Very well organised trip around Kakadu, Katherine, Litchfield areas. Less walking than I’d thought there might be but I was quite relieved as I’d underestimated the effect of the heat (top tip-if you’re coming from the northern hemisphere sip on rehydration salts during the day to compensate for salt loss as well as carrying at least 2-3l of water with you each day-I used platypus water bladders). The highlight was a trip to Gumbalanya rock art site near Jabiru guided by local community leader Sean who gave such a wonderful insight into his history and traditions, it was a real privilige to be there.

Lauren was a delight to have as a leader. She was very approachable. Her enthusiasm was catching, and I think we had the added bonus of her being very knowledgeable about bird-watching, and she passed around several awesome photos of various different birds, as she took photos throughout the trip.

Well organised and faultless tour guides. Plenty of time to swim and hike, catering for all abilities. Also time to chill out at the end of the day. Note the website describes the length of the hikes/driving to be longer. Still plenty for the hiking enthusiast, but less demanding than expected.

What an amazing trip! Thankyou to our guides, Sean & Miguel, for taking us to some fabulous spots in the NT! Morning hikes to centuries old rock art, lunchtime picnics by billabongs, afternoon dips in pools & waterfalls, evening sunsets and group fun! Wildlife, scenery, history, local knowledge, cultural info, touring this stunning part of Australia. Would definitely recommend this tour.
