It's a long day but it's a good day - This trip is long. It starts at 6:30 AM. I would have liked to have had hotel pick up. The trip ended at 9:30 PM. The bus was new and there was space for 27 people. The Driver/Guide was very good. The drive is boring. We did stop twice to buy snacks and lunch. I would wait and buy lunch at the snack shack at Edith Falls. We were able to swim at the pond at Edith Falls which was refreshing. The cruise through Katherine gorge was very good.

Get curious - Interesting commentary. Had to fact check a couple of things because there were a couple of comments that were just amazing. I like to learn though so piquing my curiosity is always a great day. Stunning scenery and lovely swimming holes enjoyed. Easy day of sitting back and relaxing with regular leg stretching opportunities.

Wonderful Katherine Gorge not to be missed - Katherine Gorge scenery was amazing, and our cruise guide Jodi was very knowledgable. Edith Falls was a lovely oasis for a cool dip at the end of the day. Naome was our guide for the day and did a marvellous job hearding the tour group through all the attractions and comfort stops.

A must see - Yes it’s a long day(almost 14 hours) but the highlight of our Darwin trip. Photos can’t replicate what you can see and the view in the gorge was amazing. It was made more enjoyable by a young local guide with cheeky humour and stories of her people’s past made you understand the history and beauty of the place. A great swim at Edith falls and if you can bring a noodle as it is huge. Well worth going on this tour.

Don’t miss Katherine Gorge - Loved Katherine gorge, beautiful peaceful cruises, the walk between the two boats is also nice. Edith falls a bit disappointing, but really nice to have a dip and a cool off. Grounds are well kept and clean. Great driver tour guide. Well organised Thanks Definitely recommend.
