Dinner under the Milky Way

Kakadu National Park: Updated list of sites open and reopening to visitors

In response to the continually evolving COVID-19 situation, Parks Australia has made the decision to postpone this year’s Taste of Kakadu festival. Taste of Kakadu was due to be held at Kakadu National Park from 22-31 May 2020. A full refund will be provided on all tickets purchased for this event.

At this stage there is no re-scheduled dates for the festival. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 response when considering options for rescheduling the festival, whether that be later this year or in 2021.

Thank you for your understanding.

Enjoy an evening of Kakadu-inspired food and a beverage package at a one-of-a-kind event at Cooinda Airstrip.

This unique experience presents stargazing from a Kakadu Bininj perspective. The skies are rich in Aboriginal folklore, and traditional owners will be in attendance to share their interpretations of the stars above.

Hear Kakadu stories passed down the generations and other stories from around Australia that interweave the rich tapestry of Aboriginal night-time mythology.

Meanwhile you’ll enjoy a delectable menu prepared by Cooinda Lodge’s head chef.
