    Today Kakadu National Park is yours to explore at your own pace. There's an option to take a scenic flight over the Northern Territory if you want to see the landscape from above, or you can spend time on the ground checking things out on your own.

    · May 13th, 2023
    This tour was excellent. The skipper and crew worked seamlessly through some rough weather to ensure we had the best opportunity to view the reef with comfortable, clean, and safe accomodations onboard. Exceeded all of my expectations, particularly the chance to discover dive with Christine and the delicious food prepared by Zoe and Joost, who also kept us entertained with his fantastic music selection between dives. Good vibes from everyone working with us really made the trip special!
