Ubirr Combo Tour

Kakadu comes alive in the wet and produces some magnificent spectacles & experiences for visitors.

This is the time of the year our wetlands flood and road access to the Ubirr Rock Art Complex, an icon of the World Heritage-listed National Park, is cut off.
Kakadu Cultural Tours operates the Ubirr Combo Tour that over comes this access issue.

The Ubirr Combo Tour collects clients in customised 4WD vehicles from Jabiru based accommodation and heads out to the East Alligator River or Manbiyarra district of the Park through the flooded Magela Creek.
There are two itinerary variations and depending on the environmental conditions on the day of travel the itinerary could be either of the following:

a. We collect from Jabiru and meet the Guluyambi boats at the Magela Crossing then after cruising through the flooded wet land clients will connect with the KCT vehicle on the other side and head to Ubirr and return to Jabiru.

b. We collect from Jabiru, drive through the Magela Creek and head straight to Ubirr. After viewing Ubirr the tour connects with a Guluyambi boat cruise on the East Alligator River. After cruise return to Jabiru.

Conditions permitting in 2025 we plan to operate the Ubirr Combo Tour Wednesday to Sunday from early March until & including the Easter weekend.
We are completely at the mercy of the environment to operate this product. As we require sufficient water levels in the Magela Creek. For this reason, we don’t generally sell the tour well in advance. Seats are limited as we only have 1 departure per day. Tentative bookings for the Ubirr Combo Tour are welcome and can be made on the condition the client’s firm up and pay for their bookings 7 days out from the date of travel.

Ubirr Combo Tour

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The wet season produces some absolutely magnificent scenery in the Territory’s Top End. This is the time of the year our Wetlands flood. In Kakadu the flooding cuts off the road access to Ubirr Rock, an icon of the World Heritage-listed National Park. Kakadu Cultural Tours operates the Ubirr Combo Tour that over comes this access issue.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Ubirr Combo Tour collects clients in customised 4WD vehicles from Jabiru based accommodation and heads out to the East Alligator River district through the flooded Magela Creek. Once you arrive at the creek you are transferred onto a waiting Guluyambi Cultural Cruise. Expert Aboriginal guides will provide guests with an insight into local Aboriginal mythology, traditional uses for many plants and animals as well as bush survival skills required for this wilderness environment. After departing the cruise you’ll head onto Ubirr Rock Complex, where you’ll take in some of its ancient rock art sites and experience the views from the lookout before heading back across the flooded Magela Creek to Jabiru.</p>
