5.00We knew it would be a long day, but well worth it. Mel was a wonderful guide , and gave us a lot of interesting information on the coach. The stop at Edith Falls for a fabulous swim was great, then of course the gorge was spectacular. We stopped off at a good outback pub for dinner on the way back, so with all the breaks, it was a comfortable trip . Would recommend this trip

5.00This trip is a must. What a terrific experience . A very long day; 6am -9pm but worth every minute to see the spectacular Katherine Gorge. Our AAT coach driver was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The coach was modern and comfortable. The day started with a stop at Adelaide River General Store for a coffee, then on to the Adelaide War Memorial Cemetery which is a beautiful memorial to the lives lost during the Bombing of Darwin. From here we visited the beautiful Edith Falls before travelling on to Katherine. The highlight of the day was the boat trip through Katherine Gorge which was absolutely spectacular. Buffet lunch at the Nitmiluk Tourist Information Centre was lovely. A stop at Adelaide River Hotel for dinner on the way home topped off the day. A great experience which I highly recommend.

5.00It is a big day but a great day. Katherine Gorge is stunning. The bus driver Kunch & the young local guide on the boat were very knowledgeable and great company for the awesome day out.

5.00A very long day but very interesting. Our guide Kunch was informative and an excellent driver. The bus was comfy, but would be better if people in front did not recline their seats. The War Cemetery at Adelaide River was a great stop to begin the day - beautifully cared for. Edith Falls was closed so we went to Katherine Hot Springs. Personally we thought the swimming stop could have been left out as more than half the group did not swim (not enough time) and it would allow more time at lunch and dinner. The trip down the Gorge was as expected - relaxing with great views around every corner. Overall an excellent day.
Fantastic tour to Katherine and Adelaide River
