What people love about Kakadu National Park Tours for Seniors
- 4 Day Kakadu & Katherine Gorge Cultural Experience (Accommodated)
We made the Tour as a family of four (2 girls 8&10). The Tour offers a very good Mix of beautiful Landscapes, best swimming spots, hiking and culture. Matea our guide was excellent and did everything on his own, normally there should be 2 guides managing the Tour. Nevertheless Matea and the other participants made the Tour to something very special. Although the hiking to the swimming spots was sometimes challenging for the Kids (YouTube should be fit)
- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
I did the 5 day Kakadu tour with Anna Teneggi and she was the best tour guide I've ever travelled with. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area and she took excellent care of everyone. The tour was amazing with spectacular scenery everywhere we went. The campsite and bus were very comfortable and the food was excellent.
