I note you say have to be good & fit - how about an 80 year old and his 60 year old wife? Wife jogs 3 Km 3 times a week, I train HIIT & weights 3 or 4. Trekked Langtang in Nepal 2 years ago (up to 3400 meters) and plan to go again in October. My cardio specialist says go for it. Been in the Oz bush a lot of my life. How hard is your tour? What do you think?

Our tour requires a minimum moderate to advanced level of fitness, with daily walks ranging from 2 km to 4 km, sometimes over steep rocky sections, in direct sunlight and high humidity. The tour includes an approximate 9–11 km walk. Walks are always conducted at the guide's discretion to ensure guest safety. Based on what you've described, your trekking experience in Nepal, regular HIIT and jogging routines, and time spent in the Australian bush, you both sound well-prepared for the physical aspects of this tour. For participants over 75, we do require a doctor's certificate confirming fitness for the tour.

Is there a minimum number of people for your group tours? Are there BALANCED vegetarian meals offered?

Our tours do have a minimum number of people on board, however we are very active when it comes to monitoring our numbers, and only cancel or change tours if it is the worst case scenario. We are not what you mean by balanced, but we do provide a wide arrary of choices for you to select from. These do range from tour to tour, but the meals will be all healthily portioned out and sufficent for the 5 day tour.

I am a mature aged woman that would like to see NT including Kakadu. I would like a room of my own, NO shared facilities. I plan to go for 5 days, leaving from Brisbane. What do you have? I am reasonably fit but certainly dont want to hike for hours and hours. I like the idea of a coach tour.

We operate the first 4 days of this tour on a 21 seater 4 wheel drive air conditioned vehicle, but we usually keep it to a maximum of 16 - 17 persons. The 5th day of the tour (which is to Litchfield) will be operated on a 24 seater bus with a maximum of 21 - 22 persons. We have 5 seats left for the departure on Monday 12th September 2022. The accommodation on this tour is based on a Twin share basis. A single room supplement might be an option but this is strictly subject to availability. While the hikes don't go on for hours and hours, they can be up to 5 km return hikes/walks. The temperatures in Kakadu can be quite warm in September (around 38 degrees or so).

If travelling alone, is it possible to get a single hotel room on this tour?

We offer twin share with another traveller of the same gender as our accomodation suppliers are limited with room types. Once you make the booking, please contact us directly and we can check for you if this is a possibilty but there are no guarantees for single room upgrades.

Can you please advise what is the exact time of the start of the trip?

The pickups start from around 6.20 am in Darwin city depending on where the customers are getting picked up. We don't pick up from every hotel or accommodation address but we can work out the best possible pick up location for the customers once we know where they are staying. Our default pick up location is Travelodge Resort Darwin, 64 Cavenagh Street, Darwin at 6.30 am.

Is it possible to phone and talk to someone

We are currently fully booked for the 15th August - was there any other dates you could work with?

What sort of accommodation? Can u give me details of where we would stay?

The accommodation will be on Twin Share Basis (2 single beds). We can try for a double room if required but not guaranteed due to the limited available options. The first 2 nights will be at Anbinik Kakadu Resort. You will have a private room but the shared bathroom facilities will be outside your room. The 3rd night accommodation will be at Pine Creek Hotel. Here you will have ensuite facilities. The 4th night will be Darwin at H on Smith Hotel and will have ensuite facilities as well.

Can you advise if you have something similar that includes less time for travel to each destination?

Can you advise which hotels will the guests be staying in for the first and last hotel?

Looking for a private tour for 4-5 nights from 18-24 April

This tour is not available in a private charter capacity due to limited access to accommodation suppliers in the region. Our first public tour is available from 5th May 2022 until 27th Oct 2022

I'm trying to organise a trip for my Dad to do a 5 day tour to Kakadu, he is 60 years of age but is very fit and has no health issues.

We do not stay in tents on this tour, we use basic motel/resort-style accommodation. This trip is perfectly suited to an active 60yr, who wishes to get out and explore Australia but sleep and travel in comfort.

We did their Kakadu/ Litchfield tour. We paid $850 A DAY for the two of us. I would have expected better for that price. Transport and the leader ( Ben ) was excellent but the food apart for one meal was very, very bad. Cheap wraps everyday for lunch with no fruit or anything else. A cheap pasta dish and a basic BBQ was the two other evening meals which for food l would only give 1 star or less. Accomodation in Darwin was good but the other accommodation was very poor for the price which was paid. Itinerary was a listed but most of the time we just spend driving from waterfall to waterfall. We were bitterly disappointed that on the last day we were looking forward to the ‘Jumping croc tour’ as a optional extra but on the day it was sold out. We believe that we should have been given the opportunity to book it as we booked the whole tour, or even during the first four days of the tour but to go out on the day on the Litchfield tour, only to be told that, that part of the tour was sold out. I would not use this company again.Show more

Beautiful scenery, fascinating aborigeneous culture and traditions, amazing group of people. We really got on very well. Food could have been better for the price we paid. Excellent guide. Jay was terrific. We all appreciated her kindness and enthusiasm. Coming back to Darwin at the end of the fourth day was unnecessary. It added a lot of mileage for nothing. Plus a hotel room in Darwin that was probably not cheap.Show more

I note you say have to be good & fit - how about an 80 year old and his 60 year old wife? Wife jogs 3 Km 3 times a week, I train HIIT & weights 3 or 4. Trekked Langtang in Nepal 2 years ago (up to 3400 meters) and plan to go again in October. My cardio specialist says go for it. Been in the Oz bush a lot of my life. How hard is your tour?

- Autopia ToursOperator•Written July 2022
  The dry season is usually between May and October. Mid June to August is probably a good time for you then where the typical temperatures are usually around 29 degrees. But this is something that can't be guaranteed obviously. Please do a bit of research at your end too and see what works best for you.
