Great trip (long day but well worth it) - Mark our driver and guide was excellent with the right amount of informative explanation and quiet time so we could catch some sleep on this long drive. Jamie on the Nitmiluk boat was also fantastic in his detailed commentary. Both ensured our safety. Mark’s stops ran smoothly to time and we had adequate time at each including him being flexible in allowing us to climb up to the upper pool when swimming was not allowed at the main pool at Edith falls. The lunch was wonderful and I loved the crocodile roll.

Long road to a great experience - Katherine Gorge was a most memorable time for us. The tour was run like clockwork with really no issues. Except, the online itinerary stated the opportunity to swim at Edith falls. We took the appropriate clothing only to be told there was no swimming because of crocodiles. Wifi and in seat USB connections were unavailable. It is a long day of travelling, however the destinations are well worth it. 14 hours in total. April is just before the peak season starts, therefore a little quieter and not a full coach. Our pick up point was the Vibe Hotel which is where we stayed.

Very Good - The Adelaide River Memorial is a must. As an Australian, it was so impactful to see how many lost their lives in the bombings of Darwin. I say bombings because Darwin was bombed over 60 times, spanning nearly 2 years. The Katherine Gorge cruise was fantastic, our guide was a local Aboriginal man who was very knowledgeable. The lunch was a really good buffet. We were a bit unlucky as our bus broke down at Adelaide River meaning we didn't get to see Pine Creek as we had to wait for a replacement bus.
