Fabulous way to see the glories of Kakadu from a different angle, especially if time is somewhat limited. Flight out to Jabiru was accompanied by a knowledgeable commentary, the pilot banking over significant areas to ensure both sides of the plane could see well. Transferred to the ground segment, again with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Although time in the gallery was a little limited because of air-control delays out of Darwin (beyond the control of operators!), we did not miss the important things - time at Ubirr, fascinating rock art, gorgeous landscapes and the cruise on the river was great. Our Aboriginal guide was friendly and kind, and took great care sharing his culture with us, including language. (Take some cash as locals also do art down at the river.) The packed lunch was fresh, cool (!) and delicious, carefully packed to minimise non-recyclables. Water and sunscreen were constantly on offer in the heat. flight home was smooth, despite the cloudbank, and we were so happy NOT to be facing 3-4 hours in a coach to get back to Darwin. Thoroughly recommend!
