How to get there
Cape Don is situated on the most north west tip of Arnhem Land, Northern Territory and is the most western point of Garig Gunak Barlu National Park (incorporating the Cobourg Marine Park).
The only access is by light aircraft landing at the Cape Don all weather airstrip. Our package tours incorporate the air transfer from Darwin return in comfortable aircraft taking approximately 45 minutes, flying over some of Australia's most spectacular coastal areas.
The flights are scheduled to leave at 3:30pm which allows for all connections from domestic flights into Darwin from southern States. This enables our guest to arrive at Cape Don on the same day as departing other Capital cities of Australia.
Upon return, the scheduled flight departure time is 4:30pm arriving in Darwin by 530pm. This allows our guests time to fish and explore the area on their last day as well.
