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
5 Day Kakadu tour with Anna Teneggi - One of the best tours I have ever done: Amazing scenery, activity packed days, plenty of yummy food, good transportation and the best tour guide (Anna) I have ever had. Very highly recommended
