With winter on the horizon it’s time to start dreaming of a Northern Territory get away in 2024.
How does Kakadu, Nitmiluk and Litchfield National Parks sound? How about a dinner cruise on Darwin Harbour with a golden tropical sunset or perhaps dinner at a million star floating restaurant in Nitmiluk (Katherine George).
In 2023 I ran a tour of 18 meetup guests and it was amazing and 2024 looks to be even better with a couple of variations to the itinerary. This tour is scheduled at the very best time to be in the Top End when the days are warm, the nights are cool and the humidity is very low. This is the perfect winter escape from the chills of the south and a perfect mid winter break.
This is a premium tour incorporating all the best of the Top End with a crafted itinerary developed over many years to make your trip truly unique. It is a well paced tour that covers a lot of ground yet doesn't feel rushed with plenty of time on selected river boats, billabong cruises, night dinner cruises and a wilderness indigenous cultural river cruise. And while the 'Top End' and Kakadu is a remote region it is a tour with plenty of time and comfort to sit back and enjoy the location and get a sense of place.
We visit ancient indigenous rock art sites, contemporary cultural centres, visit the waterfalls and rock pools of the Litchfield NP, swim in thermal pools in Katherine and Berry Springs, take breakfast on the beach in Casuarina, dinner afloat passing though the Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge, wine and dine sailing on Darwin Harbour at sunset, and much more.
The tour always begins in Darwin as I like to show people around this amazing northern city a little, a city that is closer to Singapore than it is to Sydney. We’ll spend two nights in Darwin and this year the tour runs clockwise heading straight to Kakadu, then Nitmiluk and Litchfield NP. I call it the ‘Full Circuit Tour’.
This is a popular tour and very well priced compared to commercial tours of the same length. I run this tour only once a year for meetup members and having worked as an accredited Kakadu tour guide for many years I have designed this tour as the most comprehensive tour available, with more inclusions than you'll find in any commercial tour of the region and consider it the ‘Directors Cut’ tour . If you'd like more information or a copy of my digital brochure, please get in contact by dropping me a message here on Meetup or you can call me directly for more information also.

Be aware, bookings are tight in the Top End during the peak season so you'll need to book shortly if you want to do the tour in 2024.
