About the operator
- David C00Amazing day with Awesome Guides can’t fault itJust finished an amazing fun packed and adventurous day trip with these guys. Will our guide was on it from the get go and provided us with great commentary throughout. Our trip on the Adelaide river with the Captain was sublime and we got to see some amazing wildlife and crocodiles 🐊 in their natural habitats and that too was a massive thrill. Can’t fault the company. Lots of nice food and snacks provided and the swims around various water holes were scenic and just lovely. Thanks guys and good job 👏👏
- Elizabeth M00An outback adventureWe were out with Will for 14 hours, what an amazing fella. Knowledgeable, hilarious, upbeat and so patient. Waterhole, creeks, superb lunch, snacks and good loo breaks. Incredible trip on the Adelaide River with Damo was terrifyingly exciting as we were lucky enough to see some salties. I learnt so much from both blokes. Fantastic day, the bush has a tad of my heart. Thank you. Milly UK
- leannerM7174OH00Great day!It was fantastic from pick up at our hotel at 6am to drop off back to the hotel at 5pm. Will was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about all things bush and entertaining and engaging. He pulled over a couple of times and gave us information on certain trees that are poisonous or eatable for bush tucker and also to get pics with a termite mound. He showed us how to make fire using sticks and told numerous entertaining stories about his experiences in the outback which are many and varied. On the boat with Damo we spent over an hour searching for crocs on the Adelaide River. Damo, like Will knows his stuff and he did his utmost to find us some crocs even though it is wet season and the crocs are showing little interest as it is breeding season but Damo persisted until he spotted us a couple of crocs. We also had a plentiful and tasty lunch of salad and cold meat wraps and watermelon with snacks offered throughput the day. All up it was a helluva day that will be remembered always. Thanks Will and Damo 👍🏼
- Harold E00local is not always betterJoey, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. However, there were serious problems with the tour: our bus broke down, and we did not get back from Darwin until 3 hours later than planned. An 11 hour day turned into an utterly exhausting 14 hour day. There’s always the possibility of some very unusual circumstance, but I think it’s fair to say that for a professional tour company, driving only on paved road, it is most likely that either the bus is not well-maintained or that it is so old that it is not possible to keep it well-maintained. As noted in other reviews, the bus was older and not that comfortable. The first seat my wife tried was broken down, but fortunately, the bus was not completely full, so she was able to move to another seat.
- Michael C00Great day out at Litchfield NPThe entire trip from start to finish was a great experience. Our lunch provided was excellent. Our tour leader Will was very informative and had a great sense of humour. Always great supporting family businesses 😀
- WilliamOrp980010/10! ⭐️Our experience out at Lichtfield was one we’ll never forget! Our tour guide Joey was super friendly and very knowledgeable, gave us great insight to the local fauna, area and aboriginal culture. Dylan was our guide for the river cruise and he was charming and charismatic, was a such a great laugh! 10/10 to both guides 100% recommend anybody considering going to Lichtfield to use this tour!
- Maria P00Awesome day at Litchfield!This was a fantastic day out! Will was our tour guide and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great host. He made the day enjoyable and was an absolute great guy. My wife and I would definitely recommend this tour to others. An action packed day at a relaxing pace.
- Pagimp00Lichfield day trip with jumping crocs cruise,great guide Joey, very knowledgeable about Darien and local flora fauna friendly entertaining helpful and culturally aware.
- ChrisY4900Great day out in LitchfieldRecommend this tour to anyone that is interested in swimming spots in their 1 day tour. Damo was our tour guide and he was knowledgeable and made the tour really good fun with his humour (sometimes politically incorrect, so be warned :P)
- V222DTmargaretb00Wonderful experienceIncredible day full of so many interesting facts and beautiful simple healthy lunch with snacks along the way. Well worth every cent. We loved it all.
- Joanne H00Great tripThe best part was Will, our host for the day. He was interesting, informative, funny and engaging. Trip had plenty of food, stops.
- O9337MQsuzanneh00Litchfield Escapes ExperienceDarwin has sure been an amazing place to visit, beautiful and exciting. Today's tour with Will, Damo & Dylan sure didn't disappoint! The guys were knowlegable & funny while showing this raw experience of nature and wildlife at its best. Highly recommend!
- N9682BVcathyc00Exciting AdventureWonderful day with small group. Will the tour guide was friendly, flexible, well organised, knowledgeable and funny. The days activities were well paced. The lunch was delicious and fresh. The Adelaide river croc cruise was awesome. The Buley and Florence waterholes were fantastic swimming experiences as was viewing the majestic Wangi Waterhole. Highly recommend this tour.
- Q1758LSlesleyl00Nature at it's best.Brilliant day out with Will the Tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, gave us a good laugh, took us to some unique spots that other big tour buses cannot get to, kept us well fed and watered throughout the day and can highly recommend to future adventurers.
- 349danielleu00Awesome one day adventureWhat a fantastic way to spend a day in the NT! It’s an early start but well worth it to be first on the Adelaide River to see the crocs as the sun rises! Damo and Dylan found the big Crocs ! As well as the beautiful soaring Kites. Then it was off to the falls ( via a roadhouse with a BCE toastie I highly recommend ). The scenery was spectacular and the swim at Florence falls was breathtaking! Will is an awesome guide - informative / friendly and great sense of humor. Lunch was amazing - fresh salad ( and lots of choices ) and meats and more condiments than I knew existed. There were snacks galore throughout the day …. And cold water on tap ! Highly recommend for anyone visiting the top end

Jumping Crocodile cruise was amazing and we saw a few crocs including a large male jump out of the water. Tour guide Will was extremely knowledgeable and gave us a lot of local information. The waterholes / falls were wonderful

This was one of the best day tours I have done in Australia! Early start but so worth it as once we were at Adelaide river we were the only boat out. Overall we saw 8 crocodiles which for mating season is extraordinary! Damo captained our boat and was incredibly funny but also great at ensuring that everyone was able to see the crocodiles and get enough photographs.
After this we went to Litchfield National Park and visited numerous waterfalls and swimming rock pools which were all beautiful and offered opportunities for swimming. Will was our guide for the day and he was so funny, very knowledgable and kept everyone upbeat.

Awesome tour. The tour guide was definitely the highlight, he was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. He talked almost non stop on the bus journey bout really interesting local facts. Very impressive.
2nd highlight was the crocs. We went in the down season so had the river to ourselves and only seen a couple but we stayed out in the water a lot longer than planned to get the best chance.
Litchfield was also cool to go swimming in and lunch was great!

We couldn't wish for a better day!
The tour ran like a well oiled machine.
Will (Russel Coight haha) & Damo were amazing guides. So knowledgeable about all things to do with crocs and the NT. Damo found a big male croc for us to view in the river and it was amazing to learn about these incredible adaptable animals.
The stories we heard were entertaining and funny. Lunch was great as well.
The scenery at Lichfield was amazing and the swims in the waterholes were so refreshing.
This tour comes highly recommended.

Yes it is a long day but there are lots of time out of the bus doing things. It is an adventure day swimming, looking and learning. The guide was very good at catering for many different age groups and their interests.

Hi is the tour suitable for my elderly mum? She's a little unstable on her feet. 🙂

Hi, the tour had an option for an easy walk when there was lots of steep stairs. We are able bodied but the heat put us off the steeper climb, the alternative was a very short walk to a beautiful area where we dipped our feet in the water to cool off. I think she'd be ok, the other spots from memory were fine if she can manage short walks and slight incline. There were elderly people on our tour who seemed to cope just fine :)
