Great day - Daryl was our guide and I had a great day learning about some parts of the Northern Territory. It was a small group, the shuttle bus was comfortable and there were restroom stops. We stopped at Gas Stations with food places for sandwiches and drinks.
I saw a lot amazing places for one day!
I highly recommend it.

Marvellous introduction to the Top End - This is a great way to experience the top end. The park is beautiful and so well maintained and Aaron, our guide made it such a fun day. He is clearly passionate about the park, its history, and indigenous connections, and had a host of relevant and informative stories. This is a great trip.

No complaints on this bus, a good time had by all! - Tour actually run by Autopia Tours. Bus was near full, 25 people (not "max 21", as stated). However Ricky the driver/guide was excellent & ran a friendly tour. The people with us were all pretty chill too. We got around all the sites, with just enough time to look around &/or take a plunge. All in all it was a great day.

Crocs,Eagles,termites,falls,swimming,pub - Great day out, Litchfield and Croc tour was well worth the drive. Tour guide was friendly and had great knowledge of the location and history. Probably would have been a better idea to ditch the last stop ( which was the Darwin River Pub ) As it was after 6:30 by the time we got back to Darwin. Other than that I would throughly recommend this tour.

Waterfall fest - Easy pick up and on time. We dropped some people off at the Croc Jumping and then went on to the Dam to bird watch. Sadly we only got out of the bus for 20 mins and drove past the real spectacle of water birds. We were told we couldn't get off the bus due to crocs, but we did see a bird watcher enjoying the designated viewing pontoons. So that was disappointing trying to take photo's behind glass and moving. We then returned to collect the Croc jumping crew. So about an hour wasted there going back & forth. We then travelled on to Litchfield National Park to the termite mounds. Not really our thing but the Dam & the Waterfalls were the real draw of the trip. The waterfalls didn't dissapoint. Be aware there are quite a few steps to access the first watefall but was worth the effort. A refreshing swim in the pool revived too. Our guide threw in an extra waterfall which was a short stroll away and again spectacular.
It was a long day but overall worth the effort & price.
