The staff on this trip were knowledgeable and you could tell they loved their job. Nothing was too difficult and they went out of their way to make sure you are ok as it gets very hot out there.
Make sure the coach...

Did this trip solo as here for work and was really impressed with the whole day. Our AAT guide and driver Mel was such a relaxed and friendly lady, very professional and made the trip easy. Stopped for a brief time at Edith Falls to cool off and had a lovely lunch at Katherine Gorge. The Gorge itself was fantastic. Peaceful and colourful. Our boat guide Landon? was super impressive with his knowledge and Dream Time stories. On the way home stopped at Adelaide River pub for a quick meal (extra cost) A fun atmospheric very Aussie pub. A big day but worth it.
Disappointing, but worthwhile

41deg & 85% humidity. An extremely average lunch, with insufficient quantities to cater for the number of travellers. A bloody long day! The bus and tour guide were great. The stop at Adelaide River thoroughly enjoyable and informative. The scenery at Katherine Gorge spectacular. With some tweaking, this would be a great trip. Just a pity that some minor hiccups detracted from the overall enjoyment
Long day

I have mixed feelings about this day and why I rated it 4 stars AAtKing was a great company. The bus was comfortable and had great AC. Their instructions and description was spot on. The tour was from 6:00am-9:00pm. We spent a short time at a War Cemetery. Was okay. We got an hour at the water hole to swim and loved that. Then 2 hour boat cruise. So a long day for 3 hours of fun. So keep that in mind. I feel bad saying this but our tour guide talked too much. I felt like silence made her uncomfortable. 2/3 into the day someone went to the front of the bus and asked her to turn down her mic so they could have quiet. After that it was better and got some great music the last hour home. She seemed a little grumpy but was a nice lady. So a long day. I am happy I saw it but was just an okay day. Nothing the tour group did just a long day for 3 hours which I knew about before I went, so I can not complain. All in all I am happy I went.
