Fantastic experience, great insight into indigenous culture , tour guides and coach drivers extremely well informed and attentive , a must experience for city people to be exposed to the indigenous culture in a shared environment
Great experience, learned a lot about the nature and the aboriginies.
A great way to see the Outback! My guide Trevor made the journey through Arnhem land very unique and educational - he tells great story!
Our trip was disrupted by early rains however AATKings were fabulous and quick to reorganise and give us a wonderful time, thank you very much. A quick and professional approach to changes necessary with the itinerary
A fascinating trip, fantastic scenery, and bird life. I saw enough enormous salt water crocodiles to last a good while. The second day traveling into Arnhem land with an indigenous guide was a great opportunity . I chose the middle accommodation option the Aurora Kakadu and this was a great place to stay, large comfortably furnished bungalow with a lovely pool and very good meals served in the restaurant.
terrific what was packed into 3 days - even a day in Arnhem Land - could never do that on our own
