Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Customer Service at its best

Sep. 2023 • Friends

From the onset, Nick greeted us with a friendly manner, we had a change of plan and nothing was too much trouble. His recommendations for the time of our helicopter flight were accurate and we were treated to 30min of glorious views of Kakadu in a comfortable fashion with informative easy to understand commentary. Nick was always very professional with a considerate manner and we felt very safe in his capable hands. Thanks Nick and we wish you well. Helen and Mandi

Kakadu from the air

Sep. 2023 • Couples

We booked 1.45 min flight that was 1.15 mins too long! Cramped conditions, bumpy flight and humid, do not recommend this flight ever!

The Best in The Top End!!

Jun. 2023 • Couples

An absolute must if you come to Kakadu! Our pilot Junior was nothing but amazing and made the 1hr scenic flight better than we could have imagined. As it was just 2 of us we got an in depth tour while also being able to converse freely with him about his experiences! He was super knowledgeable and wish we could have kept flying around!

Must Do for Kakadu

Apr. 2023 • Couples

We had an awesome day. Recommended you stay in Jabiru overnight otherwise it is a 5 hour round trip to Darwin. The flight was excellent and very informative. Big shout out to the pilot "Junior". He made us feel very comfortable and was a wealth of information about the Kakadu. This is a must do to get any real understanding of how big Kakadu is. Great day!

Amazing experience

Jan. 2023 • Couples

We had a brilliant flight today with Daniel, he was friendly and put us at ease straight away. We opted for the one hour flight which felt just right, you see so much in that time. Daniel provided very informative commentary throughout the experience, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend a flight with him!

Kakadu from the air

Oct. 2022

A flight over Kakadu is a fabulous way to understand the diverse geography of the area. We chose the 1 hour flight which took in the escarpment into Arnhem Land, Ubirr rock, East Alligator river, Cahills Crossing and the wetlands. Our young pilot, Nathan, assisted us to feel secure in his hands, letting us get accustomed to the experience of the light plane prior to banking for improved views. Nathan has an evident love and respect for the area and was very informative. Highly recommended.

Once in a lifetime

Sep. 2022 • Friends

We wanted to experience Kakadu from the air and decided to go with Scenic Flights. It was an early start at 7.30am but well worth it. We arrived early and got to leave early. You need to be aware that it's a small plane so only 6 seats and it can be difficult for taller people. I'm 6 feet tall and our pilot Nathan accommodated my height. The benefit of a small plane is that the views are everywhere. We travelled over the stone country, Arnhem land, East Alligator River and lots more. We even went down to 500 feet over some parts of the flight. This was amazing and we loved this experience. Once in a lifetime opportunity. Nathan was also fantastic as our pilot and guide. I would highly recommend this flight.
