LookAbout Darwin, Wetlands & Wildlife Tour Premium - Máximo de 6 hóspedes

We spent the better part of a day with Geoff and about 70 species of birds. Took a private tour in the morning and the Humpty Doo tour in the evening. Geoff is an amazing birder- he would mention a prior sighting and magically that same bird would appear again! He’s knowledgeable and patient with newbies like me, and a lot of fun to be with. Oh, and the photos he took - gorgeous! We enjoyed our time so much we’re headed back for three more days with him. I can’t recommend LookAbout enough.

Geoff goes out of his way to make sure you not only see as much as possible; he also is a great wildlife photographer and sent us all pics he took with his camera. Excellent tour and excellent guide

Excellent tour if you want some insight into the history of Darwin and the wetlands was amazing! Saw many species of birds, crocodiles, wild black pigs, wallabies, turtles and a beautiful sunset. Dinner at the pub was great. All round a great experience. Thanks Geoff you love your job and it shows with your knowledge and enthusiasm!

Wow! If you REALLY want to see the TOP…. Geoff’s your man!! From the minute Geoff picked us up from the airport it was a very professional, educational and fun experience. We elected to do the personalised guided tour in his immaculately presented 4WD. Yes, every day Geoff had his vehicle, with vacuumed floors and windows sparkling, so we never missed a sighting. Our guide’s incredible knowledge of the bombing of Darwin and its war history, plus the devastation of cyclone Tracey and the rebuild of the city, was very impressive. Our visits to the museums and galleries reinforced this new found knowledge. When we hit the National Parks and waterways, Geoff’s in depth knowledge and photographic prowess of all that there is the discover and admire, came to the fore. He is passionate about ensuring that for every moment that you are with him, you are experiencing the best there is on offer. It was an absolute amazing week… we even had a “surprise” collection of fantastic photographs forwarded to us at the conclusion of our trip to just top it off!!!

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.
