We were looking for a hiking trip. I have noticed that you need to have a private vehicle. Do we hire a car and do this trip. How much is walking and how much is driving?

On Walk Kakadu National Park transport will be provided by private vehicle. You don't have to have your own car we arrange all transportation when not walking. This trip involves plenty of walking over varied terrain and is best suited to travellers with a good level of mobility. Good footwear, plus perhaps walking poles are recommended. Day 2: Total walking time is approximately 2-3 hours. Mamaluka wetlands walk is a Grade 2 (easy) walk of 3km, taking around 1.5 hours. The Ubirr walk is a Grade 2-3 (easy to moderate) 1km loop, taking around 1 hour to see the rock art sites and enjoy the views. The 250m climb to the lookout is steep.

This short break tour will be one of the highlights of our Australian adventure. Accommodations a transport were excellent. Our guide, Dave, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. His passion for Kangaroo Island was obvious with each stop. This tour has our highest recommendation.

Our guide and itinerary were very good, but accommodations were uneven with the Bealey Quarter Hotel, where the tour began and ended, having substandard accommodations and services.
