Short flight over Kakadu and east alligator river
Fantastic experience - best way to see Kakadu from the air. Vincent our pilot was fantastic. Safe, informative and gave us a great tour. Well worth it.

A great experience
Our flight was to a major highlight of our trip to the Northern Territory. We flew from Cooinda, at relatively short notice - after chatting to the person at the Kakadu Air Desk, who turned out to be our pilot, Ben. The pre flight preparation was well organised with. everything to expect fully explained before we were driven to the airfield. The flight and the commentary helped us understand more about the ecosystems and indigenous communities who live on country as well as putting the vastness of this amazing area in perspective! He was also happy to answer our questions at the end of the flight, which was much appreciated. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

An Incredible Experience
I can't put into words just how great this experience was. Of course the scenery is the star of the show but the commentary from our pilot, Oliver, made it that much better. I'm looking forward to touring with them again soon!

Absolutely brilliant!
Everything to do with our recent 30 minute flight was amazing. The online booking was easy to follow, the staff were very friendly and professional and the facilities at the airport were very comfortable and enjoyable. All seats on the plane had great views, our pilot guide was very knowledgeable, and we felt safe in his capable hands. The price was brilliant and worth it for the experience. We would all definitely recommend this flight is a must for everyone who goes to Jabiru. Thank you to everyone at Kakadu Air Services, you're doing a wonderful job.
