Excellent day - A wonderful day with Deni a very knowledgeable & entertaining guide. We did Fogg Dam as did the crocodile jumping on the Litchfield tour. We saw lots of wildlife, birds, crocodiles, emu, buffaloes, dingo, boars, wallabies. Plus Aboriginal art on rock faces.

Great birdwatching - Drive along the dam. Amazing birds close to road and the chance of watching other stupid tourists being eaten by crocodiles as they get out of their cars.

World heritage listing well earned - Carlos was an amazing driver/guide. He was extremely friendly, witty, knowledgeable and very easy going and approachable. He took the time to chat with everyone individually. He was extremely helpful to me. I was travelling alone and was somewhat apprehensive about the walk up the rocks to see the various art work and to experience the amazing view at the top of the rock formations. He insisted on being my physical support as I made my way up the uneven and sometimes steep sections that had no handrails. Thanks so much Carlos for making my day better!!

Best Company & Tour! Add it to the list of activities to do - 10/10 recommend this tour! Autopia is a brilliant company that offers a smaller group experience, a well-planned itinerary, friendly and approachable staff and guides. Darryl was vibrant, approachable, friendly and knowledgeable of the area and the sites visited! We spent a considerable amount of time at all the attractions, Arnhem land is one of the most spectacular sites that you will ever see! I will definitely be booking future tours with this company again!

Good to visit but long day - The trip to Fogg Dam and Kakadu was well worth it. The sites and information provided was excellent and Rachel our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. The only down side is the length of time on the road particularly on the way home

Fog on the dam. Kakadu on a fine day. - Enjoyed the action packed day-much driving, by enthusiastic and helpful guide Bec, who was a mine of information on the birds of Fogg Dam (we drove through fog to get there). also the introduction to Kakadu. Crocodiles were asleep.
