Great experience at Burrungkuy seeing rock art with very knowledgeable and interesting guide. A very long day on the bus and limited access within Kakadu due to the time of the year - I would come again but a few months later in the year.

Albeit that we stood on the roadside for 1.5. Hours due to a shredded tyre that had to be replaced. The only thing we saw at Kakadu was some rock art, no water/waterfalls, not what we expected. Over 6 hours on a bus - just not worth it in our opinion.

Our tour guide Dani was an amazing wealth of information, her knowledge of country and culture and willingness to share made it a most memorable day out at Kakadu.

Our tour guide Dani was awesome, right from getting on the bus made us feel welcome and prepared us for the day. Dani’s knowledge was amazing as we explored Kakadu and particularly the 1.5 hour hike to see the aboriginal art work and wonders of the environment. She made the trip so enjoyable the whole day.

This was a very long day but well worth the trip. We believe that due to the weather , the trip may have been changed from ubirr Rock and cahills crossing, which was disappointing. Emily and Darrel did a great job taking us around with interesting facts of the scenery as we drove out. The jumping crocodiles are fantastic, but we had already done Fog Damn on a previous trip, so we went with the jumping crocodile cruise. Once that was over, we drove out to Kakadu. The long drives are broken up by stopping at the corroboree pub to buy sandwichs for lunch and then stopping at an art gallery in Jaibru to eat lunch. Then, to nourlangie for the walk around the rock art where Emily explained through the different drawings.
Our biggest problem was in the afternoon. The long day meant we didn't leave Kakadu until late afternoon, and unfortunately, there was a very bad accident on the Arnhem highway, our only way back to Darwin. We had to detour back to Jaibru for 30 minutes before the call came through that the highway would be closed for the night. Unfortunately for Emily, it meant driving the 6-hour detour through Pine Creek back into Darwin. Circumstances that weren't anyone's fault, but it did make a longer day even more difficult.

This was a long day, but totally worth it.
Unfortunately I had to make a call to Autopia when 15 minutes after our stated pick up time, we were still waiting at our accomodation to be picked up. I had booked after hours the previous day and was assured by another guide on a tour we were on at the time that it would be fine to make the late booking and we would definitely be picked up as the manifest is printed off on the morning of each tour. They had also said they would leave a note for the guide, which didn’t happen.
We were picked up shortly after the call I made, and on our way, so all good. I would rate the day a 5 if it hadn’t been for that small hiccup.
Our guide Tim was professional, but easy going and lots of fun. He complimented the day with a cracking playlist of songs from local artists which was really special. Great commentary, a good sense of adventure and importantly a sense of humour!
We did the croc cruise (for the second time, as we also did it on our Litchfield tour) and it was probably even more enjoyable second time as we weren’t so desperate to photograph everything. It really is a must do!
Kakadu was spectacular, the scenery, the sounds, the walk, the rock painting and the stories - all so special. Would love to return to Kakadu on a multi day trip in the future.
Definitely do this trip if you only have a day, but if you have more time, it would be worth dedicating some of it to this magical place.

We had an incredible day out to Kakadu with Becks as our guide. She was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained with fun facts on our long drive to the National Park. The rock art and scenery at Kakadu is breath-taking and well worth the long day tour. We didn't opt for the croc cruise but luckily we saw a crocodile (plus birdlife) in the wild at Fogg Dam while the rest of the group went on the cruise. It was like our own private safari!

Emily was a 1st rate guide! She had to speak & drive a huge van at the same time. She was extremely knowledgeable about everything from wildlife to politics of the national park to Aboriginal culture.
