Alice and Kakadu (Reverse) Tours for Young Professionals and Student Travelers.

Overview

It's time for Vegemite and kangaroos mate! Australia's Northern Territory offers spectacular scenery, picturesque plateaus, wondrous wildlife, fabulous flights over waterfalls, and we even toss in a bit of culture with a visit to the N.T. Museum in the historic city of Darwin. From Aboriginal art to a Territorial banquet and a visit to the Territory's oldest watering holes, we'll see it all and call it a day with a stop off at Devil's Marbles. Not enough? Check out the Territory and Outback - double the days, double your pleasure with the sights and sounds of Down Under.
