species and see the majestic saltwater crocodiles up close.

We then continue to Kakadu National Park and visit the Bowali Visitor Center, which provides an excellent introduction to the park’s landscape and wildlife. After a short break, we head to Cahills Crossing on the border between Kakadu and Arnhem Land.

We top off the day at Ubirr Rock, where we discover one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal rock art and enjoy a breathtaking sunset over the Nadab Floodplain. Afterwards, we return to our camp, prepare dinner together and relax at the end of the evening.

On the second day, we drive early to Kakadu National Park to explore the spectacular natural surroundings. We hike through monsoon rainforests, swim in pristine plunge pools and enjoy the waterfalls surrounded by steep cliffs and impressive rock formations.

Depending on the season, we visit Twin Falls or Jim Jim Falls. Alternatively, we explore Barramundi Gorge (Maguk) or other waterfalls such as Yurmikmik (Motor Car Falls). On the way back we stop at Nourlangie Rock, another important Aboriginal rock art site, and learn more about the 20,000-year-old art and cultural traditions of the region.

We spend the evening relaxing back at camp and enjoy a hearty dinner.

We continue our journey south and pass through Pine Creek, a historic gold mining town. After a short refreshment break at the Adelaide River, we continue into Litchfield National Park.

In the afternoon, we explore the park’s natural oases, swim in the Buley Rockholes, Wangi Falls or Florence Falls and enjoy the breathtaking rocky landscapes. The impressive magnet and cathedral termite mounds are a particular highlight.

In the late afternoon we return to Darwin, where we arrive at our accommodation at around 19:00.

Both are possible in Australia – it’s all in the mix!

Campsites offer you comfort: electricity, showers, kitchens and often a nice community atmosphere.
🚐 Freedom camping is ideal for anyone who likes to travel independently and inexpensively – but beware: overnight stays are only permitted in designated areas and vary from state to state.

We recommend a good combination of both in order to travel flexibly and relaxed.

👉 You can find all the tips and information on how free camping works legally, safely and stress-free in our blog:

Australia is a popular travel destination – especially during the school vacations, in summer (Dec-Feb) and spring (Sep-Nov) it can quickly become scarce. We recommend this especially for routes with one-way rentals or special camper models:

🕒 The earlier the better – 6+ months in advance is ideal
In the short term, many providers may already be fully booked or only more expensive options may be available.

What you should book well in advance – your Australian adventure

The battery life depends on the type of vehicle and how it is used. On average, the following applies:

1-3 nights self-sufficient – then the vehicle should be reconnected to the power grid (e.g. at a campsite).

🚐 Important to know:
The on-board battery is only fully recharged while driving (slightly) or when connected to the mains.

☀️ Some campers also have a solar panel that supports the battery when parked – ideal for short stops without a power connection. Nevertheless, we recommend:
🔌 Connect to the mains every 2-3 nights – to ensure that the fridge, lights etc. run smoothly.

🚐 With a standard camper (2WD), you may only drive on paved roads.
This means: paved roads or partially well-maintained access roads to official campsites or tourist attractions (depending on the provider).

🌄 O nly with a 4WD camper are you allowed to deviate from paved roads and drive on gravel or off-road routes.
But be careful:
For certain routes (e.g. Gibb River Road, Oodnadatta Track, Cape Leveque Road), written permission from the rental company is often required – and not all providers allow beach drives or river crossings.

💬 O ur tip: If you’re planning an off-road adventure, just let us know – we’ll tell you which routes are permitted and which campers are suitable.

💳 Yes, a credit card is required to collect the vehicle.

Even if you can pay for your booking with Ausventure Travel conveniently by credit card or bank transfer, all rental companies require a valid credit card on collection.

This is required in order to:

  • pre-authorize the deposit (liability sum)(depending on the insurance package selected),
  • to charge any additional fees such as tolls, fines or fuel costs retrospectively.

💡 Tip: A prepaid credit card or debit card is not accepted in most cases. Make sure that your credit card is valid at the time of collection and has a sufficient limit.
