All trips begin and end in Darwin.

Details of Kakadu trips may need to be changed to fit park management needs that arise from time to time. Trips where the first bookings come in well in advance are less likely to have to be changed than those where bookings arrive closer to the date of departure.

Prices. Many of our costs, especially transport are subject to changes beyond our control. Prices are, therefore, subject to change without notice.
