Nourlangie (Burrungkuy) Tours and Tickets
Nourlangie, also known as Burrungkuy (sometimes written Burrunggui), is an escarpment in Kakadu National Park filled with over 20,000 years' worth of Aboriginal history, making it a site of extreme cultural importance. Burrungkuy, an Aboriginal word, refers to the higher parts of the rocks, while the word Anbangbang references the lower parts. The rock art and archaeological details here illustrate the social and environmental history of the Top End area.
There are many ways to experience the heritage of Nourlangie, including following the mile-long circuit trail that winds through what was once a home for the Aboriginal people during wet seasons. Indoors, the Anbangbang Gallery showcases the art of an Aboriginal artist who repainted his works in 1964 to restore much of their original vibrancy. Those who visit Nourlangie during the months of June through September can hear stories of the area's cultural significance from rangers in the area.

National Treasure
Tour guide Libby was an excellent guide, host and driver ensuring all her passengers were comfortable throughout the journey. We were reminded at every stop to top up water bottles to keep hydrated.
Hat, bush repellent and good walking shoes is essential.
It is a long day for this adventure however very worthwhile.
All should visit Kakadu to appreciate this amazing country and understand what we need to do better to preserve this National Treasure. Peter

Great but very full day out
Great day out though it is very long. There are a few ways to book this trip and the finer details vary depending on who you choose to book through. Viator indicates that you need to pay for a Parks Entry Pass and also pay for your own lunch - neither of these are correct - both are included.
If you get the opportunity and can afford it then take the scenic flight over Kakadu from Cooinda to Jabiru. Have fun and enjoy!

Amazing Kakadu
Long bus trip but worth it. Our driver/guide Mark made the travelling enjoyable by providing information/facts, chatting, telling jokes and providing a movie, Australia, on the return trip. The day ran to time, the rock art beautiful and easily accessible. Lunch excellent in comfortable surroundings. The cruise was great and our guide, Greg, very knowledgeable.
