Kakadu & Tiwi Islands Explorer Reviews

Loved the boat trip through the wetlands and also seeing the crocodiles (but they were not actually in Kakadu). The accommodation in Kakadu at the Crocodile hotel was average and the food expensive. $5 for a cup of coffee was outrageous. The flight trip over Kakadu was wonderful - but this was an add on. The tour guides were OK. But disappointed in ...read more some lack of knowledge. e.g. we were led to believe that Aborigines still live in Kakadu and when asked how come we didn't see any - nor any evidence as we flew over - we were told that they were there and could see us but obviously were hiding. This is untrue, as they tend to live in Arnhem Land.

For a 'shutter bug' there was no lack of subject matter to photograph!

Thank you for a very pleasant tour. We particularly enjoyed the Kakadu part of the trip, especially spending time with an aboriginal guide. He showed us many interesting things as well as revealing something of his delightful personality and his artistic talents. The driver and guide were at all times very helpful and hospitable.
