Kakadu National Park is a vast and ancient natural reserve in Australia’s Northern Territory, about three hours from Darwin.

Home to diverse wildlife and over 5,000 Aboriginal rock art sites, Kakadu is a UNESCO World Heritage site that offers a deep connection to both nature and Indigenous culture. It's a place where you can cruise through crocodile-filled rivers, hike to panoramic lookouts, and learn about the world’s oldest continuous living culture.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.
