    We had a fantastic experience touring with our group. Wonderfully led by our guide Toni, and always feeling safe with Ollie behind the wheel. Accommodation was great and some delightful meals along the way. Unforgettable memories of a beautiful part of our country. Highly recommend this trip

    Communication vis message system and telephone slow and ineffective. Demands that I have a COVID test less than 48 hours before the tour starts were contrary to NT government policy and caused great distress. This demand was totally unnecessary and didn't need to happen if tour organisers had done their homework. Only highlights were the Yellow River Billabong cruise and Katherine Gorge Dinner cruise. My dietary requirements were not communicated, causing significant distress and limited meal choices. Breakfast choices at Nitmiluk NP were a disgrace.

    The tour exceeded our expectations on all fronts except for the accommodation at Wildman Wilderness Lodge which was full of bugs and stifling hot at night. Most of the meals were excellent but a few lunches had mediocre sandwiches.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the trip! Meals could have been a lot better, particularly lunches- very poor.

    Asked on March 9th, 2022

    I'm trying to organise a trip for my Dad to do a 5 day tour to Kakadu, he is 60 years of age but is very fit and has no health issues. He would require a tent to himself as he does not wish to share accommodation. Im hoping to for a trip from the 15th of April onwards, however am flexible with dates as I've no frights booked yet. If you had any trips suitable that would be amazing.
