Be immersed into the very heartland of Australia and experience its most sacred landscapes, bountiful National Parks and waterfalls. Discover the Top End's ancient gorges then journey to the magical Red Centre, seeing iconic Uluru, the mystical domes of Kata Tjuta, and windswept Walpa Gorge.
The AATKINGS Wilderness trip was easy and enjoyable. There were options to do more or less each day. The coach, food and accommodation were great but it was the easy way the trip showed off beautiful Tasmania, that won me.
The Kakadu and Tiwi Island Explorer is a three-day adventure beginning and ending in Darwin, crafted for experienced travelers eager to discover Australia’s northern treasures. Journey through the lush expanse of Kakadu National Park, rich in wildlife and Indigenous heritage, before venturing to the culturally vibrant Tiwi Islands. This guided tour blends natural exploration with cultural experiences, creating an itinerary that reveals both the wild beauty and deep traditions of the Top End. The USP: a rare chance to experience Kakadu’s ancient landscapes alongside the unique customs of the Tiwi people, all within a compact, expertly guided trip.
Sit back and relax on this epic 1,600 km journey between Uluru and Adelaide. Visit the Kanku Breakaways Conservation Park and the the Dog Fence, a structure spanning over 5,000 kms, stay in a mud hut in Coober Pedy, where 70% of the population live underground. Take a town tour and have a try at opal mining. Explore the township of Woomera, home to the largest missile and rocket range in the western world, and enjoy a wine in the stunning Clare Valley before arriving into Adelaide.
The accommodation, the tour leader and the driver were very good. Interactions with indigenous people was a highlight as was the visits to spectacular places in Kakadu’s, Jabiru and the gorges.
The tour director was articulate and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave all tour participants access to understanding aspects of country, indigenous care of country understandable and indigenous culture and this made the tour for me, an excellent life experience.
Accomodation was in the main excellent, especially in Jabiru.
Thank you Top End Highlights.
Great trip. Seeing the remoteness of the N and W of Tasmania contrasted with the very different side on the NE and S.
Waking up in Cradle Mountain to snow and freezing temperatures will remain a highlight of the trip, closely followed by Launceston’s Cataract Gorge optional cruise which included a wine tasting! Very difficult to select highlights!
I like the fact that Margaret, the very knowledgable guide, gave us a variety of information on the history including convict background to Sarah Island and Port Arthur, human geography, agriculture etc and makes the area really come alive.
Absorb the natural beauty of the Top End. Discover the wonders of Kakadu National Park, cruise the famous Yellow Water Billabong and spot saltwater crocs and other wildlife. Travel by 4WD into Arnhem Land and take in the amazing scenery and culture.
AAT is an excellent tour company, I would rate them highly.
They look after their customers very well, are helpful and attentive. The tour guide Margaret was wonderful as was the bus driver. Margaret was very informative and helpful and had so much knowledge to share.
The accommodation was always good. I liked the interaction AAT Kings provided with the two dinners together (very special) with all the people on the tour on 2 separate evenings, the delicious breakfast meals we had and the welcome drink on arrival was very special and a nice personal touch for us all. The small free gift was a special touch. I love the colour of the bag. It'll be very useful. Thank you.
From two previous tour companies overseas that I've travelled with in the past and also AAT Kings in Australia, I'd honestly have to say, AAT Kings was head and shoulders above the others. Such impeccable service. It would be hard to beat.
All my friends and family raved about the scenery on the journey and the places we visited.
I'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending AAT Kings.
