It's a very long trip and you probably spend as much time on the coach as off, so the tour company need to update their tech to make it less boring. Instead of just showing screens with the road ahead, show a map of the route with information about each place. The driver was very knowledgeable and engaging with his commentary, but again the tech in the coach needs updating. We also found the rock art site and cultural centre underwhelming. The lunch too was not even ready when we got there and rather limited in quality and quantity. We did, however, enjoy the river cruise. The ' captain' was quirky yet very knowledgeable. This redeemed the trip for us. There was too little time at the Cultural Centre and way too much time waiting for a driver change at the Crocodile Resort, ten minutes turned into thirty waiting on a hot coach to then take a further three hours to get back to Darwin. At $ 1000 per couple, the thirteen hour day was too long, too much money and sooo inderwhelming.

It's a long day. Lots of sitting. On the bus, at lunch, on the boat. And on the plane should you take this option. The last three hours between Jabiru and Darwin were torture. While the seats were comfortable at the start, they became less so at the end. But if you want to see some (and it's not much) of Kakadu in a day you don't have many options. Guide and driver were good. It's the itinerary that's the problem.
One amazing day

Amazing tour. Bus driver was so helpful and very knowledgeable. Lunch was lovely. Cruise was very thing I was expecting, saw Jabirus and crocodiles in the first 10 minutes. The ranger was very funny and very helpful answering any questions. We even got to do a airplane flight over Kakadu, a extra expensive that is very worth the money. A very long day but worth every minute.
A Great Day in Kakadu

The Tour was super in every respect. From our coach driver and guide Ajay, to our lunchtime boat cruise, to our walk to see the rock art. AJ was very knowledgeable and had a good mix of information and silences as well, so we weren’t over burdened with too much information. The included lunch was brilliant as well as was our boat guide Dennis. (Who was hilarious and very knowledgeable about his culture). Although the Tour went for 13 1/2 hours, it was not a long 13 1/2 hours. I highly recommend people to do this tour and experience the beauty of Kakadu and the indigenous history.
Amazing scenery.

This was along but great day out. We we're staying in Darwin after our tour of the Red Centre, so decided on a day trip to Kakadu. Our tour guide, Libby arrived at our hotel to pick us up in a full sized bus even though there were only 15 of us. It was a 13.5 hr day but the bus was comfortable and Libby made sure that we had regular toilet/ food stops all day. We really enjoyed our day and especially the river boat cruise. Libby was bright and cheery all day and only too happy to help with anything. Would definitely recommend this day trip even though it's a big day.
An experience never to be forgotten.

Fantastic all day tour with our very knowledgeable and likeable driver Anthony. Fascinating insight into aboriginal culture and the NT landscapes and wildlife. KAKADU Yellow Water cruise was the highlight for us. What a gorgeous place. We saw a large array of beautiful birds and some impressive saltwater crocodiles and buffalo. Great lunch provided on route too. It was a long 14 hour day but totally worth it in a nice air conditioned coach. Highly recommended.

The trip was excellent from start to finish. Our bus driver/guide Jess was very professional, knowledgeable and a great driver. The Yellow Waters tour with Adam was fantastic. Another thoroughly professional and knowledgeable guide. It is a very long day, 6 am until 8 pm, but if you don’t have a lot of days in Darwin and want to see Kakadu then this is the way to do it.
