Continue to Penglipuran Culture Village where you will be charmed by the beautifully landscaped homes sitting neatly in a row along a street that runs through the center of the village toward the local temple. The village people live under strict rules just like their ancestors centuries ago, and their architecture is a reflection of this tradition: the front side of the house faces Mt. Agung, home of the gods and each house has its own temple.
Through the years, Penglipuran Village has evolved into a community-based tourism destination. You can enter any of the houses where you’ll be welcomed by friendly residents who are typically willing to show you around their compound, each following old Balinese spatial and architectural rules.

Your first stop will be at the Bajra Sandhi Monument, which commemorates the Balinese struggle against Dutch colonialism. Designed in the shape of a Hindu bell, the monument contains dozens of detailed dioramas that depict Bali’s long history, including the introduction of Hinduism and the country’s eventual independence.

It’s a unique cultural immersion allowing you to gain an understanding of aboriginal ways of life that are still used today. Learn of their ceremonies, the sounds of the didgeridoo, of their art, weaving, hunting and gathering techniques, of the tools they use and even try your hand at spear throwing.
Following this cultural experience, make your way to Kakadu National Park
Covering more than 20,000 square kilometers, the park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The combination of mangrove fringed coastal areas, expansive flood plains, lowland hills, and open woodland and forest habitats, make Kakadu one of the most diverse landscapes you’ll ever experience. It’s home to a myriad of animals, hundreds of bird species and thousands of different insects and plants.
You’ll arrive at the Cooinda Lodge Hotel, a modest retreat within the park, where you can settle in before dinner at the hotel restaurant. The rest of the evening is yours to relax and enjoy the local surrounds. On site you will find a general store, a restaurant, bar, two swimming pools and a cultural center.
Your Yellow Water Villa (similar to a safari-style tent) is nestled deep within the World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park and situated on the edge of the renowned Yellow Water Billabong.

Continue to Ubirr, where you’ll climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries, believed to be 20,000 years old, to the lookout for a spectacular view over the surrounding wetlands. You’ll be mesmerized as you wander around the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock art site. It has provided shelter to the indigenous people for many thousands of years, and while taking shelter, the rock evolved into a canvas that illustrates the traditional owner's very deep spiritual culture.
Throughout your Kakadu visit, you’ll have the opportunity to see many different forms of Aboriginal rock art paintings. The Bininj people are the traditional custodians of Kakadu and now you’ll visit the Warradjan Cultural Center where you will be introduced to their way of life.

Next, you’ll venture down the road stopping at Leliyn (Edith Falls).

If you’re not up for a swim, you can at least sit at the water’s edge and dip your legs in the natural pool to cool off.
Next, you’ll make your way to Katherine Gorge where you’ll check into Cicada Lodge, located right in Nitmiluk National Park. Relax and enjoy the native bushland before dinner is served in the hotel restaurant.

While snorkeling, don't forget to keep an eye out for the elusive batfish, gracefully gliding among the coral formations.
Proceed to a second spectacular location teeming with marine life where you can continue your snorkeling adventure or simply relax and take in the stunning surroundings. Be sure to keep an eye out for colorful fish, graceful rays, and perhaps even a curious turtle. Throughout the day, the crew will offer informative talks about the reef, enhancing your experience.
