<p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 21px; margin-bottom: 5px;">If you&rsquo;re not a resident of the Northern Territory, then yes, you will need to obtain a Parks Pass before visiting Kakadu National Park. You can <strong><a href="https://nt.gov.au/parks/parks-pass" target="_blank">purchase your Parks Pass online</a></strong> through the NT government website.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>We recommend spending at least 3-4 days to fully experience the park&rsquo;s highlights. However, even a day trip to Kakadu National Park promises all sorts of incredible sights and experiences.<br />

<p>While a 4WD is recommended for getting around the park&rsquo;s more remote areas, you definitely don&rsquo;t need one to explore the highlights.

&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kakadu is home to a diverse range of native wildlife. During your visit, you can expect to see all kinds of iconic Aussie critters, including crocodiles, kangaroos, wallabies, and hundreds of bird species.<br />
