The first tour was a 1 hour flight over Kakadu, Twin falls, Jim Jim Falls and across the wetlands to the Alligator River. The scenery was breathtaking well worth the cost.
Second tour Yellow waters cruise, the tour guide was extremely good pointing out the tree snakes, ducks, wild horses, crocodiles and various birds, stopping for photo's, turning the boat so everyone could see. and stopping the boat in time for everyone to see and take photo's of the fantastic sunset, all in all a very interesting and enjoyable tour.
Third tour was a Guluyambi Cultural Cruise which started near the mouth of the East Alligator River, which is the border between Kakadu and Arnhem Land. The Aboriginal guide provided an insight into their culture-local mythology, the river's abundant food chain, traditional uses for many plants and animals as well as bush survival skills, which included a demonstration of spear throwing using a womera.
Some photo's have a smoke haze, because at the end of the wet season (which is now) the aboriginal land owners do a control burnoff of the undergrowth, something we could do better, getting rid of the undergrowth in our bush fire prone areas would help.
