Incredible

Nadia_B, Apr 2024

Thank you for a truly memorable day trip. The river boat cruise and the rock art was amazing. Annie the driver was fantastic!

Must do in Darwin

Sasha_W, Apr 2024

The views were amazing, Kakadu is really special. Our tour guide Brooke was very kind! She was respectful and informative while showing and talking to us about the history behind the aboriginal art. We had time to explore some areas by ourselves for a bit which was nice. Lunch was yummy and the snacks throughout the day were good too. Bus was very comfy with perfect temp air con. I was in a group of 8 which was great and made it a very comfortable and personal tour. Would recommend for solo travellers. It is quite pricey but I think it’s worth it for the quality of the tour.

Nature and cultural experience

Karen_R, Apr 2024

Amazing aboriginal paintings, beautiful boat trip with ery funny guide Dennis. Our guide Annie was brilliant, so much knowledge about the culture of the area and about the natural environment. Lunch was great. Loved it!

Brief Introduction to Kakadu but Long Trip!

Helen_A, Apr 2024

This tour provided a brief introduction to Kakadu. Unfortunately, much of the tour is spent on the bus! The boat ride was fun - it had been hot & humid but then the heavens opened and we all got drenched! The tour seemed overpriced and did not even include the entrance fee to Kakadu.

expensive and disappointing.

Samantha_M, Mar 2024

My recent tour of Kakadu National Park was marred by underwhelming aspects, notably the $340 price tag and the uninspiring food. Despite the hefty cost, the culinary offering consisted of plain chicken and salad, a far cry from what one would expect for such an expense. While Kakadu's natural beauty remains captivating, the lackluster food and high price diminish the overall value of the experience. Consider other tour options offering better culinary experiences for a more enjoyable visit to Kakadu.

Professional and knowledgeable driver great guide for a perfect experience

Cynthia_P, Mar 2024

The walk to see the rock art was fascinating. The art itself was impressive and the area in which the art was found was very picturesque

A wonderful tour

JIE_W, Mar 2024

In the morning of March 23th, 2024, our tour guide picked up us in front of Double Tree Hotel. The girl is passionate and knowledgeable. The whole tour was thoughtful and enjoyable.

Spiritual experience

Rhonda_N, Mar 2024

The whole tour was very spiritual, my partner is indigenous from another state and was honoured to see and feel the history of his ancestors. The cruise was our favourite as it was beautiful, peaceful and the guide was awesome

A long but informative and interesting day.

Joanne_S, Nov 2023

The Rock Art is fascinating ; the Arnhem Land aborigine stories and information was informative Spear making and throwing was impressive Our bus tour guide was efficient

Kakadon't miss out!

Chris_C, Oct 2023

A wonderful tour with the highlight being the river cruise with Tyrone. An invitation to step onto Arnhem Land was an unexpected privilege. Thank you and Bobo

Good but a short time in the park

Jessica_K, Oct 2023

Brooke our guide was excellent! Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and engaging for the entire day. Plenty of snacks throughout the day and a nice lunch were served and she made sure we had chances to fill up our water bottles at every stop. The tour itself was a long day which I expected. About 6 hours of driving round trip and the bus was quite small so my knees were digging into the seat in front of me the whole way. Honestly not a lot of time is spent in the park due to the time constraints. About an hour looking at the paintings and then an hour and a half for the cruise. The cruise was nice since we saw lots of crocs, but no other wildlife. This will do if you only have one day but really it's a lot of travel for not much time in the park. But great guide and well organized!

See Kakadu with Offroad Dreaming

Paul_B, Sep 2023

Offroad Dreaming offers a brilliant same-day tour to Kakadu, which I highly recommend. Mike was the most knowledgable guide, his time here in the NT and experience makes him a top tour guide. The coach was very comfortable, we were cool, well-fed and watered throughout the day. The walk to the Ubirr Rock Art was unforgettable, plus the climb to the top gave us a 360 degree view of the floodplain. The boat ride on the East Alligator river was another highly recommended experience, along with the opportunity to buy Indigenous art direct from the artist. Mike's interesting and factual commentary rounded out an exceptional day.

The friendly, helpful and...

maureen_d, Sep 2023

The friendly, helpful and informative guide. The wonderful wall paintings. I would thoroughly recommend this tour as it is well worth the money

Amazing kakadu

Barbara_K, Sep 2023

Amazing. Loved every moment of the tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable. Well worth the money. So different to other parks in area.

All good

Barbara_L, Sep 2023

All of them are good, but no need to pick up that early, enough time to enjoy all the sceneries. Times for morning tea and lunch were too long.

Loved It

Di_M, Sep 2023

Loved the whole experience. Brooke our driver was very informative and put on a great lunch. The only suggestions I would make is the bus could use some Curtains and USB ports.

A great introduction to the natural wonders of the Kakadu area

KuetQeun_H, Sep 2023

Very professionally conducted tour led by Mike who is most knowledgeable about the history and culture of the places visited. The lunch and snacks provided were good and sufficient for everyone.
