Driving from Darwin is straightforward via the Arnhem Highway, the main road into Kakadu. The trip typically takes 2–3 hours to Jabiru, 3–4 hours to Cooinda. Along the way, we recommend stopping at the Mamukala Wetlands or visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre near Jabiru to purchase your Parks Pass and pick up information on the region.
If you're searching for a 4WD vehicle or a 4WD Campervan, be sure to check out Adventure Rentals!

Fly into Darwin International Airport, then continue your journey to Kakadu. The Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel is located in Jabiru, approximately a 3-hour drive from Darwin. You’ll need to hire a car or join a tour from Darwin to reach the hotel.

An unforgettable Kakadu moment: water buffalo silhouetted against a Top End sunset. Introduced in the 1800s, they’re not native to these wetlands, but they’ve become part of Kakadu’s evolving landscape.
