<p style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 21px; margin-bottom: 5px;">If you&rsquo;re not a resident of the Northern Territory, then yes, you will need to obtain a Parks Pass before visiting Kakadu National Park.

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>We recommend spending at least 3-4 days to fully experience the park&rsquo;s highlights. However, even a day trip to Kakadu National Park promises all sorts of incredible sights and experiences.<br />
