We had an exceptional action packed 3 day tour with our wonderful, extremely knowledgable guide Aaron. His happy friendly demeanour and indigenous knowledge was fantastic. The tour to Kakadu and Litchfield National parks was more than we had expected with visits to the most amazing indigenous cultural sites. Aaron’s knowledge provided the background information needed to get the most out of those visits. We didn’t want the tour to end. We certainly can recommend this fantastic tour.

This is a proper camping adventure. Sleeping under the stars in swag bags,communal cooking, swimming in plunge pools under waterfalls, climbing hills to watch amazing sunsets. As well as the sort of attractions one won’t see outside of Australia - such as crocodiles, giant termite mounds and aboriginal rock art. And with an excellent guide in Tim who was attentive, relaxed and made us all feel like one big family
Response from Host, Jul 2025
That sounds like an incredible camping adventure! Sleeping under the stars in swag bags, enjoying communal cooking, swimming in plunge pools beneath waterfalls, and climbing hills to watch stunning sunsets-all classic experiences that create lasting memories. It’s also amazing that you got to see unique Australian attractions like crocodiles, giant termite mounds, and Aboriginal rock art, making the trip truly special. Having an excellent guide like Tim, who was attentive and relaxed, must have added to the sense of camaraderie and made everyone feel like one big family. Thanks for sharing this amazing journey! Cheers!
A great trip, with special thanks to our guide Dani who, when not rustling up delicious meals, shared with us her wealth of knowledge of indigenous culture.
Response from Host, May 2025
We're delighted to hear you had a great trip and that Dani made such a positive impression. Her delicious meals and deep knowledge of Indigenous culture truly make the experience special, and we’re so glad you enjoyed both. We’ll be sure to pass along your thanks, she’ll be thrilled to hear your feedback. We hope to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
Our guide Ethan was fab, knowledgeable, helpful and charismatic. We are glad we booked an organised trip to take you to the best sights and keep safe. It was early starts but we packed so much into 3 days with additional time to relax at base camp. Due to the time of year (the build up) we all had enough space in the tents and we had a friendly group who helped out across the chores. Great experience on billabongs, swimholes, waterfalls, rock art and cultural places. Fab times, thankyou.

Ethen was the best. Driver, Guide, Cook! Very friendly, helpful and good informed. I am limited. But he always find a way to help me or give me an alternativ.
The Trip was great. Everything I expectet to See- I sag. Crocodiles, Aborigines Paintings and waterfalls, Rainforest….
The tends are simple but sufficient.
I want to do it again.
We had a great time, especially thanks to our guide Daryl for his good humour and enthusiasm. The tour was well organised, we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel and the itinerary gave us chance to see lots of Kakadu. The camping was fun and the site had good showers and a pool. There’s a fair amount of driving over the 3 days but that’s hard to avoid given Kakadu is so big!
Ethan the tourist guy and the French chef at the camp site are awesome! We had a good time with a group of lovely people.
Tom was a great tour guide. With his cheerful manner, he gets the participants involved. Always ready for a chat, he lightens the mood.
I really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it. The days are very entertaining and you can collect lots of great impressions.
Well done, thank you.
Our Tour Director was amazing, Becs was over and above to make our trip successful, and it was fantastic. We saw more animals than any other tour she has taken, I can’t even count how many different species we saw. The locations on the tour were exceptional and never ceased to amaze us all. Becs was always accomodating and Happy making sure we were all taken care of. Thank you Becs! 🥰
Great tour. We had 8 people on our tour and by the end we all felt like extended family. The activities were all I had anticipated when I booked the tour. Lots of walks and swimming in amazing pools and waterfalls. Tom was a great guide - fun, helpful and a wealth of information.
We spent amazing 3 days in Kakadu National Park. Both of our tour guides, Tim and Darrell, were excellent, and very kind. They shared a lot of stories and information about the attractions, and we had enough time to check and enjoy every spots. The campsite was well-equipped, it was perfect for a 2-night-stand. We highly recommend this tour if you travel to Darwin.

We have just returned to Darwin after 3 amazing days on this tour. Daryl, our driver and tour leader, was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and went out of his way to make our experience the best it could be.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and there were members of the team helping to prepare the meals. The accommodation was better than we were expecting and you can even charge your phone!
The waterfall swimming was the highlight of the trip but there were so many things that you will remember.
The group ranged from late teens to mid 60’s and gelled really well, making the whole trip so much more enjoyable.
If you are thinking about going but are not sure we would definitely recommend it.

I've just finkshed my tour. My guide was Elliot and he made sure we were safe but still able to experience all the best that the NT has to offer. If a location was not accessible he found incredible alternatives. He ran a tight ship and we were always on time. So it was the perfect balance of fun and efficiency. Elliot is also an incredible source of knowledge and in everything he does, it is clear the love and passiom he has for this land and he wants to give the customer the most authentic experience. He even curated the playlist so that we could learn more about Aboriginal and local music.
I am Vegan and the catering was sensational. There was an alternative for me for everything. I was thorougjly impressed of the care that the company has poured on this trip.
The landscape and the wildlife is spectacular. Loved every minute of thid trip.

5 stars was amazing! My guide Becs was very knowledgeable. She catered to my gluten-free diet, the food was lovely.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for our 3 Day Kakadu and Litchfield Tour!
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time on tour with Becs :)

It was really great! Our guide Aaron was super friendly and we had fresh, healthy food at all times. The national parks are absolutely worth seeing, but you have to be prepared to sit in Van a lot. Personally, I didn’t find Litchfield National Park as impressive as Kakadu National Park, as it’s almost all about waterfalls for swimming.

It was a journey in a harsh environment beyond my wildest dreams, but thanks to the kindness of my guide and tour mates I was able to complete it. It was an experience I will always remember. I think you need a certain amount of sociability and openness in a good way when you participate.
