LookAbout Darwin, Wetlands & Wildlife Premium Tour - Max 6 Guests

We had some wonderful guides during our tours in the NT, but Geoff is at the top. My fairly shy 12 year old rated the Fogg Dam tour his favorite experience in Australia. We saw lots of birds, some sneaky crocs, and a mob of wallabies. All of that was followed by a nice pub dinner in Humpty Doo. It was the perfect end to our trip.

We did not book a tour with Lookabout Tours on our last trip to Darwin however we happened to run into Geoff on our self drive to Fogg Dam and even though we were not using his services in a paid capacity Geoff still took time out of his day to point to us some of the animals and birds that he managed to find. He didn't do this on one occasion he actually did it 4 different times including stopping his car to tell us where we should be looking for a Crocodile he had earlier found. I WILL book a tour with him next year on our return to Darwin.

This tour is the perfect introduction to Darwin and the Top End. It takes you to Fogg Dam and surrounds for bird watching. Geoff knows where to look and spot the tiniest of birds you never knew were there. And captures them close-up with a camera you can only dream of. Bigger birds and crocodiles are not ignored, either. He has a unique talent to engage all his guests and is happy to share his encyclopaedic knowledge of the birds as well as Darwin with them. The pace is leisurely to make the most of each bird spotting opportunity that presents itself. The lunch at Humpty Doo was a great end to the morning tour. I wish I had had the time to do the afternoon tour as well. Book early to avoid disappointment.

An extremely interesting informative tour. Geoff is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Darwin taking us to relevant sites in an outside Darwin City. We were driven in a very comfortable air conditioned mini bus to various wetland areas including Fogg Dam Conservation reserve where we had the opportunity to observe buffalo so many different species of birds an owl plus a few crocodiles! Close up through binoculars! On our return to Darwin we stopped for lunch at the famous Humpty Doo Hotel!😀 I would recommend this excursion.

We did the Lookabout Darwin Wetlands and Wildlife Premium Evening Tour in May, 2026. Geoff was our guide. It was definitely one of the best tours we had while in Australia. Geoff is an excellent guide, giving us details about the history of the area while traveling to our site. His knowledge of the wildlife was exceptional. He pointed out unique animals, described their biology, and got us in position to take great pictures. Even after dark, by chance we were able to see a couple snakes on the road, further enhancing our experience. We finished with a fun dinner at Humpty Doo Hotel, great food and very relaxing. Geoff even had dinner with all of us on the tour and we enjoyed even more wildlife and natural history discussions. If we ever get back to Darwin, we will definitely do the same tour with him.

This tour was the absolute highlight of our stay in Darwin! The tour guide, Geoff, was punctual and the transport was clean & comfortable. Geoff even had water and snacks for us as well as the binoculars and his super camera for close ups of the wildlife. As well as crocs in the wild, we also saw jabiru, 2 types of kingfisher, wild ducks, wrens water buffalo and wallabies. Geoff is highly knowledgeable and included a brief tour and history of Darwin in the trip. The Humpty Doo hotel is well worth the visit too - very much the outback pub with great food and friendly staff. I highly recommend this tour.

Geoff clearly knows a great deal about Darwin and its surrounding wetlands. With pick up drop off, comfortable van, he just keeps the interesting facts coming. He shows so much along the way with enthusiasm making this trip really interesting. Well worthwhile and pretty much essential if you want to get your mind around Darwin. Communication, follow up and willingness to help were faultless.

We spent an outstanding afternoon and evening with Geoff from LookAbout. The excursion covered a variety of sites in and around Darwin. Geoff is obviously quite knowledgeable about the history of Darwin and relayed many interesting facts which are probably not widely known. We were particularly interested in wildlife, so we visited several locations where we were able to get some fantastic photos. He is also an outstanding photographer and was very aware of lighting, and what direction and angles would give us the best photos. We finished the evening with dinner at a local pub, which had outstanding food. I totally recommend this excursion, more individuals, couples, and families. Booking was easy. Geoff was on time to pick us up and very professional. Highly recommended!

Our trip to the wetlands around Fogg Dam was truly enjoyable and memorable. Geoff, our guide/driver has such amazing knowledge of and passion for this stunning location. We never felt hurried and he went out of his way to show us so much, not wanting us to miss any wildlife opportunity. The sunset was very special as was the sleepy croc just by the side of the road. Dinner at Humpty Doo pub another highlight. Thank you Geoff so much for your patience, your friendship, your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience. An excellent value tour and one we would highly recommend. Janeece and Phil, Deb and Michael Tassie travellers
