Additional Information

Experience the World Heritage Kakadu National Park on this interactive day tour from Darwin. On this small group Kakadu day tour, your Offroad Dreaming Guide will interpret for you, the Ancient Artworks at the Ubirr Rock Art Sites, spend time with the Artworks at ground level, or climb to the top to view the 360’ lookout over the Wetlands from the Nadab lookout, join the Guluyambi Cultural Cruise on the East Alligator River, to hear about the history and culture of the people and the land and take up their invitation for a step into Arnhem Land, where there will be a cultural demonstration. Your professional guide will take you through the day, sharing with you knowledge and stories as you go.

Highly Recommend - Highly recommend. Our tour guide Mike was a wealth of information on the local area and gave us a great insight into aboriginal culture whilst on the bus before arriving at Kakadu. He guided us through spectacular Rock Art, and walk, then provided a large spread of salad for lunch. We then went on a river cruise guided by a local Aboriginal guide which was a very educational experience, then met with locals at the Cultural Centre to purchase art. A full day, 10/10, a fantastic day out with my sisters.

Day tour that covers a lot. - Well organised tour. Becs was a fantastic tour guide and bus driver. Very knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. Plenty of food for lunch and snacks. Lovely cold water available which was really welcome as the day got hotter. Smaller group made it much more enjoyable rather than travelling on a large tour bus. It was a long day but would highly recommend this tour.

Bucket List Day trip to Kakadu - For a Pommie Becs (Rebecca) was an excellent and unbelievably knowledgeable young lady who made our visit to Kakadu memorable! Her previous experiences in the top end were happily shared with our small group of 13. From her grasp of the local aboriginal language to her knowledge of wildlife and flora was riveting. I can’t recommend Off-road Dreaming highly enough. The plentiful supply of fresh cold drinking water, the snacks through the day; and the wonderful lunch all prepared and catered by Becs, Our scenic stops along the way including my crocodile sighting as we crossed the South Alligator River will all be very memorable.

Great Adventure - The Kakadu day tour with Becs was exceptional. It was a jam-packed day full of great experience. From climbing Ubirr rock, viewing the scenery from the top, viewing the rock art, to the scenic river tour where we learnt much of the traditions was a pleasure. Thanks Becs for a great day. You are a fantastic guide and the lunch was great! Gumak and Bobo Kat and Paul

Spectacular Kakadu day tour - The Kakadu day tour with guide Becs was fantastic! A long day, but we'll worth it, and guide Becs was the perfect host... Experienced, informative, knowledgeable, and great personality that made the trip that much more enjoyable. The walking/climbing at Ubirr rock art (followed by a great lunch) was amazing, as was the river cruise. Thoroughly recommend! @becs, Rom left his Rarotonga cap on the bus, but you're welcome to it! Thanks again. "Gumak".

AWESOME TRIP TO KAKADU - ORGANISED BY OFFROAD DREAMING AND LED BY 'BECS' - It's a long way to go for just the day but if you only have one day free then better to go than not to go! Whole tour is very well organised and we were so lucky to have 'Becs' as our driver/guide. Even if she is from the UK she really knows her stuff and is well informed, witty and fun to be around. Our whole group were totally enamoured with her and would always want to have Becs leading any future tours!!
