What people love about Walking Adventure Tours in Australia Northern Territory
- Kakadu, Katherine & Litchfield Explorer
As a just-retired, seriously out-of-shape nearly-63 year-old, after signing on for a 5 day/4 night 'Top End' tour from Canada I considered forfeiting the past-refundable cost almost up to departure. In striving to prepare over a short time-frame one knee in particular had gone sideways and it all just seemed too daunting. Well it nearly was. To see about 3/4 of the sights on the packed-in tour I was pushed fairly hard (says the rather decrepit ex-rugby player) - not by our excellent and accommodating guide Ken, but by what would have been missed otherwise. An amazing adventure it was, even having to sit out smaller parts of it. Just as important to me: as an educator who has worked with and for indigenous peoples in British Columbia for several decades, the leadership and wisdom shared by Dugmul and later Mundaydyedye was inspiring. Just as inspiring was the genuine respect shown both men and their traditional knowledge by our guide and by fellow participants. It hit all the notes that might give us hope for our kids and grandkids. If you can walk, appreciate nature and culture, and can manage a semi-'glamping' more-or-less cooperative lifestyle for a few days: go.
