5.00We had an incredible 3 days exploring Kakadu with Rhett as our guide. The Corroboree Billabong cruise with “Meatloaf” was a brilliant start, full of humour, knowledge, and amazing wildlife. When our vehicle broke down, Rhett and the team handled it so well that it became a silver lining, arriving at Cahills Crossing at the perfect time to see dozens of crocodiles at high tide. Highlights included Ubirr’s breathtaking rock art and landscapes, swimming at Jim Jim Falls, Maguk, and Gunlom Falls, and one special evening around the campfire with Rhett’s guitar and singalong. Meals were fresh and delicious, the safari tents were comfortable, and the small group atmosphere made the trip even better. Rhett’s knowledge, energy, and care went above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly memorable Kakadu experience.
Fabulous three day tour of Kakadu, a must do in the NT!

5.00Our guide Libbi was excellent, we really enjoyed our small group three day tour. Libbi was also our driver and everything went smoothly, she was very knowledgeable about the local Aboriginal culture and place names so we learnt a lot. The accommodation and meals were all very good. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a great experience of Kakadu!
Great trip

4.00Great trip, Rhett really is a fantastic guide- he could not have done more for the group, and his knowledge of the area and its culture is excellent. However, I do think it’s a real shame there was no interaction with any indigenous people at all, and would respectfully suggest you consider including a visit to one of the cultural centres or a meeting with an indigenous ranger to give guests a more rounded experience. Thank you
A great adventure 4wd experience.

5.00The gorges are amazing although quite a distance apart so a fair bit of driving. The forest at these sites was so peaceful and beautiful it was worth the drive. The camps were good, our tour guide Rhett made the camp at Mardukal a great night with singing, guitar and his story telling. Rhatt is a great tour guide keeping us on schedule and describing the walks so that we "people with more life experience" or older if you like, didn't feel pressured to do more than they felt comfortable with. Thanks to Rhett and the other people on the tour for making it a great experience.

5.00Fantastic tour with Rhett, a great guide and storyteller. The scenery and swimming holes were amazing! Good small group camping tour with a taste of 4WDing and rustic camping but not too far off the track that you have to 💩 in the bush.
Kakadu adventure was fantastic!

5.00Rhett at Teeritory expeditions was the best tour guide ever. The tour was so well organised from start to finish. Rhett looked after every fine detail from driving, cooking and he was the most amazing storyteller with a wide knowledge of culture, history and the area. His knowledge of the nature was so Informative that I learnt so much. The group was fun and friendly and the campfire experience was next level. Thank you so much Rhett and Territory expeditions for such a wonderful introduction to the beautiful Kakadu! We will be back!
Incredible experience

5.00We had a fantastic experience on this tour. The tour included all the amazing stops in Kakadu with some beautiful swimming holes, walks and even a crocodile cruise. There was a great mix of age groups in our tour. We found the camping facilities comfortable and well kitted out. There was a plentiful supply of food, snacks and icy water. While some of the walks were challenging, they were very manageable for all members of our group, and well worth the challenge for the beautiful views. Special mention to our guide Libby who was a wonderful host and gave us so much information about the areas we visited. This really added to our experience, especially our guided walk through ubirr.
Wonderful experience exploring Kakadu
