It was a fabulous day Geoff made our trip a very enjoyable experience. His knowledge of Darwin was very informative and most of all it was fun. I would highly recommend doing this tour. Geoff went out of his way to help us and we learned so much about Darwin and the wetlands. Our dinner at Humpty Doo hotel was so yum. Thank you Geoff for a fabulous day. Sandy and Cheryl.
GYG Traveller Review Oct 5,23
One of the best tours I have ever been on. Geoff’s knowledge, expertise and kindness make that you don’t see the time passing by. He had unparalleled patience when it came to spotting the crocodile he saw the day before, he allowed us to bring back professional photos of the wildlife because of his photographic equipment, gave lots of good advice for visiting the region and its culture. And the idea of offering this tour for a small group makes communication super easy and nice. A big thank you to Geoff and LookAbout Tours!
Trip Advisor Review Jeanette Aug 23
Wonderful experience not to be missed!
This is a new business just started by Geoff and his wife. It’s one of the best wildlife tours I have ever been on – the most amazing creatures in a beautiful peaceful setting with a knowledgeable commentary and a real insight into the local area. The crocodile sighting was unforgettable. The Humpty Doo Hotel is also a great experience of a real Australian pub – just be prepared for enormous portions!

We were so happy & felt so privileged to be part of a friendly group onboard with Geoff as we took the ‘Sunset Fogg Dam’ tour.
Geoff was so informative, his knowledge of the area as well as the local flora & fauna was fantastic.
We saw such an array of Birdlife, Wallabies, Buffalo & even a Darwin Crocodile.
The tour just kept giving as the sunset across the Lilly pads as we set off towards the famous & iconic ‘Humpty Doo Hotel’.
Here we were treated to a great choice of food, generous servings amongst a fabulous atmosphere.
We would highly recommend taking this tour when in Darwin.
Thank you, Geoff, for a terrific tour whilst we were in the top end.

After the sun had set we went to Humpty Doo pub nearby where we enjoyed good beer, Barramundi and the biggest steak in the NT, There was only four guests with Geoff and we really enjoyed having a chat together after the tour.
The following day, Geoff sent us copies of his photos which was a bonus.
We would definitely recommend this trip as a great way to see Northern Territory nature in a small, friendly group.




Thank you Geoff.

Perfect tour for animal lovers of any age. We will definitely use Geoff for future tours when we return to Darwin!















I was extremely lucky in having the tour all to myself and Geoff was very generous with taking photos for me.
The landscape, birds and animals was simply wonderful and the sunset over Fogg Dam was sensational.
The meal at the hotel was delicious and a huge serving, make sure you're hungry!
Thanks again Geoff for a great tour and the photos.
