Great tour with fun guide

Had a lot of fun days in Kakadu and Litchfield with Tour operator Rick. Was a nice guy who could tell nicely and knew a lot about the area. Many animals and beautiful nature seen! Because of the wet season not everything was open but that didn't spoil the fun. The campsites were good where both nights we slept in a big tent on a bed. The campsites were equipped with everything, kitchen, toilet block and swimming pool. Have had a great time!

A wonder-filled experience

Our Tour Guide, Rhett, was simply outstanding. It was soon clear that he had a passion for his job! His knowledge was remarkable. We all learnt so much. He was also very supportive and caring. And great fun🙂! It was a very positive and enjoyable experience. My only recommendation is to provide more protein for breakfast and less sugary snacks.

Great 3-day experience

Great 3-day tour covering the highlights of Kakadu and Litchfield. The tour was well designed with driving, swimming, cruising, eating and hiking well planned. Rhett was very informative and entertaining.

Great Guide, tour & locations. But be prepared for the basic accommodation.

Rhett our guide/driver/chef/singer was excellent, he did everything he could to make our trip memorable. He was a wealth of knowledge about the places we went to and worked hard to keep us entertained and well fed. Kakadu and Litchfield are amazing places, loved seeing the big Crocs on the billabong cruise, the rock art at Ubirr and the beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes. The first night accommodation is VERY Basic, it definitely needs some attention, 2nd night is more what we expected.

Great trip to Kakadu National Park

Did the 3-day Kakadu Tour and had an amazing time with our group and tour guide Rhett! Even though we had an engine failure on the first day, he still managed to get us to all the planned spots with plenty of time. The food was great, and we enjoyed a campfire with music in the evenings. Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend

Had the best time on my Kakadu/Leitchfield tour. Rhett, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant, and entertained us with detailed knowledge of the region, his great sense of humour, his passion for his job and his gift of the gab. The food and lodgings were top notch and we went to the best swimming spots and had so much fun. Highly recommend!

Amazing spots, and best tour guide

I had an amazing time on this trip. Especially our tour guide Rhett was amazing. He was very easy-going, and gave us the best stories about history, the sky, view points and how he learned to play songs on the guitar (that night around the camp fire was one of my faves). I also recommend as a solo traveller. There is a bit of a tougher hike on the second day, that I enjoyed. Everyone was able to do it at their own pace which was appreciated. Cheers!

A Kakadu and Litchfield adventure packed tour

A fabulous tour with so much packed into the 3 days. Our tour guide Rhett expertly guided us to some amazing places and shared great knowledge of the sites through excellent and immersive storytelling. Our overnight camping experience had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable but traditional bush camp experience with the added luxury of hot showers. A great mix of adventure, culture, walking and swimming in these two stunning National Parks We had a blast!
