A very memorable experience. Pilot was experienced and knowledgeable and the scenery during the flight spectacular. The boat cruise at Kakadu was brilliant. Dennis with “2 n’s” a local indigenous guide was extremely entertaining and knowledgable. The wetlands and wildlife is breathtaking, and if you want to see crocodiles they are in abundance. Lunch was also very tasty with a number of choices. Well worth the money.

Flying over Kakadu provides a very different perspective and exploring the Yellow Water Billabong was so interesting. Josh was more than our pilot flying us safely, providing commentary, making sure we always had cold water and organising our lunch. Overall, an amazing and very memorable day.
