Kakadu day trip with Autopia Tours. Long day but broken up really well with lots of stops.

Danni was an amazing guide!! She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic - she made it a really incredible day. Even on the longer drives, she would stop to show us wildlife she had spotted and tell us about the history of the land. So the time flew by. Thank you Danni!!

For someone who wants to experience Kakadu in one day, yes I recommend this tour

This tour starts at around 7.30am and finishes at about 7.30-8pm. Duration of tour is about 12 hours. Highlight of this tour for me is the jumping crocodile and Ubirr to see the history of Aboriginal painting. The tour guide explained and pointed out the painting. Did this tour in October, the weather is really hot, about 40 degrees. If you can’t handle warm and hot weather, need to consider another month. Please bring 1.5L water. For someone who wants to experience Kakadu in one day, yes I recommend this tour.
