Willis's Walkabouts is northern Australia's most experienced bushwalking (hiking/trekking/backpacking) tour operator. We are the only tour operator who offers pack-carrying treks in Kakadu, throughout the rest of the Top End, the Kimberley, the Pilbara and central Australia. No one else can take you to see Jim Jim and Twin Falls up close in the wet season. No one else can take you deep into the heart of the Bungle Bungles or far beyond where any vehicle will ever go on the Mitchell Plateau.
This page provides links to our tour lists: Kakadu and the Top End, the Kimberley and Pilbara, the Red Centre and Overseas.
