Kubara Pools Walk

Highlights

The Kubara Pools Walk in Kakadu National Park is a hidden gem, offering a peaceful trek through savanna woodlands, sandstone landscapes, and rainforest. The 6-kilometre return trail is most popular during the wet season when the pools and waterfalls come alive with vibrant colours.

Fun fact: Depending on the season, you can see water lilies, orchids, and even bright red swamp bloodwoods along the trail. It’s a perfect spot for a picnic and some quiet time surrounded by nature.
