Really nice and enjoyable trip with a lovely group and a really good guide Aussie Tim with great knowledge about environment and wildlife.
This tour is highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Australian wilderness, away from the usual touristy day trips. Everything was very well organized and we saw amazing places. Our guide, Aussie Tim, was fantastic, not only at explaining so many interesting things about what we saw, but also at helping everyone get to know each other and come together as a group. Part of the tour involves travelling by bus, but it’s also nice to just sit back, relax, and watch the beautiful scenery go by outside the window. Plus, Tim is a great driver and has an awesome music playlist! Thanks to Tim, even preparing meals together at the campsite became a fun part of the experience. And the pasta Bolognese he made was good even by Italian standards 😆! Highly recommended!
Gave trip. Excellent guide with Ozzie Tim. Great story teller and good guy to bind a group
Really enjoyed this three-day tour of Kakadu and Litchfield. The landscapes were amazing, and we had a great mix of hikes, swimming spots and wildlife, including plenty of crocodiles! I was travelling solo and it was a great experience, getting to know everyone in the group, who all had different backgrounds and stories to tell. We had a really fun and friendly group, and our guide, Aussie Tim, did a great job of bringing everyone together. He was also very knowledgeable about the parks and wildlife, and kept us entertained with plenty of funny stories along the way. He was always happy to answer questions and was very attentive to what the group wanted and needed. Definitely recommend this tour if you want to explore Kakadu and Litchfield without rushing :)
This tour was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Aussie Tim (aka Crocodile Timdee) was our guide and he was brilliant! Really friendly, knowledgeable, and made us all feel really comfortable during our trip. His knowledge in particular of Kakadu’s indigenous cultural history and its flora and fauna was so fascinating to learn about. The food provided was exceptional, and they did a great job catering to all with different dietary requirements. I would 100% recommend!
This is a really great option to experience Kakadu and Litchfield Maps without the feeling of rushing and cramming. The three day tour is great opportunity to see both in a more relaxed and thorough way. The natural landscapes, vantage points, swimming lagoons and hikes are well worth it. So much wildlife to see too. So many different types of birds, and of course crocodiles! The small group option was excellent. We had 9 people which was just right, all of which had unique backgrounds and made conversations very interesting. Our tour guide, Aussie Tim, was an absolute legend. He mixed intricate subject knowledge of the National Parks and wildlife with unique and humorous Australian stories and anecdotes. Watching Crocodile Dundee the movie is recommended pre-departure homework. All in all, 10/10.

This was a fantastic way to experience the Australian outback for the first time. It was great to travel with a group (we met some lovely people) with everyone pitching in at camp. Tents were basic but perfect for requirements. I would recommend a sleeping bag overnight if you are traveling in August as it was a bit chilly! The trip was well organised, days were well planned and our guide Charlotte was lovely; very knowledgable about the area and gave us some great tips for the rest of our journey. We particularly loved the waterhole swimming. I would definitely recommend this trip/autopia.

Your tip about bringing a sleeping bag for August is very helpful for future travelers. We're glad that the trip was well organized and that Charlotte’s knowledgeable guidance enhanced your journey, especially during the waterhole swimming - a truly memorable highlight. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon!
The tour was great way to take a quick guided outback experience through the most popular areas and tourist spots for swimming and view in Kakadu. The distances are vast and our guide (Boggie) had good knowledge and kept us all entertained and on schedule each day to see wildlife and beautiful sunsets. Sleeping in swags under the stars was all part of the adventure. Highly recommend this trip for a quick glimpse of the region.
