I had a fantastic day with this company. I’ve never been in a small plane like that and I was a little nervous and the pilot made me feel very safe and comfortable. I also enjoyed the river cruise more than I thought. Great commentary and lots of wildlife! This trip made me want to return to Darwin.

This was a week’s worth of travel all done in one day. The views were amazing and the schedule was impressive. Matthew was pleasant and informative and extremely safety conscious. We loved the day and highly recommend anyone visiting Darwin should do it.

The trip was awesome and the Pilot Matthew was just the perfect Pilot with his knowledge and experience politeness. Experience of a life time for my husband and myself. Well done Matthew.

Wow, what an experience. In the air over Darwin to see the sun rise. A very knowledgable pilot and guide explaining what we were seeing from on high. Amazing views over this vast landscape. A helicopter ride over Katherine gorges, just incredible, then flown to Kakadu for a beautiful cruise on Yellow Waters, to discover incredible wildlife, with an expert guide. A very unique way to see this beautiful land.

Great pilots/hosts. Well worth the price. A great way to see some great attractions in a short time, but without feeling rushed.

The experience was absolutely amazing. Ryan our tour guide was one of the most friendly people we have encountered and definitely knew his facts about the area. We cannot compare this experience with anything else we have done whilst travelling. We have traveled to 6 different countries over the span of our 4 month holiday getaway and this was our highlight experience and was well worth the money! Being able to see so much in a short time was fantastic. Well done.

My original booking included a flight to Kakadu and a Yellow Waters cruise in that National Park. There was a bit of a mix up with that booking, but JFC Charters/Kookaburra Air did an excellent job of offering me alternative arraignments, so I confirmed this experience which included the flight to Katherine, and then I added to my original booking to include the helicopter tour over Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park as well. Though it involved a change in dates of my plans, and I upgraded to include the helicopter experience, I consider it a win-win remedy for both myself and the tour operator. My only advice here is to always contact the tour operators when booking through this site or others, just to confirm that everyone is on the same page. This is a tour operator that I would trust again based on how they handled that issue, and for the overall experience. Our pilots (Mx2) were professional, informative, and fun. We had an "extra" pilot for the bush plane because one of the M's was observing for doing the trip on future excursions, while the other bit our great M&M's was flying. I was traveling solo (from California) and there was a nice couple from Sydney along with us. (Who did freak me out a bit when they mentioned being in a plane crash in Kenya, due to some wildebeests on the runway when they landed. Our pilots Mx2 assured us that would not happen on this trip!) From take off just before sunrise in Darwin, seeing the sun come up over the NT while in flight, to each take off, landing, and each experience on the ground (and off the ground and back during the most excellent helicopter part of the tour experience) was great. Mx2 looked after us the entire way, and the entire experience was exciting, informative and fun. Not only a highlight of all my travels during my month Down Under, but a life travel highlight as well. Just do it! So cool. Such an amazing experience, with top-notch professionals along for the journey.

The tour was excellent! We had a great day with two very friendly pilots (Ryan and Matt) the info was fascinating and the sights were so cool. Flight to Katherine and Kakadu was nice and smooth too! What a great way to see the northern territory when you’re short on time.

My 10 year old son and I absolutely loved this experience. Our pilot for the day was Ryan, he was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He did everything he could to ensure we had the best day possible. Seeing the NT by air is truly amazing and gives you some understanding of its vastness. The chopper ride over Nitmiluk run by Helispirit was VERY exciting for my son. Pilot Callum was great and made the experience really fun for him. The yellow waters cruise was a highlight. Our guide Dennis, as a traditional owner, was a wealth of information about this beautiful part of the world as well as being very entertaining. Overall the experience was well worth it and something we will remember forever.
