What people love about Kakadu National Park Tours for Seniors
- 4 Day Kakadu Katherine Gorge Experience (Accommodated)
Perfect organisation, relaxed, so well planned, amazing guide (Becs) who was warm, friendly, inclusive, intelligent and a very very good driver. We were on time for everything yet never felt rushed. Food delicious, accommodation great and the experience really is a must. We learnt so much and returned home wanting to see and learn more about our fabulous country and its amazing indigenous culture and people.
