Taste of Kakadu 2025

Karrimanjbekkan An-me Kakadu - Taste of Kakadu returns from 23 to 25 May 2025.

A food and Culture festival 65,000 years in the making with a sensational program set to immerse visitors in a stimulating journey of the senses.

Your first stop is the Bowali visitor centre, transformed into a Festival Hub packed with entertainment. Here you can explore a variety of arts and crafts stalls, snap a photo with a native Kakadu reptile, enjoy a refreshing drink or snack and unwind as TEABBA Radio broadcasts live to the Top End.

When you are ready, head off to explore more of Kakadu National Park. We have exclusive experiences created just for Taste of Kakadu – from guided walks featuring historic rock art and breathtaking Country to relaxing cruises through pristine wetlands.

Here’s what some of our previous visitors had to say

Garry norris testimonial.

Watching the sun set over Yellow Water Billabong, eating canapes inspired by native food (thanks Kakadu Kitchen) while a didgeridoo plays softly in the background. Truly unforgettable.

Taste of Kakadu was an amazing experience and I’m so thankful I could be a part of it today. The Traditional Owners of this land are gracious hosts. Thank you for having us.

Andrea testimonial.

These are the sort of events we search out as often as we possibly can, as the experiences and learning opportunities are so rich and multi-layered. Today was definitely a highlight of our time here.
