What Natalie says about this tour: I highly recommend this trip as an add-on to your independent travel or another larger tour of Northern Territory or Western Australia. It is always impressive how much having a knowledgable guide and driver can be to your sense of `knowing' a place better. Add on to that the natural environment - and having your safety paramount means you get to totally relax into the trip.
