Great Kakadu National Park Trip - We joined the full day Kakadu National Park tour with the optional jumping crocodile boat cruise. We had a wonderful experience. Our guide, Dani, was exceptional. She provided so much interesting information along the ride to and through the park that the drive felt quick. We did not join the jumping crocodile boat tour and instead stayed with Dani to visit the nearby dam to see a variety of birds. Unfortunately, we didn't see any crocodiles during our tour, but the Aboriginal rock art was the highlight of the tour. We are very happy with this tour. Just understand it's a full-day with a good amount of driving, but like I said, our guide, Dani, was fantastic in educating us about Darwin, Kakadu National Park, Aboriginal culture, and the animals we saw during the trip.

Dani was our guide to for... - Dani was our guide to for the day and was very informative. She knew a lot about the area as that is where she grew up. The day started out rainy but as the day went on it was only raining intermittently. The drive was long but we stopped every hour for a quick break. The area is just beautiful and full of history. Before we got to the park we stopped for the jumping crocodile cruise. Also very entertaining. The cave art was very interesting and the mountains are spectacular.

We had a good hike in Kakadu, with Leigh giving us lots of stories. Leigh was a great guide, never afraid to delve into any Aussie topic.

Lovely day trip if you are into nature! - Had a great experience. The tour guide, whose name I forgot (he wears a mullet and likes geology), was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of insight into local history, Aboriginal traditions, and local fauna. A bit of a longer drive, but worth it!

Spectacular scenery, and well preserved rock srt - It's a long day at least 3 hours each way, the scenery on route is unchanging. You have an option for jumping crocodiles or bird watching, it depends on the time of year for the latter, so choose carefully, there are also regular comfort stops, food options are limited to the way out, but you can stock up and put in the toolbox provided.

A great day out to an iconic Australian park - We really enjoyed this trip where we did the 1 hour jumping crocodile cruise and visited Kakadu. We particularly liked the walk around the rock art paintings at Ubirr with the view of the park from the top. Rick was a great host always making sure we were looked after with frequent stops and water top ups. His commentary on Darwin, the park and paintings added to the experience. It was a 13 hr day but went quickly. Coach was comfortable with air con. Would recommend.

Great trip, well planned, good knowledgeable guide - Booked a day tour to Kakadu including a river cruise with crocodiles. Everything was really good. Our guide Leigh was great and very informative. The only reason I grade it 4 instead of 5 stars is that I would rather have done a longer tour, a few days round-trip in stead of this one day, a 650 km roundtrip. I can highly recommend Wildlife Australia and if you have only one day, well it's far better than nothing!
