The 3 areas visited were fabulous. The falls at Wangi, Florence and Edith all had different aspects that made them appealing, the Yellow waters wetlands cruise and the Katherine Gorge cruise were amazing. Ubirr and Nourlangie rock art a highlight. Food varied from average to superb, but that’s part of being sometimes in some very remote areas. To have had some top quality food on offer in the lodges and on the gorge cruise was very impressive. Accommodations were fine, again, it’s the situation. The standout in this respect was Cicada Lodge in Katherine National Park (though despite food quality there being generally top notch, their food service wasn’t great).
Smokey was an excellent tour guide, the guided bushwalk was fun and interesting and he really knows his stuff! Loved the whole day. Nothing was too much bother for Smokey.
We have recently done a rock 2 water 6 day Alice to Adelaide tour. (Started 7th Feb 2018) The whole experience from start to finish was first class. Shane the tour guide was fantastic.His knowledge was exceptional on all subjects and he kept the whole bus entertained, with his information and stories. His attention to detail enabled the trip to function without a single hiccup and the travellers in the bus gelled as a result.We felt safe at all times and the only disappointing aspect was finishing the trip and saying goodbye at the end.Thanks Shane and Groovy Grapes for a memorable 6 days.
