Australia National parks Trips

It was a good way of seeing the top end! Having come from the UK and did not wish to drive ourselves. There were a couple of trips that we wondered why we were going there it seemed a long way for an overnight stay although we realised That Macca needed the breaks from driving(he was excellent by the way) The stand out trip for us was the Plane trip over the Bungle Bungles wouldn’t have missed that for the world.This was our 9th visit to Australia. Dave played his part And kept us in order!! Thank you

The accommodation we stayed in was really nice and they all had great services abd food. The bus driver, Terry and tour leader, Nellie were amazing and were full of information about the areas we visited and stories about happenings and people who lived there. The only thing I didn't like was that there were no name badges so it was hard to remember people's names.

The tour was beautifully planned with a range of experiences, mostly in national parks and including world Heritage Areas I've wanted to visit for decades (Nitmiluk gorge, Kakadu). Our guide was outstanding, one of the best I've encountered anywhere in the world. The driver is also qualified as a guide in the world heritage sites and she was extremely able in both roles. Accommodation is as good as can be expected in remote areas subject to flooding and we were very impressed with the speed of recovery in recently flooded areas. Food at a couple of the hotels was excellent, much higher standard than I expected in such remote areas and it was perfectly adequate everywhere. Frequent stops were planned for rest breaks. All in all a brilliant experience.

The Top End tour was all we hoped for. There were plenty of crocs and the scenery in the gorge and the art work on rocks had special meanings for our group.

Hesitated at nearly a ‘Good’ only from the perspective of the accommodation. Katherine was not as ‘excellent’ as Kakadu - The crocodile hotel and Darwin. Yet we did feel safe and the hotel property beer garden and pool area were well managed. The Tiur excursions were fantastic especially with our great Tour Director Christin value adding to our experiences.

I have travelled with Trafalgar once & AATKings twice & I would go with the company again. The last tour was The Top End of Australia. The coach driver and the tour operator were excellent and worked very hard to make our trip enjoyable.
