Litchfield Tour Fabulous day exploring Litchfield. Early morning dip a perfect to start the day - drinking coffee in the springs. All stops interesting - Florence and Wangi Falls and termite mounds. Excellent lunch and snacks through out the day. Rob was very knowledgeable and entertaining guide and we had a fascinating chat about life the universe and everything in the Bus on the way back. Both of us would highly recommend this experience it was truly one of the best days we have had on our Australian adventure.

Fantastic day out Had a great tour with Karl, his knowledge and information on the way to our first stop Berry Springs was great, what a way to start the day, swim and then morning tea. Then onto the termite mounds, Florence falls and the rock pools for 2 more swims, lunch was great. Wangi falls was the last stop, what a great place to visit, fantastic view of the falls from the water for another swim and cool down. Would recommend this day tour , well organized.

Exclusive Immersive Territory Day Tour Keen to try something new and different we joined Rob on his small group Top End Taste Safari ( Birds,buggies,brunch,airboat) at Finniss River Lodge/Station. An early hotel pickup and 115km drive southwest from Darwin had us at the luxury lodge where we were warmly greeted by the team with coffee and chef prepared breakfast. We then headed out with our very experienced knowledgeable station guide for 2 hours of wildlife spotting and nature education in the go anywhere ATV. Following this was an exhilarating airboat ride over the wetlands. Time then for a beverage and another chef prepared meal. A swim in the lodge pool rounded off the afternoon. A relaxed, unhurried day, away from the crowds with plenty of time for photography and questions. 100% recommend this day tour. Suitable for anyone interested in seeing another side of Territory.

Exactly What We Hoped For – and More! Review for Kakadu 2 Day Tour Colours of KakaduAs a small group it allowed us to adjust the pace, like when we were driving past a picturesque billabong, we could stop and have our lunch there.The lunches were really tasty. The warm muffins before the sunrise Yellow Water cruise were fabulous.The whole itinerary has been well considered to get the most out of 2 days. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you Adam our guide and the team of ethical adventures for our wonderful experience of Kakadu.

Amazing Day at Kakadu I had a great day exploring Kakadu. Rob was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. The lunch and snacks provided were both healthy and delicious. I loved the small and relaxed tour group size and Rob was a natural at making everyone feel welcome and at ease. The highlights included vising amazing Aboriginal rock paintings and meeting local indigenous artists and guides. The boat trip to see crocodiles up close won't disappoint. I would recommend this must do tour to everyone visiting Darwin/Kakadu.

Fantastic Day Trip! It is a long day but amazing!! All inclusive trip with breakfast, lunch, drinks and afternoon tea and a final stop at the Bark Hut Pub. The lunch was simple but hearty and healthy and very delicious.Our guide Rob was informative, funny, and explained the Kakadu NP area and rock art history with lots of breaks to enjoy the scenery and take it all in.Small group of six which is nice as we didn’t feel rushed like bigger tours.We also had Robbie a local indigenous guide who explained his way of life passed on by his ancestors while cruising the river and to see the crocodiles up close in their natural habitat.Overall it was an amazing tour, a new perspective of life in the Territory and the scenery was breathtaking. Thank you
