Hi-there-all

Excellent tour of Katherine Gorge, we did the 2 gorge tour as that was operating at this time of year in April 2024. The guide was excellent and very knowledgable. Worth doing and highly recommend.

The water falls were beautiful with a lot of water going through them. The tour guide was very informative and funny with a good knowledge of the places we visited. He also kept us inform about how long we will be driving to the next site. The tour bus was very comfortable. When the water is high, I would remove the hot spring from the itinerary since there is nothing to see.

Our guide Russell was very informative and engaging with some good humor thrown in as well. Our swim at the rock hole was amazing but unfortunately my husband (due to a legacy of football injuries) was unable to do the trek over the many rocks to the hole.
