Excellent tour: Darwin History, Fogg Dam Reserve, Humpty Doo lunch break - 5 stars (*****)! Pick-up from the Darwin cruise terminal was perfect. Geoff was friendly, engaging, and accommodating to the interests of our group. He shared information about Darwin's history which was fascinating. If you are interested in wildlife/wildlife photography, you will love Geoff and his photography skills. Geoff knew the locations with the best likelihood of seeing particular birds and animals, and assisted us in spotting some of them in their environments. (At Fogg Dam, he spotted a pair of Barking Owls in a tree and helped us locating them and getting photographs). He also took excellent photographs of the sights along each tour, and sent them to the participants. We had an enjoyable time chatting with Geoff over lunch at the Humpty Doo Hotel. His love for the Darwin area and desire to share his extensive knowledge of it made this a a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend this tour for birders, history buffs, and anyone interested in a beautiful adventure in Darwin.

A WOW EXPERENCE - My wife and I have spent 5 days touring the Darwin Kakadu area with Geoff of Lookabout Tours. Geoff has taken us to historical places and wetlands that many tourist don't usually go such as Snake Creek and Leaning Tree wetlands. Geoff is very knowledgeable about the area and knows how to iook after his customers. Great experience. Geoff takes some amazing photos which he has shared with us Thanks Geoff

5-day private tour. - From being met at the airport in Darwin to being taken to our Hotel 5 days later after a most interesting tour. Private accommodation in a lovely unit, to touring in a comfortable landcruiser, 5 days of luxury. WW2 history and special places to bird life and reptiles, all in their natural habitat. Thanks, Geoff and Jane. We will be back in the Wet Season.

Fabulous afternoon/sunset tour with an expert wildlife spotter. - Geoff’s tour was wonderful. He is knowledgeable about Darwin’s history and equally so with wildlife. Exceptional at spotting and identifying birds. He takes shots with his amazing telephoto lens and shared them with us next morning. Geoff is so friendly and attentive and spends the 5 hour trip engaging with all and taking an interest too. I thoroughly recommend this small group tour to any bird lovers. We saw a croc at the dam too!

Sunset Tour to end our Holiday - We chose this small group tour for our last night in Darwin and it was great. Geoff our guide was knowledgeable and engaging and the Fogg Dam location delivered on beautiful scenery with a range of wildlife- birds, crocodiles, wallabies and buffalo. The dinner and conversation at the pub was a fitting end to the night and our holiday Geoff is also a great photographer and we appreciated the photos he shared with us the next day. A great tour I would recommend

For Bird Lovers - Very interesting and fun small group tour. Geoff was very knowledgeable and we saw a variety of birds, including a barking owl, a jabiru and brolga. Small wallaby, small salty and some buffalo added to the wildlife scene. The wetlands were peaceful yet full of life. Binoculars were provided and we all had a window view. Excellent tour with a good dinner stop at Humpty Doo Hotel to finish.
