What people love about Kakadu National Park Tours for Seniors
- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
All I can say is fantastic, fantastic, fantastic in all aspects. Annalise was wonderful, so enthusiastic, knowledgable and fun with our tour of Darwin. She thought of everything. I believe we could not have had a better guide and we were 9 very rowdy lively ladies on Annalise's tour. We all loved the girl and I think she deserves any reward she has a chance of receiving.
