Perfect way to view this magnificent area The itinerary was phenomenal with so much natural beauty & splendour.
We were taken a bit by surprise when we arrived at our first camp area. Our guide started by asking the younger members of the group to give preference to the mature ones for the lower bunks in shared cabins. Plus top bunks had no ladders. Fortunately our group was smaller & were all able to find some private space. I think these arrangements could have been discussed earlier with options explained. At our 2nd campsite all the tents appeared with swags for everyone.
Overall the pace was very relaxed & enjoyable with plenty of time to enjoy each of the amazing locations we were taken to. I felt we were safely guided through the challenging terrain we encountered at times. Nate provided informative commentary along the way. He was very accommodating to some challenging dietary restrictions in the group. It was a great group that all pitched in to assist for meal & camp setup.

Amazing Experience, With Koolpin Gorge Access Being A Gem I took this tour in August 2026 with the incredible Rhett Ericsen-Miller as a guide. There was nine in the group, which was smaller than the max load, but even if there had been a bigger group, we'd have been fine I'm sure. The tour has several pickup points at hotels around Darwin, I was in Parap so the pickup was at a servo nearby as I don't think Rhett would have appreciated navigating the massive truck and trailer down to my hotel. On that note, hotels in Darwin are pretty cool about storing excess bags while you're out touring.

There were small deviations from the tour itinerary, because of conditions and road closures, so we went to Motor Car Falls as Jim Jim Falls was closed. Not a big deal at all.

Rhett had a tremendous amount of knowledge of Aboriginal culture and the importance of the places we visited, and was able to share that knowledge incredibly well. The way he was able to put a lot of things about, for example, the Aboriginal experience, and contextualize some of the more complicated things one might see in Darwin. All guides in Kakadu National Park are required to complete a pretty intensive course on the Aboriginal culture and the lands, and Rhett was able to tell their stories incredibly well. The tour also visits a cultural centre which adds a lot of that context as well.

The Koolpin Gorge hike, as the tour marketing suggests, is very challenging and not for people without some degree of fitness. There's no real trail, it requires a fair bit of rock hopping, balance, and agility in places, but the reward of reaching the top of the gorge is more than worth it. We were surprised to see a freshwater crocodile in the second pool, but it seemed indifferent to our presence and just carried on with its day.

If you're device dependent, definitely bring a big power bank as after the second night there are limited opportunities to charge devices. Use airplane mode on your phone most of the time, as you won't have any connectivity in most places anyway, and if you do, only Telstra really works. If you've got dietary requirements, pack snacks that work too. I wish I had brought surf shoes for the pools rather than being barefoot.

This was a tremendous experience, excellent value, and the highlight of this trip to Australia.

I could not have put something together like this for myself for less cost, and even then, the value of the guides are priceless.

5 nights adventuring in Kakadu We had a fantastic experience with Territory Expeditions and couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Rhett. He was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining throughout the 5 day trip, sharing fascinating stories and insights into the area and its history. Rhett took us to some incredible Aboriginal rock art sites and beautiful swimming holes, making the experience feel both adventurous and personal. U loved the sing along on the first night and great bed time stories. It was a memorable trip from start to finish, and Rhett really made the experience special. We would highly recommend Territory Expeditions to anyone visiting the Top End. 5 Stars to Rhett, a great character and guide.

Fantastic trip to kakadu and koolpin gorge We had a fantastic time on this tour. Rhett was brilliant throughout and kept the kids engaged and entertained throughout our time in kakadu.

the best tour ever Our tour was exellent! Rhett was a great tour guide, he made a lovely campfire and sang for us all. The food was delicious and the camp sites where amazing. Rhett took us to some very beautifull water holes and we all had a great time.

Amazing 5 day experience Excellent your! Rhett our tour guide was awesome and really friendly! Amazing experience, every day had something new and different. Food was great too. Definitely recommend. Great for families, our kids loved it

Kakadu 5 day exploration An excellent adventure throughout the kakadu national park with our amazing tour guide Rhett leading the way.

There was something for everyone to enjoy from aboriginal art to swimming in pools of freshwater we enjoyed our time on this trip endlessly. The people we were with where kind and welcoming making it easy to enjoy the outback to its full extent and making lots of new friends.

Our tour guide Rhett couldn't have been better telling us amazing stories around the campfire and cracking lots of funny jokes that made us all laugh. He taught us lots about the area and aboriginal culture.

Thank you for an amazing trip.

3 Day Kakadu Tiur Our guide was Lorrie and she was sensational. She demonstrated her love of Australia's land and culture to us during the tour. I never felt rushed and she kept us informed about the trip details.
I would be very happy to do another tour with Lorrie if I am ever lucky enough to return to the Top End.

All around great tour of Kakadu Simon did a very great job making the tour an amazing experience! He is very knowledgeable about the nature and culture of Kakadu, making the places interesting to visit on top of beautiful to see. The length of the 3-day trip was great to see what we wanted to see. There was quite a lot of driving, and the car wasn’t that comfortable, especially with a fully booked tour, but we managed just fine. On the booking it says we can chill at night around a fireplace, which wasn’t an option, but the campsite was otherwise very nice and cozy.

Outstanding experience This was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life. I went with my sister but there were families with young children, older couples and solo travellers so it is suitable for all. We had an amazing tour guide called Jeremy who was incredibly knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about his job - which made the experience even better. We saw so many outstanding places and different wildlife species, and learning about the aboriginal people and the history of the locations was brilliant.

A Fun Adventure We went on the 3 day 2 night tour to Kakadu + Lichfield. We had a wonderful time. Our small group consisted of a variety of ages, including two children, who had a great time. There was a short cruise, walking, rock art, a fire at night, lots of swimming in beautiful waterholes, termite mounds and some 4WD driving to get to these wonderful places. The accomodation was in tentlike structures but comfortable. Our guide, Jeremy, was excellent! So full of knowledge, fun and led the group well.
My husband + I loved every minute of the trip. We would recommend this trip to anyone.

Kakadu - a great experience Great tour - Simon was fantastic - knowledgeable and informative when required. He was very organised, punctual and took us amazing places on the tour. There was enough to do without being rushed and options if you didn't feel like doing all the walks. The meals and accommodation were great.

3 day 4 WD hotel accomodation tour Such a wonderful trip with Rhett. He has an incredible understanding of the land and Aboriginal culture. He was articulate and well organised. We had some great conversations and lots of laughs. Am only sorry didn’t hear you play the guitar. Thank you Rhett for an unforgettable trip

Kakadu 4 wd hotel tour Had an absolutely fantastic 3 day hotel 4 WD tour with Rhett. He was the best tour guide EVER !!! What an informative and caring guide plus sensational photographer
We had great conversations and lots of laughs
along the way. Only sorry our tour didn’t include the guitar
Would highly recommend a tour with Rhett
Thanks
Vicky

Unforgettable Kakadu Adventure We had an incredible 3 days exploring Kakadu with Rhett as our guide. The Corroboree Billabong cruise with “Meatloaf” was a brilliant start, full of humour, knowledge, and amazing wildlife. When our vehicle broke down, Rhett and the team handled it so well that it became a silver lining, arriving at Cahills Crossing at the perfect time to see dozens of crocodiles at high tide. Highlights included Ubirr’s breathtaking rock art and landscapes, swimming at Jim Jim Falls, Maguk, and Gunlom Falls, and one special evening around the campfire with Rhett’s guitar and singalong. Meals were fresh and delicious, the safari tents were comfortable, and the small group atmosphere made the trip even better. Rhett’s knowledge, energy, and care went above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly memorable Kakadu experience.

A wonder-filled experience Our Tour Guide, Rhett, was simply outstanding. It was soon clear that he had a passion for his job! His knowledge was remarkable. We all learnt so much. He was also very supportive and caring. And great fun🙂! It was a very positive and enjoyable experience.
My only recommendation is to provide more protein for breakfast and less sugary snacks.

Great 3-day experience Great 3-day tour covering the highlights of Kakadu and Litchfield. The tour was well designed with driving, swimming, cruising, eating and hiking well planned. Rhett was very informative and entertaining.

Well worth it! Fantastic tour, Rhett was a fountain of knowledge and a great guide!
The camps were well set up, the parks incredible and had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!!

Great trip to Kakadu National Park Did the 3-day Kakadu Tour and had an amazing time with our group and tour guide Rhett! Even though we had an engine failure on the first day, he still managed to get us to all the planned spots with plenty of time. The food was great, and we enjoyed a campfire with music in the evenings. Highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend Had the best time on my Kakadu/Leitchfield tour. Rhett, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant, and entertained us with detailed knowledge of the region, his great sense of humour, his passion for his job and his gift of the gab. The food and lodgings were top notch and we went to the best swimming spots and had so much fun. Highly recommend!

Physically demanding but so worth the effort. So glad I did this trip. Breathtaking scenery. Loved loved loved the opportunity to swim in a new rock pool every day.

Our guide Mishka was awesome. Knowledgeable, patient, funny. The hikes are challenging, requiring a good level of fitness and balance. I wouldn’t have had the confidence to do some of hikes on my own but managed to surprise myself under Mishka’s guidance.

Camps are great with clean amenities including hot showers and flushing toilets. There is Telstra service at the camps and Jabiru but not elsewhere.

My fellow trippers were a lot of fun which also contributed to my enjoyment. You spend a lot of time together so it makes a big difference if you get along.

Highly recommend this trip.

Amazing spots, and best tour guide I had an amazing time on this trip. Especially our tour guide Rhett was amazing. He was very easy-going, and gave us the best stories about history, the sky, view points and how he learned to play songs on the guitar (that night around the camp fire was one of my faves). I also recommend as a solo traveller. There is a bit of a tougher hike on the second day, that I enjoyed. Everyone was able to do it at their own pace which was appreciated. Cheers!

A Kakadu and Litchfield adventure packed tour A fabulous tour with so much packed into the 3 days. Our tour guide Rhett expertly guided us to some amazing places and shared great knowledge of the sites through excellent and immersive storytelling.
Our overnight camping experience had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable but traditional bush camp experience with the added luxury of hot showers.
A great mix of adventure, culture, walking and swimming in these two stunning National Parks We had a blast!

The Great Outdoors with Rhett! A really fun adventurous tour with our awesome tour guide Rhett. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and took us to all the great spots! Plenty of food, great walking tracks (without being too strenuous) and some beautiful swimming locations. The camping was fun and every place we visited was magical. Met some beautiful people and it was lovely to have such a mixed age group that could all have a good laugh and fun together.

Unreal. The tour was amazing! Nate our tour guide was so accommodating, helpful, and overall just really lovely! The camping was so fun and met so many amazing people. I would recommend to everyone - no experience like it. Unreal views.

Unreal time and Nate was the best Nate was the best guide, he made sure to look after everyone so well. His knowledge was amazing and it made us feel so comfortable and safe. He went out of our way to help us. Great memories made for life, definitely recommend. The scenery is unreal!

Best trip and tour guide This tour was amazing, we all had the best few days. Nate was a fab guide, making sure we all got the most out of this experience and was very helpful. We met some lovely people and had so much fun together. I would really recommend this tour, we have loads of great memories and stories to tell now!

10/10!! I had the most amazing time on this tour would recommend to anyone! The scenes were unreal and the accommodation and food was also amazing! Nate was such a great tour guide, thankyou!!

A great tour My 17 year old daughter and I were on the 5-day Kakadu/Koolpin gorge tour in early July. Dan was an excellent and informed guide, and I have no reservations recommending this tour. Jim Jim falls was not open during our tour and we never got to Gunlom falls. Our tour was:

Day 1: Ubirr
Day 2: Warandjan Cultural Centre, Nawurlundja Lookout, Anbangbang Billabong, Burrungkuy (Nourlangie), the Cooinda Lodge, and the Yellow River Cruise
Day 3: Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) and Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole)
Day 4: Jarrangbarnmi (Koolpin Gorge)
Day 5: Leliyn (Edith Falls)

Koolpin Gorge was the highlight of this tour and is sufficient reason to select this tour over others that don’t visit this gorge. The views and swimholes at Koolpin were iconic and spectacular. Our group of 11 were the only people there that day.

Days 1 and 2 were smoking hot, and Dan did a good job explaining the rock art to us, which would not have been nearly as interesting without his commentary. We camped at the Mardukal Campground. This was set-up with a communal kitchen tent, several permanent screened buildings with bunk beds, and several portable tents. The campground had a nice central bathroom/shower facility with hot water and flush toilets. We were lucky and there were few mosquitoes, so we enjoyed the evening around the fire.

On Days 3 and 4 we camped at the Moline Golf Course. This was a bit of a surprise as the Mary River Roadhouse is listed as the camp location on the itinerary, but it’s been closed for quite a while. The Moline Golf Course is outside the park but has its own interesting quirks including the outdoor showers, a resident bull, and has good cooking facilities and flush toilets. We slept on bedrolls in portable tents.

Breakfast supplies were provided and we looked after ourselves in the mornings – except for making coffee which was Dan’s specialty. Breakfast was typically cereal and toast with the option to cook bacon if you felt like cleaning the pan. Lunch was typically sandwiches and vegetables/fruit. Supper changed daily and was stir fry, pasta, and steaks/sausages. The food was good and filling. Dan would typically prepare lunch and supper with help from the guests prepping vegetables and washing up.

The tour was excellent, and my 17 year old daughter who was hesitant to go camping with old dad had a great time. The people on the tour were all pleasant, ranging in age from 17 to ~65. The hikes were challenging, and you should be prepared for multiple short hikes in hot weather on rocky terrain with moderate exposure, creek crossings where you hop from rock to rock, as well as be willing to swim in the wonderous waterholes and sit under waterfalls surrounded by spiders!

A wonderful adventure We did the 3 day Kakadu accommodated tour.
This tour was everything we hoped for with a great mix of lookouts, gorges, swimming and local knowledge all delivered by our guide and driver Adam. Adams local knowledge was very extensive and he certainly made the tour interesting. We had a great group and the accommodations and food were excellent. The only negative would be the bus - although it did the job it needed to do, it was very tired and at times uncomfortable and does need a little TLC. Saying that I would certainly travel with them again.

Topnotch Elliot is a brilliant tour leader. Knowledge and passion about his work shone through as he made sure we were left with unforgetable education and insights. The 4wd vehicle needs updating as its quite loud inside and could be more comfortable - a small price to pay for all we did and saw. Despite some sights being closed we saw and were explained rock paintings from 3 sites. I hope to do Kakadu again one day, I'll pick the same tour and Elliot!

4 night, 5 day Kakadu tour with Dan We had a brilliant time at Kakadu. Dan was incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture and environment. We loved the 4wd, hike & swim formula of the trip, exploring the wild places of Kakadu we wouldn’t have been able to reach without the 4wd and wouldn’t have felt confident swimming and hiking through without Dan. A great group, hilarious adventure and we have a lot of respect for the old tail propulsion crocodiles in Kakadu. The meals were tasty and filling, however it would have been nice to see more use of native ingredients. Would highly recommend this trip. Can recommend the outdoor shower and loo with a view on the final two nights of the tour! Rach & Di

My husband and I have just completed the 5 day Kakadu/Koolpin trip with Territory Expeditions, and were very pleased with the experience. Our guide, Dan, was a bit of a larrikin, but with a wealth of knowledge. We stayed at 2 camping grounds, well away from other groups, and had the option of a tent or enclosed bunk bed cabin. We really did not expect this style of accommodation, but you're going into the bush, right!!!. Sleeping bags with a provided sheet and pillow on top of a thin mattress was adequate but not particularly comfortable.
For future travellers, expect that you get involved in food preparation, dishwashing and cleaning up. Everyone is expected to pitch in. No room for princesses. All meals were prepared by the group at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food was varied and plentiful. Dan stopped at a bottle shop on the way to first overnighter, allowing all passengers to gather ample liquid supplies for the 4 nights. Eskies were kept ice filled.
The tour took us to various waterfalls and gorges in Kakadu. A number of these 1-2 km walks are very tough to negotiate due to the tracks being very rocky and not levelled out for the public. The aboriginal artwork was fascinating to see and understand. Our highlight was the cruise on the Yellow Waters billabong getting very close to crocodiles and birdlife.
The tour caters for 12 passengers. On our tour we were the only couple, with one elderly gent, and 8 single young women. We all got along very well. Hint to any single young men thinking about Kakadu……
Very glad we got to travel to these remote locations, and had plenty of time to relax.

Kakadu/Koolpin 5 day 4WD Safari with Nate Every experience was a highlight on this 5 day camping tour of Kakadu. This tour of 12 was fortunate to have an experienced guide, Nate looking after us. He shared his passion & knowledge of the country, people & culture in a relaxed friendly manner. We visited amazing places only accessible via 4WD & we always felt safe with Nate's driving abilities. At a couple of the water holes, we were the only people there! What a privlege! Thank you to Anthony, who owns & established this tour co, for his continued long standing friendships with Traditional Owners to arrange access to these permit only locations. The accommodation varied from a night in a bed (unexpected but appreciated) to sleeping in dome tents. A few of the group chose to sleep in swags (supplied on request) under the stars. (Tip. Bring an insect net) We loved everything about this tour as everyone helped each other, from scrambling over rocks to collecting firewood & cooking. We came home with so many happy memories, an enriched understanding of Indigenous Culture as well as 11 new friends. Highly recommend you do this 5 day tour if you have the time. We're looking at coming back in the wet season & having toured with other companies in NT, we wouldn't look at anyone else but Territory Expeditions.

Just returned from a 3 day 4WD tour of Kakadu. The accommodation was great, the food was great, the tour guide, Elliot, was awesome. So knowledgeable and very passionate about his back yard and the Indigenous culture. Wish we had booked a longer tour. Can highly recommend

Fantastic tour 5 day Kakadu tour with our guide Nate was fantastic. Went to some fantastic spots and it was amazing we could go to more exclusive spots that the company has special permission to see. It wasn’t too rushed to fit it all in and the camp sites were great. I would highly recommend it

Kakadu/Litchfield with Elliot We went on the 3 day tour of Kakadu/Litchfield. Amazing and beautiful tour of the best there is to offer in the NT. Elliot was very knowledgable and he wanted to get to know everyone on the tour and made sure no one missed out on great conversation and group morale. This trip is perfect for nature lovers and haters because I'm sure the swims at the bottom of the most breathtaking waterfalls will surely change your mind.

Amazing!! We did the 3 day Kakadu tour with Elliot and it was absolutely incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the Indigenous culture and surrounding nature. Even kept us entertained through long drives with interesting information about different sites. The accomodation was such a pleasant surprise, tents set up for us and on the second night we even had beds and electricity! Definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone of all ages.

Kakadu with Elliot - fantastic trip The best 3 day Kakadu tour with Elliot. Camped for 2 nights in Jabiru. Highlights were Jim Jim Falls, the Yellow River cruise and rock art in Ubirr. Kids (16 & 17 years) were well catered for & Elliot was knowledgeable, respectful of the indigenous culture & elders' knowledge and very good company. Thank you so much for an excellent family holiday!

We have just got back from the 3 day 4wd Kakadu tour, Elliott our guide was fantastic he lives and breathes everything Kakadu. He was able to immerse us in the local culture and history. From knowledge of the land, the people, rock art, bush tucker. His passion for the area just added to the experience. As it was the start of the dry season not all areas were open, but we still were taken to off road waterfall locations we would not have been able to access ourselves. The accommodation was amazing, even got treated to be he bonus of an outdoor shower one night, just bliss! There was ample food provided for lunch and snacks and it was great to start the day with a buffet breakfast. Highly recommended.

Firstly I would like to thank Dan for all the effort he puts into this company. You are so lucky to have such a knowledgeable and experienced guide who is so passionate about Kakadu.
I have just completed the 5 day Kakadu/Koolpin trip.
I think Territory Expeditions really needs to re think using an abandoned road house as their accommodation. The amenities were filthy and not at all pleasant to use.
The food on this tour was adequate and we didn't go hungry but it doesn't take much to provide a few basic herbs, cracked pepper and extras like Parmesan cheese for pasta and a roast by the fire would have been fabulous.
Overall I enjoyed our 5 days with a fabulous group of people but would have to think seriously about another trip with your company. Safari Tents were not provided at the second camp making it difficult to sleep when you have a crook back.
You also advertise that the $40 entrance fee is included but we paid on tour in cash?
I think with some fine tuning this could be not just a good experience but an excellent one.

My husband and I went on the 3 day tour to Kakadu and Litchfield. We had an awesome tour guide Dan and a great group of people that toured with us.
It was an amazing experience to see the wild life, waterfalls and immerse yourself in culture. Dan made sure that we saw and experienced Kakadu at its very best- so a huge thanks to him. There was plenty of food and cold water. Make sure you take sunscreen and mosquito repellent.

As Aussies (with environmental science backgrounds) doing an NT tourist trip together, we could not have been happier with our choice of tour company. Our guide Russ was exceptional. We were impressed with Russ’ knowledge of the local indigenous history and culture and all enjoyed asking questions about the native flora and fauna we encountered. It turns out that Territory Expeditions are such a respectful and responsible company that they have been granted more permits than any of the other tour groups operating in Kakadu. That speaks for itself! Russ took us off the beaten tourist track, knew all of the best spots and how to spend the least amount of time in the van while still getting to see everything... The whole trip was well planned and super fun - thanks to a great tour company! Highly recommended for Australian tourists as well as international visitors. I loved it and would definitely go again!!

Stunning trip ran at a brilliantly relaxed pace. Our tour guide Adam was brilliant from start to finish, he kept everything ticking over nicely and there was a great tone to everything he said. Not overboard with detail but willing to provide more if needed. He was also a hero early on as a truck knocked over a petrol pump setting it alight at our first stop off and Adam grabbed an extinguisher and ran towards the chemical fire to put it out(photographed). Adam's passion for the area and it's people was clear throughout the tour. I have zero hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone, 3 days in this truly beautiful place was enough and fitted in nicely to the long weekend. I'll certainly be back for a longer trip.
