★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 295 reviews · from $155Our pick

Review of the Kakadu Wildlife Escape from Darwin, with rock art, crocodiles, Fogg Dam, practical tips, costs, and honest advice.

“A fabulous day hosted safely and competently by Becs - with lots of great stories, facts and education along the way. Plenty of stops and educational breaks to split up the long trip. The rock-art must be seen up close to truly appreciate. Bianca helped for a short part of the trip but wasn’t as good as Becs.”

3.Kakadu National Park Wildlife & Ubirr Rock Art Tour from Darwin

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

Review of the Kakadu day tour from Darwin, with Ubirr rock art, crocodiles, wetlands, guide insights, costs, comfort, and practical tips.

“Very long day from Darwin but worth the visit even if only to have a very small Kakadu experience. The rock art was amazing and we did see some Crocs. Boggie was very knowledgeable and we had plenty of convenience and photo stops. Great day out. Unfortunately we missed out on a couple spots due to a significant elder funeral that day. It would have been nice to have been advised of this before the tour so we could have had the opportunity to consider cancelling or changing to another day.”

A practical review of Sydney’s private Blue Mountains tour, with koalas, bushwalks, waterfalls, sunset views, lunch, and dinner included.

“An amazing experience. We got to visit a small farm to get up close with a Koala. The tour guide told us about the history of Sydney and the Blue Mountains as we drove through. We got to go to 3 different locations, one included a long hike. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit the Blue Mountains.”

5.Darwin: Litchfield National Park Waterfalls & Wildlife Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 43 reviews · 10h 30m · from $113

Review of Darwin’s Litchfield National Park tour, with waterfalls, swimming holes, termite mounds, wildlife, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Highlight was the guide, Daryl! So much knowledge of NT, smooth journey, working aircon on bus, punctual to schedule and always making sure we were ok. The waterfalls were beautiful, and jumping crocs were worth paying to see! I changed my plan and the company had phoned me within an hour when I’d emailed - very impressed. I’m a solo traveller and it was mostly couples but had a blast. Would strongly recommend.”
