I really loved the program and Amber with her immense smile, humor and broad experience of groups, culture about nature, aboriginal people made it a truly exceptional 5 days in my life !! So thanks Amber & thanks Intrepid very good to be in a small group too as I’m traveling solo I didn’t feel isolated amongst couples one single minute !!
- 4 Day Kakadu & Katherine Gorge Cultural Experience (Accommodated)
Perfect organisation, relaxed, so well planned, amazing guide (Becs) who was warm, friendly, inclusive, intelligent and a very very good driver. We were on time for everything yet never felt rushed. Food delicious, accommodation great and the experience really is a must. We learnt so much and returned home wanting to see and learn more about our fabulous country and its amazing indigenous culture and people.
