    Review by Lesley Pring - Terrible experience travelling 10 driving hours on a mini bus where my knees touched the back of the seat in front - and I am short. My husband had to try to twist sideways to fit in. In addition, there was nowhere to store bags. These had to be placed on the floor at our feet, making it almost impossible to place our feet. People complain about cramped seats in economy on planes but this was so much worse than any plane I have ever been on. I ended up with shooting pains in my knees and legs. Edith Falls and Katherine Gorge were scenic and enjoyable but I would not advise anyone to take the trip on this sort of transport. We left our hotel at 6:30 am and were dropped back at 8:45 - a very long, uncomfortable day.

  • This trip was a very long...

    This trip was a very long day but with our driver, Bogdan, the time passed quickly. He was a great guide, teaching us about the flora and fauna, while being an excellent driver. The boat trip through the gorge was fascinating. The walk between boats would have been challenging for me, but the pathway was well designed with plenty of handrails and non-slip mats and I was able to keep up. The design fitted in well with the natural surroundings, which were pristine. The various stops along our drive were well organised and we enjoyed ourselves, learning so much .

  • Long day trip.

    It was a very long day, 14 hours. But the boat trip through the gorge was very special. Staff during the day were very knowledgeable and provided a lot of relevant information.

    A full day mini bus trip from Darwin to Katherine gorge and back was very enjoyable. Bus was full but still comfortable enough for all and Alex our driver was very informative whilst driving. We were given sufficient time at various stops to do our own thing. Katherine Gorge boat cruise was great our boat captain Holly ensured we knew as much as about the gorge as possible.
