Kakadu and Top End Trip List 2008-2009

All trips begin and end in Darwin.

Details of Kakadu trips may need to be changed to fit park management needs that arise from time to time. Trips where the first bookings come in well in advance are less likely to have to be changed than those where bookings arrive closer to the date of departure.

Prices. Many of our costs, especially transport are subject to changes beyond our control. Prices are, therefore, subject to change without notice.

Dates	Trip	Price	Code

2009

Some of the trip notes have not yet been updated for 2009. Other than the dates, they should still give a good picture of the trip. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Prices. The 2009 prices listed below are those we charged in 2007. Many of our costs have risen so these prices will rise. However, anyone booking and paying a deposit before a price rise is announced

• will lock in the old price on any trip where we use our own transport.
• will lock in a price midway between the old and new prices on any trip where we use charter transport.

Top End trips from late December through sometime in March or April take place during the wet season. Click the link at left to find out more about our tropical summer.
