We really enjoyed our scenic flight our pilot was great , friendly and knowledgable about the area, despite only having lived in NT for 2 years.
It was lovely to see Kakadu from a different perspective. We had only a short time in Kakadu so this gave us a look around a lot more than we could have otherwise seen.

Had an amazing experience with Ben our pilot. Very happy with the flight over Kakadu wetlands. Ben's commentary and knowledge made for an awesome flight. (thank you Ben!!)
Did try for the 1 hour flight over waterfalls but was not able to secure a booking. So glad we didn't as this 30 minute flight was probably more spectacular.
I am not a good flyer and there was some turbulence; managed to last 20 minutes before starting to feel "green"...lol Would do it again, was an amazing way to see Kakadu.
