Kakadu 4WD Ultimate: 4-Day Wild Outback Safari from Darwin

Becs was a wonderful and thoughtful tour guide for our four day trip to Kakadu, Edith Falls and Katherine Gorge (and everything in between). Her in-depth and engaging knowledge of culture, geography and history of the area was excellent and I very much enjoyed hearing all about it. It is a full, busy, active and fun-packed trip (and our group were delightful). The comfortable, air-conditioned hotels at the end of each day were very welcome. An amazing visit to the "Top End".

Our guide Dani was incredibly generous in sharing her knowledge and personal experience of Kakadu, looked after our group exceptionally well, and gave us plenty of laughs too

Our tour guide Danni was exceptional. Being a member of the local community meant she gave us insights into the sites we visited above and beyond what was available to other tourists. I was left with a whole new appreciation of the skills and endurance of the indigenous peoples to survive for thousands of years in this environment. Danni made our visit a very memorable one for my husband and I. . Thankyou.

Great trip with a lot of activity fitted in. Comfortable 4wd tour bus, good picnic lunches, very comfortable accommodation in jabiru. Danny our guide was a fount of information and anecdotes , really helpful and looked after us well.

This 4 day trip was so enjoyable, well paced and organised. Our guide, Becs, was knowledgeable and sensitive to First Nation culture as well as being a good, safety conscious driver and all round fun person. We saw an abundance of wildlife, learnt from local First Nation guides and ate well.

There are so many different Kakadu tours from which to choose. We got it right. It was a small, diverse group on the tour and that was great. We saw the stunning places that we wanted to see and that was great. We saw the wildlife we wanted to see and that was great. We learnt a lot about the culture and the land from people who know it way better than us and that was great. It was 5 star all the way. Then there was Tim, our guide. He is worthy of another 5 stars all by himself. Knowledgeable, kind, understanding, flexible and a play list for the ages. So pick this tour and you won't go wrong. If you are lucky enough to have Tim for your guide you will go even better!

A memorable four days! The itinerary is extremely well-rounded and provides a great experience to Kakadu, Katherine, and the NT in general. Our guide, Becs, was top notch with plenty of information about the area and a deep knowledge and understanding of native customs.

I could see gorgeous sightseeing and took attractive photos different types of rocks and rivers we have been just i can recomment to others

Thank you Lee for the exceptional 4 days roadtrip! You were a really fun guide that told us all about the national park. I saw things that would have been hard to reach / spot by myself. Loved the walks and swimming in these landscapes! Claire

I went on the 4 day Kakadu / Katherine Tour with autopia. I was the only one who booked a camping site, which was inconvenient for the tour I think, so they gave me a free upgrade. The rooms were very lovely, clean, had airconditioning and towels. One evening, we ate at the hotel restaurant. The other evenings the food was quite simple. I don’t eat meat and got pasta with a scoop of pesto one night. No vegetables at all. For lunch we had a salad once and mostly wraps with the left over vegetables from day 2. The Kakadu park is a lovely park and this tour makes you see a lot of it in a short while. You go to nice gorges and waterfalls and are able to swim at the loveliest places. The pace is quite slow though, I’m used to “beating the heat” from my other tours here. But breakfast took 1,5 hours most days, with breakfast at 7am, we didn’t leave before 900/930. The group consisted of retirees, with one 50 year old man and me; 37 years old. I would like to have known beforehand, because now i didn’t get to see the Jim Jim falls, because the guide decided the rest of the group wasn’t fit enough to go there and made it seem the hike up there was horrible, with nothing to see there anyway this time of year. She did provide me with two other nice walks/hikes though, while the rest rested. Those were nice efforts from the tour guide, Dani. Most of the time, i found her behavior and attitude quite shocking. She set the tone the first morning, when she yelled at a passenger twice in the first few hours. (Once for asking where the animal was Dani was talking about, once for asking if they could have a toilet break while driving.) Dani comes of as agitated and agressive. She seemed very stressed but didn’t allow any help with setting up dinner or cleaning up. When she was away to get the car tire fixed, the group helped (eventually, 90% was afraid to do anything at first) with putting some stuff away. Dani came back, yelled angrily to take everything out, and then proceeded to tell the group to put the stuff back in the exact same boxes they just came from. On the other hand, she seemed to want praise for the basic things guides do, like making meals. Dani told us she would bake something the next morning, I told her there was no need for me. The next morning l, she made burgers anyway, at 9am. Her reaction made it clear that I had to eat the burger, either now or later. Refusing wasn’t an option, because she made it especially for me. This is nót something I expect from a guide, a stranger, or anyone. She also had a go at a couple of strangers, in their own car. She made them stop their car for something petty. She even yelled “get the f*ck out of my water hole”, about a public swimming place. Her driving was quite rough at times, we went 40-50 km/h on a bumpy road, which made the people jump up from their seats, made the car slip and we got a flat tire. Two times she drove in the wrong direction, four travelers noticed but were to affraid to get scolded so didn’t dare to say anything.
