It was great having a bus tour for the long trip to Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls. Comfortable bus. A stop in both directions was well timed. The boat trip through Katherine gorge was excellent with informative commentary on the gorge, Jawyon people, their culture and history, the geology and the wet and dry seasons in the gorge. I appreciated the opportunity to look at the rock paintings. The boat had good seating and fresh water which I needed. Edith Falls was a good stop with good facilities and I enjoyed the small cultural centre focused on Jawyon and Country. Learning about the return of the land to Jawyon and the lease back to government of the National Park was excellent. The driver's commentary gave lots of information on trees, birds, termites and other creatures. He spent a bit of time on crocodiles and attacks on people. Some of his comments on other drivers and people could have been more respectful. I am glad to have done the tour and seen this beautiful part of the Top End. Thank you.
Excellent on all points, guide Dylan was brilliant, informative and funny! Made a long day easy Congrats to Dylan
We had an amazing day exploring Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the gorge cruise was definitely the highlight of the trip. Our guides, Tim & Rob, were friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience enjoyable. It was a long day from Darwin, but completely worth it. We loved every moment and would highly recommend this tour!
Lee was our guide for the day. He did a fantastic job thanks for a great , he is very knowledgeable about the area. Yes it is a long day but you were made aware of this at time of booking. Edith falls was a very relaxing spot , water a bit fresh. At Katherine Gorge we had a local guide Russell he was very good .Katherine Gorge was just stunning. Would recommend this tour by Autopia Tours to anyone.
a lot of hours spent travelling to & from was a bit frustrating.. but the sites were good, our driver Leigh was great, he was entertaining, well read, very informative with historic elements related to the area.. and beyond.. during the drive he kept us entertianed with local stories and very patient considering his 17hr day.. The boat trip was a bit disappointing due to being cut short because of a broken access up stream... but great views..
Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s understandable that the long hours traveling to and from the sites can be tiring, but it’s great to hear that the sights themselves were worth it. Leigh sounds like a fantastic driver - entertaining, well-informed, and patient despite his long 17-hour day. It’s wonderful that he kept everyone engaged with stories and historical insights. Although the boat trip was cut short, it’s good to know you still enjoyed the views. We appreciate your honesty and hope that, despite the frustrations, the trip provided you with memorable moments.

It’s a very long day, but well worth the effort. Very good driver/guide gave us constant information and updates on what’s around us. I would certainly bring lunch and not depend on Adelaide Creek stop as food options very limited. Great days tour, led by and excellent guide

Our guide/driver was lovely but a bit loud. More for younger groups, not ours.
