A Day Well Spent - An enjoyable, if long, day tour. An early pickup ensured that the schedule was achieved. Our driver, Norm, enabled a friendly and inclusive atmosphere throughout the day. His manner and delivery ensured we had the information needed to make responsible decisions on which portion of the walk to undertake. Norm freely shared his extensive knowledge of Darwin, Kakadu, and First Nation culture. His passionate explanations brought the rock art to life. His rapport with the Traditional Owners was evident, which made the tour more personal and allowed easy conversations. The nutritious and fresh lunch was very welcome after the walk, as were the snacks provided during the return to Darwin. The boat cruise was very good, and the Traditional Owners provided fascinating details on the use of various plants along the riverbank. The spear throwing demonstrations were superb and demonstrated a well practiced skill. A very good day.

Informative, safe, relaxed/ well paced, stunning scenery. - As a solo traveller, I booked hoping that I could relax and watch the scenery, at the same time learning about a part of the NT that I had spent virtually no time in, despite living in the NT for 2 years back in 1976/78. This tour delivered everything I hoped for and more. It was safe and well planned, with breaks at appropriate times, both to and from Kakaudu. The constant stream of information was delivered at relevant times, in a manner that was easily absorbed, so not too much at any one time. Neville successfully explained the history, culture, flora, fauna geology and geography of the areas we travelled through, as well as other areas of the NT where such information would add to what we were seeing. The scenery we visited was stunning and his spotting of animals as we travelled was exceptional.

A wonderful day visiting Kakadu - A 1st class experience! Neville was an exceptional driver/guide and an absolute wealth of information...we felt very lucky to be in his capable hands for the day. The indigenous Rock Art, the views from the lookout and the Guluyambi cruise (Tyrone was a great guide on our boat) were highlights. A lovely lunch and lots of snacks were provided as well as water refills. For the distance travelled the bus was pretty comfortable and had very good air conditioning… and Neville provided well spaced comfort stops. Amazing sights were visited which made for an absolutely unforgettable day.

Kakadu day trip adventure - Brilliant experience! Alex and Tim were our guides for the day and they ensured we had an educational fun day! I learnt so much from Alex, his knowledge of Australia, Darwin, the Kakadu it's fauna and flora was exceptional. They were both passionate about nature and the area in general. Their driving was safe and steady. I can thoroughly recommend the day trip to see Fogg Dam, Ubirr Rock, Cahills Crossing with adequate stops along the way. Driving back to Darwin watching the sun set was also a treat. I can definitely recommend booking this trip via Sightseeing Tours Australia.

Got to be seen to be Believed - What an AMAZING day exploring some of what Kakadu has to offer. Neville, our Guide/Driver was exceptional and a font of information. I learnt so much during the drive and as we walked around the Art Sites. Robby our guide out on the water was so knowledgeable about Country and how he lived as a child. The Crocs up close and personal was awe inspiring. Loved every minute of the day, including the scrumptious lunch and snacks provided Thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Off road Dreaming Highly Recommend

Kakadu day tour with Offroad Dreaming - Enjoyed our day cultural tour out to Kakadu along with the yellow river cruise with our Australian Indigenous guide. The Rock art was fascinating and Neville our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area, the fauna and flora, interpreting the rock art and the Aboriginal culture. Lunch was delicious and the road trip enjoyable as Neville commentating despite the hours. Highly recommend this tour.
