The best.
Hubby & I had an amazing 4 days & 3 nights. Scotty our guide took us to Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield. Which was fantastic, he is knowledgeable, passionate & never boring. We learned so many things about the indigenous culture. We would definitely recommend doing his private tours, he is so much more than a guide. His lovely lady, Bec’s also does tours. A beautiful couple. We would certainly use them again. Highly recommend.

A great day
We stayed at the Fogg Dam to enjoy the morning mood with birds singing, seeing buffaloes and Wallabies, had a flight from Jabiru over this wonderful landscape. In Ubirr we admired the rock paintings by the Aboriginal and on East Alligator River we saw so many crocodiles as never before. Becs was a wonderful guide. She knows so many details about the animals and plants. Moreover she has a joyful and friendly spirit. On top of everything we had lots of fun.
THANK YOU BECS!!!

Amazing Day with Elliott to see Gunlom Falls and Nourlangie
We were picked up from our accommodation in Jabiru in a spacious 16-seater truck/bus for a fully private and customisable tour. We chose to head off-road to explore Gunlom Falls, which had only just reopened after being closed for six years!
After spending a few hours soaking in the natural pools and taking in the breathtaking views at Gunlom, we decided to visit Nourlangie to experience the incredible rock art and cultural history. It might sound odd, but we ended our unforgettable day with a visit to the Jabiru tip - where we spotted a few dingos roaming around!
Our tour guide Elliott was super friendly and made us feel really comfortable. He did an amazing job, his wealth of knowledge and stories really brought the day to life.
