Incredible two-day tour to Kakadu with Rob. Probably the best experience I've had in Australia, loved seeing the animals, views and enjoying it's unique environment. Rob's tour had such special touches - the breakfast by the billabong was a highlight, especially the warm croissants! Thank you Rob, this will remain an amazing memory in 2020!
