Naomi was absolutely amazing. Made our day so very special and was a bank of knowledge and information. We recommend her to anyone needing a tour guide. We will certainly request her next time we are in the NT. Kevin & Rhonda.

We were fortunate to have Becs take us for our Kakadu day trip, making sure we had the opportunity to fully experience this amazing area. Becs was knowledgeable and able to explain many aspects of the numerous features beyond the “standard guide “ information. Our pace through the day was suited to the demographics of the group, and we arrived back in Darwin tired from a very fulfilling and memorable day. I strongly recommend that if you have the opportunity, make the effort to explore this magnificent area. An extra special thank you to Becs, you made the day very special
