Perfect option for cruisers with a few hours

Lori_S, Oct 2025
We were blessed with both Jake and Ben and a beautiful day of flying. They delayed just a bit, with our permission, to get the best conditions. We heard about the local area in terms of landscapes, history and weather. And saw the kakadua and the mine and lots of rivers. No Crocs today but sounds like that could also happen. Thumbs up for a great way to see the lay of the land on a right time frame.

Hi Victor, Thank you for taking the time to review our Kakadu, Adelaide & Mary River scenic flight tour. We are very glad to hear you had an amazing time and Matt was able to pass on his knowledge to you. Kind regards, Chelcie.

The escarpment was spectacular and the only way to truly appreciate it was by air.

It was OK disappointing to scoot back high above the clo I d's,surely a loop home would have added to sight seeing adventure

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Hi Judy, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with some feedback. Were disappointed with the low rating. Unfortunately with the weather we experience over the wet season, at times we elect to fly up higher in order to provide more comfort for our passengers allowing cooler air and less turbulence. Apart from this we hope you had an enjoyable flight. Thanks, The JFC team

Fly over Kakadu

Vicky_Q, Jul 2022
The whole experience was fantastic. Our pilot Bailey was friendly and professional. The views over Kakadu were well worth the cost which I thought was reasonable and value for money. Would totally recommend especially if you are time poor.

Excellent Kakadu scenic flight

Neal_R, Mar 2021
The entire flight was excellent, our pilot Daniel was really helpful and provided good information and photo opportunities. This is a great way to see many parts of Kakadu that would be hard to get to by road. Would highly recommend this scenic flight to anyone.
