Here you can walk through 'The Lost City' onto the 'Garden of Eden' where you will see spectacular views of the 100meter high sandstone walls, weathered rock domes and many species of plants. There are accommodation options available just outside the National Park to suit any budget.

Can’t recommend a tour with Christine and Peter more highly. Their hospitality and knowledge were a highlight of the trip. Learnt a lot about traditional farming and food production, medicine, weaponsAnd culture. Also a chance to learn about more recent painting techniques and beadwork. They were happy to answer any questions I had and getting a sense of the landscape through their lives and culture change the way I experienced the rest of my trip.

What an amazing experience we had on this tour with Simon & Rob! From the moment they picked us up in Alice, they were so friendly, accomodating, knowledgeable & fun! My partner & I were travelling with family and Simon & Rob went above and beyond to be inclusive to all the needs of the group (vegetarian, walking arrangements etc). We also had the most wonderful group & really jelled together to make a tour family which made the trip even more incredible. We are only sad that the tour ended so soon, wish we could have stayed longer! Simon & Rob had abundant knowledge on all aspects of the N.T, the food was delicious and plenty, the many experiences such as the campfires & walking tours were incredible and really added to the overall experience. We truly enjoyed our experience & we hope to book a Kakadu tour soon with Simon & Rob ! Thanks again guys :)
