The boat trip surpassed our expectations very exillerating and again informative even though the weather was against us it was an experience to live long in our memories. Bus was quite cold on the journey back but I think that was probably because we were so cold after the boat trip. Blueberry muffin was lovely and the fish and chips excellent. All the staff we encountered were very professional and friendly”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 101 reviews · from $168

Review of the Kakadu day tour from Darwin, with Ubirr rock art, crocodiles, Fogg Dam, optional cruise, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“It‘s a long drive from Darwin to see rock art and - if you‘re lucky - crocodiles. Our guide Boggie was very knowing of the history and the nature of the land. Lots of birds to discover. The group was small, so was the bus. Seating was tight, no overhead storage. The trip to beautiful Kakadu was worthwhile.”
