Great Day! - We only had 3 days in Darwin and really wanted to see Kakadu. This seemed like a great option. Jordan was our pilot. He was informative and enjoyable to spend the day with. We had an early start from Darwin, and flew to Katherine with sights pointed out from above. In Katherine we took a taxi to Katherine Helicopters where we got a thrilling helicopter tour of Katherine Gorge. Our pilot was a wealth of information, and seeing the gorge from that perspective was awesome. We then flew to Cooinda, and Jordan was able to point out Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls. Very little water as it is dry season, but great to see these places. In Cooinda we had a look around before boarding the yellow water cruise. We enjoyed the cruise and saw lots of crocs and wetland birds. After the cruise we had an enjoyable lunch in Cooinda Lodge and then flew back to Darwin feeling like rockstars. We had a great day. The folks at Kookaburra Air have a well organized plan and Jordan was an absolute delight.

Amazing day - Absolutely amazing experience! Recommend for anyone visiting NT, and Jordan from @kookaburra air was such an awesome guide / pilot for the day!

A great way to see a large spanse of the Northern Territory. Worth every dollar! Spectacular day out. Highly recommend. - Amazing views from the air across a great expanse of the Northern Territory all seen in a day! Spectacular scenery and great commentary along the way from Austin my very knowledgeable Kookaburra Air pilot. Views of Darwin and surrounds from the moment you take off, fly over the Stuart Highway and see the old telegraph carriage lines alongside, see many avocado and mango plantations as you head south, the abandoned gold mines full of water that surround Pine Creek, the changes in the landscape as you see Nitmiluk National Park prior to descent in to Katherine. A short ride from the airport to the Helicopter and a very memorable flight over Nitmiluk National Park heading to Katherine Gorge. From the air you get a perspective of the size and scale of the area. A view of the Gorge from the water as well would have been perfect but was not part of the tour. Back to the plane for a flight over Nitmiluk National Park and Kakadu National Park en route to Cooinda and the Kakadu Yellow Waters Cruise. Great views of Jim Jim Creek and South Alligator River on the descent in to Cooinda. Being the dry season in July, there were plenty of crocodiles and lots of bird life to see on the cruise. Simply spectacular scenery is all I can say. Following the cruise, I decided to grab a bite to eat at Cooinda Lodge prior to the return flight to Darwin. Austin recommended the Beef Burger and it didn't disappoint. The flight back to Darwin provided vistas over the Mary and Adelaide Rivers and stunning afternoon views of Darwin. Thanks to Austin and Kookaburra Air for a sensational tour! I would do it again in a heartbeat to see the scenery in the wet season. Highly recommend!

Don’t miss this! - I had a fantastic day with this company. I’ve never been in a small plane like that and I was a little nervous and the pilot made me feel very safe and comfortable. I also enjoyed the river cruise more than I thought. Great commentary and lots of wildlife! This trip made me want to return to Darwin.

Australian gems - This was a week’s worth of travel all done in one day. The views were amazing and the schedule was impressive. Matthew was pleasant and informative and extremely safety conscious. We loved the day and highly recommend anyone visiting Darwin should do it.

Trip of a lifetime - The trip was awesome and the Pilot Matthew was just the perfect Pilot with his knowledge and experience politeness. Experience of a life time for my husband and myself. Well done Matthew.

A Unique experience. - Wow, what an experience. In the air over Darwin to see the sun rise. A very knowledgable pilot and guide explaining what we were seeing from on high. Amazing views over this vast landscape. A helicopter ride over Katherine gorges, just incredible, then flown to Kakadu for a beautiful cruise on Yellow Waters, to discover incredible wildlife, with an expert guide. A very unique way to see this beautiful land.

Great day away - Great pilots/hosts. Well worth the price. A great way to see some great attractions in a short time, but without feeling rushed.

Experience of a lifetime! A MUST DO!! - The experience was absolutely amazing. Ryan our tour guide was one of the most friendly people we have encountered and definitely knew his facts about the area. We cannot compare this experience with anything else we have done whilst travelling. We have traveled to 6 different countries over the span of our 4 month holiday getaway and this was our highlight experience and was well worth the money! Being able to see so much in a short time was fantastic. Well done.

Excellent Experience x 2 - My original booking included a flight to Kakadu and a Yellow Waters cruise in that National Park. There was a bit of a mix up with that booking, but JFC Charters/Kookaburra Air did an excellent job of offering me alternative arraignments, so I confirmed this experience which included the flight to Katherine, and then I added to my original booking to include the helicopter tour over Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park as well. Though it involved a change in dates of my plans, and I upgraded to include the helicopter experience, I consider it a win-win remedy for both myself and the tour operator. My only advice here is to always contact the tour operators when booking through this site or others, just to confirm that everyone is on the same page. This is a tour operator that I would trust again based on how they handled that issue, and for the overall experience. Our pilots (Mx2) were professional, informative, and fun. We had an "extra" pilot for the bush plane because one of the M's was observing for doing the trip on future excursions, while the other bit our great M&M's was flying. I was traveling solo (from California) and there was a nice couple from Sydney along with us. (Who did freak me out a bit when they mentioned being in a plane crash in Kenya, due to some wildebeests on the runway when they landed. Our pilots Mx2 assured us that would not happen on this trip!) From take off just before sunrise in Darwin, seeing the sun come up over the NT while in flight, to each take off, landing, and each experience on the ground (and off the ground and back during the most excellent helicopter part of the tour experience) was great. Mx2 looked after us the entire way, and the entire experience was exciting, informative and fun. Not only a highlight of all my travels during my month Down Under, but a life travel highlight as well. Just do it! So cool. Such an amazing experience, with top-notch professionals along for the journey.
