Good to know
This tour suits active travellers aged 13+ who want to see Kakadu's crocs and rock art without a multi-day stay. You need at least moderate cardiovascular fitness — the walks are not light strolls. Pack one day bag (5–7 kg max); there's minimal storage on the coach. Children 6–12 qualify for discounted fares; under 5s aren't suited due to walking demands. Weather and park closures can trigger route changes, especially during traditional ceremonies, so check seasonal temperatures and pack accordingly. Meals are not included except for buying lunch locally. The optional crocodile cruise costs extra. Not suitable if you have poor cardiovascular health.
