Day 1 was disappointing but saved by us opting to pay 500 for a 50 minute flight over part of Kakadu - at least we could see some of the geological features. Our accommodation at the Mecure Crocodile Hotel was good as was the service and the restaurant. Day 2 was great as we went into Arnhem Land in a 4 wd bus - only 4 of us and a very good guide. At last we saw geological features from the ground with beautiful billabongs, a very interesting Aboriginal community Oenpelli and heaps of rock art. The flight on day 1 and day 2 made the trip worthwhile.

Wonderful 2 days in hot weather but plenty of cold water supplied. Aboriginal Art sites were a highlight as was the second day into Arnhem Land. Comfortable coach and 4 wheel drive for the second day. Highly recommended.

What we saw was fantastic, and so were the guides on each of the organised tours. The accommodation was sub-standard and pick-up/drop-off arrangements were badly organised and caused a lot of frustration. Overpriced. A detailed itinerary and list of inclusions is essential - this was not provided, causing further frustration.

Extremely informative and interesting. Great accommodation and brilliant tour guides; particularly Peter Love on the Kakadu tour. Very professional and unique with his dissemination of information and local knowledge. Coupled with that was his personality and ability to relate to all his passengers regardless of age. The four wheeled tour of Arnhem Land was also a truly unforgettable and spiritual experience and professionally conducted.

I can't say enough good things about AAT Kings tours. Drivers are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The Crocodile Hotel was interesting but their $65 dinner/breakfast special was not worth that much money. The guides on the boat tours did a very good job; they knew their flora and fauna on the South Alligator River cruise and did a wonderful job, especially the demonstration with the spears, on the East Alligator River (Arnhem Land Tour).

Wow - what an exhausting trip but well worth it. Our tour guide for the entire trip was Shaun and he was truly a wealth of knowledge. This is the only way to see Kakadu - what a wonderful learning experience
