An excellent trip, with stops and plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Katherine Gorge and the river cruise well worth the trip. Driver on time to pick us up and drop-off. A long day, but worth it all.

The wealth of local knowledge from the tour guide/driver was fascinating and entertaining and very well presented.
The natural beauty of Nitmiluk is awesome.
Recommend taking a dip at Leliyn, goggles a must to spot the different underwater wildlife.

The local knowledge from our tour guide and driver was truly fascinating, entertaining, and very well presented. The natural beauty of Nitmiluk is absolutely awe-inspiring. We highly recommend taking a dip at Leliyn—goggles are a must to spot the various underwater wildlife. It was an unforgettable experience!
This tour is definitely well worth doing. It is a long day but the beautiful Edith falls and the Katherine Gorge make it worth while. Our driver and tour guide Boggie made our day interesting and informative.

Boggie will be delighted to hear your feedback, and we’re happy he helped make your experience both interesting and informative. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
It is a long day. (14 hours) Be prepared for up to 8 hrs driving. But worth it! Our driver/guide Tom was informative, tireless, great sense of humour and really made the day entertaining instead of gruelling. Edith falls walk is 2km of track (return) with last 100m rock scramble. Stumble watch for those with limited agility!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like it was a long day, lasting about 14 hours, with up to 8 hours of driving, so being prepared is important. However, you mentioned it was definitely worth it!
We're glad to hear that Tom, your driver and guide, was so informative, tireless, and had a great sense of humor, making the day both entertaining and enjoyable rather than gruelling. The Edith Falls walk, with its 2 km track and last 100 meters of rock scramble, sounds like an adventure-stumble watch for those with limited agility is a helpful tip! Overall, it seems like a memorable and rewarding experience.
Tour guide shared the local history, environment, and culture, really enjoyed. Katherine Gorge cruise is fantastic.

Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback! It sounds like the bus trip was quite comfortable and well-organized, with plenty of stops to stretch and enjoy the scenery. Having water and an esky for food on board must have added to the convenience. Tim, your tour guide, seems to have made a wonderful impression with his knowledge, informativeness, and generous exploration time. Your high recommendation and praise for Tim reflect a fantastic tour experience. Hopefully, more travelers will be inspired to choose this tour for a similar enjoyable journey!
