2.00Booked in for a Gunlom Falls tour but due to the massive floods earlier in the year the tour had to be re-routed. Before I continue my review I will say that any tour you go on especially when it relies on mother nature you can have issues. We turned up at the requested time but we didn’t end up leaving till 30 minutes after that. We were given two options to where the tour could go due to the falls being unable to visit - a crazy thing to do as it leaves it to the people on the tour to decide. Silly because what if some poet want to do one thing and others want to do the opposite? We left to do some ‘Scenic’ options but was bitterly disappointed. First location was a fairly dry riverbed. Our guide was knowledgeable however bordering on being a bit too controversial in his views and opinions on certain subjects. We then visited a few more locations and had a stop to eat scones but that dragged on for far too long. Was left just standing around waiting and waiting till we could board the truck to see more. The tour was scheduled to be back at Cooinda Lodge at 1pm however it wasn’t till 2.30’ish till we arrived. Thankfully we didn’t have a tour planned for the afternoon but if we did we certainly would’ve been annoyed. We were still annoyed as we did want to see some things but were limited. I get it that Mother Nature can change plans but have a proper plan in place, stick to a schedule and plan things better.
Definitely worthwhile

5.00Highly recommended. The whole six hours was fascinating. We experienced everything from a lookout across the vast country to swimming in a secluded water hole filled by a spring-fed waterfall to walking a sandy riverbed. Our guide Glenn and his assistant Zoe were very informative and friendly, and obviously have a deep empathy and connection to Kakadu and its indigenous heritage. The variety of vegetation that we passed during the drive from stop to stop was clearly described and explained by Glenn as was the history and prehistory of Kakadu and its indigenous population. The four-wheel-drive bus was comfortable (air-conditioning) and the scones with jam and cream were delicious!
Great experience!

5.00We had a fantastic day out on the Kakadu Adventure Tour! Glen was a great guide, he was like an old friend who had lived in Kakadu many years and was full of interesting information about the history and the area and the indigenous people and their culture. The visits to the swimming holes were beautiful and refreshing in the heat- since we didn’t have a 4 wheel drive it was the only way to get there. We learnt a lot about Kakadu listening to Glen talking about the country he is obviously very passionate about. Beautiful buffet lunch to finish the day. Be prepared for some bumpy driving and walking over rocks and you will have a great day trip!
Not very adventurous Adventure Tour

3.00Our tour guide Jessica was wonderful but didn’t really think we saw much of the park with only two stops. May have been our error, but assumed we would see more of the sites in the park.
Excellent Adventure

1.00We have already booked this tour in February 2025 for May 11. With this organizer will be charged immediately and there is no possibility of cancellation. Now this tour was cancelled due to too many crocos in the np, by the organizer. The money was charged back but 50 € less, because it was charged over dollars, and which is now worth less. Get away from this organizer and tours that are immediately payable. We feel so betrayed. Pay for nothing.
Our tour guide Taylah was fantastic and her driving and commentary was amazing and informative

Wondrous Walk on Country

5.00An absolutely magic experience with the fabulous Jess who had hosted us on a Yellow Water Cruise the day before. Walking along a presently dry creek bed and discovering the natural surroundings while experiencing the peace was a treat for the senses and comfort for the soul. Then on to lower Ikoymarrwa Rock Hole to experience the beauty of the waterfall and the rock pool and for a heavenly dip if you felt so inclined. A wondrous 5 hours spent on country. Gamuk to Jess and Megan. Boh Boh. 🙏

5.00This was a great trip in a small group. Don was a very passionated guide and did a very good job. All stops were well selected and we got a nice insight into the Kakadu National Park. We fully recommend that tour!

5.00Don was a fabulous guide. His knowledge about animals, birds and plants was incredible and we were lucky to have an expert guide for the day. We visited quite late in the dry season and so having Don share his knowledge on all aspects of the native plants and snd animals was so helpful in the very dry conditions. We saw many beautiful waterfalls and creeks and completed some easy walks. We finished the day beside a billabong, watching birds and animals (including a croc) go about their evening business. It was superb. Big thanks to Don!
