Bruce Irvine – Australia

For us it was the best way to see Kakadu, we did a scenic flight from Darwin taking about 90 mins only 4 of us on the plane including the pilot, , did the Yellow River Boat Cruise plenty of wild life, then finished with an amazing lunch including a beverage, then less than an hour back, great day

Amazing, I feel grateful that I was able to do this trip, from start to finish it was fantastic. The scenic flight and informed pilot, smooth take offs and landings. Landing on a first air strip ! The yellow River cruise was authentic, beautiful and information given was interesting. The Lillie’s were out in flower after the summer rains, plenty of crocs and an abundance of bird life. Lunch - I had barramundi and salad and chips , perfectly cooked. The cultural centre filled in any unanswered questions. Very well organised trip, highly recommend. Last but not least always easy to book with GYG
