What people love about Kakadu National Park Tours for Seniors
- 4 Day Kakadu & Katherine Gorge Cultural Experience (Accommodated)
Awesome tour! Ben, our tour guide is very informative and gave us so much great info about NT and the Aboriginal culture. He was also very helpful with some of the harder hikes! Locations were amazing and we got a lot of wonderful memories.

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
