Great day out. - The climb up Oobirr was easier than I expected, for and 82 year old. Great viewing boardwalk at Cahill's Crossing, but no crocs.
Ethan our guide was excellent, full of interesting information about rock art.
Only four of us in the tour which made it easy to get to know and enjoy each other's company.

Kakadu - Tour itself was good and guide was great. But disappointed that we were not aided that Cahill crossing was closed and we would not be able to visit it as that was our main reason for booking this particular tour

Nice but long time sitting in a bus - While booking via Viator doesn’t offer hotel pickup, other platforms do as we drove to quite a few hotels picking up other traveler.
The jumping crocodile activity was nice and I can recommend it. They provided lots of details around the seawater crocodiles in the freshwater river.
For the national park Kakadu, I can echo previous reviews. It is a very long bus drive for a nice stop with artwork and a view. From the 12 hours we spend 2/3 sitting in the bus as Ubirr is very far away from Darwin. I personally wouldn’t do it again (we also had ~40C which made the short walk a sweaty one), but everyone needs to decide what he/she deems ok.
