    Tour guide was great - Boogie was friendly , very knowledgeable and provided good commentary during the trip. Katherine Gorge excursion was very well organised and cruise was an amazing way of exploring the Gorge . Would have been better if we were given the opportunity to swim at the Gorge lower pools.

    The trip felt rushed, literaly arrived and walked straight onto the boat. No time to check anything out at Katerine George. It was the same when we got back, ushered straight onto the bus and gone. Seats on the bus are tight without much leg room, nowhere to place your bag/backpack. Water supplied is tap water with a distinct chemical smell and tase to it.
