Another bucket list item of Ozzie spectacular places to see and visit. Massive ancient cliffs and a beautiful cruise along the gorge.

Excellent tour. Very long day though and we were only able to do half the Gorge due to the high water levels.

Disappointed with this trip as we'd been looking forward to it. Lack of information regarding swimming, closure of one of the gorges, access to the rock art etc left us feeling somewhat underwhelmed. We understand that this was caused by nature, but it would have been nice to have been informed prior to the trip. Add to that being told we only had 30 minutes to purchase and eat or dinner on the way home compounded our disappointment. Diver/guide Michael was friendly but didn't always seem to be on top of the information about the areas we passed through. Very long day and not sure if it was worth it.

A very enjoyable day .The home made scones,jam and cream at Emerald Springs morning tea and the Barramundi for evening meal were excellent The Katherine gorge was brilliant ,an extremely good day, but very long trip.

Not worth the money, long driving, you see 3 things in that day. Gorge was Very disappointing, no birds, no crocodiles, a boatride with a walk to the second boat because of the level of the water. Very nice driver. Other trips are much nicer.

My wife and I used the reviews section to make our choice and were not disappointed. As previous travellers stated it was indeed a very long day. Our driver Micheal was a very obliging driver, guide and carer with a good sense of humour. We were treated to greenery due to recent rainfalls which he stated was highly unusual for this time of year. When we arrived at Katherine Gorge for our boat trip were not expecting to see so many bats. The only negative for any older travellers who do not or are not able to walk so far is the distance between the two boat trips. Stage 1 travels down the river and there is a considerable walk to stage 2 of the river journey which is the the actual destination. The walk is definintely worth the effort. Water is available but the need to carry and drink water was repeatedly stressed. Very enjoyable and satisfying trip and well worth the money.

A very long day but most enjoyable. Comfortable air condit coach. Cruise on gorge beautiful even though it was 40 degrees. You actually go on a boat get off and short walk to another boat. Scenery lovely. On way back stopped at Emerald springs for dinner. Yummo..i had Barramundi burger.. beautifully cooked. Owner of place a very happy and funny man. Back to Darwin about 9pm. Well worth the trip.

Beautiful, stunning well worth the long day of travel and sightseeing we left the hotel about 06:30, arrived back at 21:30, definitely worth the cost. The guide Geoff was very professional and very informative, which contributed in making the trip interesting, very helpful and he also made sure that all of the tourists kept hydrated. Excellent time management, well organised tour. Boat trip through two stunning gorges was amazing. Nothing fazed him and took everything in his stride. He also had a number of humorous anecdotes to make the long coach trip not seem so arduous.

Worth doing. A very long day but the distances dictate this. Comfortable travel with an interesting guide. The Katherine gorge cruise was awesome. Don't forget the camera.

A must see ,awesome, TV doesn't do the Gorge justice.. a very long day , tour guide Micheal a treasure. Road house where you had breakfast and dinner at your own cost left a lot to be desired......food excellent, service very slow.

A great day although long. The staff from AAT were excellent and very professional. Lunch and commentary were great. Highly recommend.

Long but memorable day we were well informed on the interesting stops along the way to Katherine Gorge.
Review by: polly, July 2017
It is a long day trip. Meet at 6:30am and back to hotel around 8:30pm. We take a long ride to different place, such as edith falls and katherine george. Katherine george is beautiful with different kind of rocks, the cruise is interesting but the weather is too hot, so remember to bring more water. The restaurant for morning tea and dinner is in the same place. Overall, i think the travel takes too much time in transport and it may not worth for those who may also travel to Ayers rock in their trip.

Great experience but a very long day. I would recommend having more time for swimming and for the lunch break to allow time to eat. Not mentioned but you will require money for dinner on the way home.

Tour started late then we played catch up all day with time reduced at each place. Despite a phone call to the company the day before, information re food allergy was not passed on and buffet lunch had nothing left for the last 10 people in the line. No lunch! Tour guide Ray started off in a friendly manner but did not respond well to problems. Had to buy own morning tea and then Dinner...this wasn't in the fine print. Confusion over food allergy again with information not passed on with order...No dinner! We had been on a tour in Alice Springs three days before and were treated like kings and fed all day...it was way longer but we paid less for the experience. Katherine Gorge was well worth a visit but I was disappointed with the service.

Katherine Day Tour was amazing. The cruise to see Katherine Gorge was breathtaking and the 3 hour coach bus ride was worth it. The weather was perfect and our guide was great. The tour included a buffet lunch which was great, and dinner was at our expense which was at a lovely cafe on the way back to Darwin. The only complaint was that we didn't all get the same amount of time to eat our meals for dinner. The cafe needed more staff to cope with a bus load of people.
