Small groups allow for more tour flexibility and personal attention through more compatible guide/group ratios. Small group sizes greatly reduce the environmental and social impacts of tourism on local environments and cultures, while maximising your tour experience. Our private tours allow us to customise your tour program and activities to best suit your personal interests.
EXCELLENT Based on 181 reviews Joan A12/07/2025Verified Memorable family camping trip Many thanks to GT and Charter North for our fantastic camping trip to glorious Kakadu, Nitmiluk and Lichfield Parks. Our three generations loved the delicious meals cooked over an open fire, hiking, swimming in natural pools with waterfalls, sleeping under the starry Southern skies - what could be a better introduction to Outback Australia? GT knows this region so well and organized action-packed days in a variety of memorable locations. We had boat trips, rock art, crocodiles, spectacular views, wallabies, birds - every day new places to explore. We are an active family, so we enjoyed the challenging hikes, especially with a couple of swims thrown in. The big SUV was a comfortable way to travel and we were impressed by the planning and care that went into provisioning the trip. We highly recommend Charter North to anyone looking for a trip in the Northern Territory. If we have the chance to return and do The Kimberley trip, it will definitely be GT we will call. Beth S27/06/2025Verified A Dreamscape Explored and Explained Outstanding! GT was an AMAZING guide, and brought us to places we never would have accessed on our own. His knowledge was deep and endless, and the overall experience was extraordinary. We had toured throughout much of Aussie. Kakadou, beyond a doubt, and thanks to the guidance of GT, was by far my favorite place. A dreamscape I return to often in my mind. Cannot recommend it enough (despite the unrelenting heat and humidity of March in the North End…). GO! You’ll be glad you did. Paul S26/06/2025Verified Inside story My wife and I spent a few days with JT from Charter North and had a great time. We saw, and learned, a lot and would recommend them to anyone who wants to get the inside story of a place. Kerry D07/09/2024Verified Kimberly WA adventure holiday - Bucket List fabulous experience! Fantastic adventure holiday in the WA Kimberly.We were challenged & rewarded every day with memorable & surprising highlights. Our experienced guide was a gifted storyteller, historian, expert on plants, wildlife,cultural sites, navigation of rough terrain & waterways as well as a fantastic mechanic & cook. It was a thoughtfully well organised & well-paced flexible itinerary. We didn't have to worry about a thing- just enjoyed the experiences, scenery and photo opportunities. We would happily travel with Charter North again! Kim_Bruce06/09/2024Verified An Epic Trip through the Kimberley We had an amazing 11 days with GT travelling from Darwin to Broome and would like to thank him for an amazing trip. It was a great experience to be out in the middle of nowhere enjoying wonderful company and being so well looked after. We were so impressed that GT always got us to locations at the best time of day to really get the most out of the amazing destination that is the Kimberley whilst never feeling rushed. GT's knowledge of the area is very impressive!We enjoyed the camping, sleeping in the swag looking at the stars was really something to remember. We also enjoyed a few nights glamping.GT got us safely to the end of an epic journey and for that we thank him.We would highly recommend using Charter North 4WD Safaris if you really want an authentic trip through this wonderful country.Thank you GT! Rhianna J05/09/2024Verified Brilliant trip with Charter North in the NT We’ve just returned from an end of dry season 5 day trip to Lichfield, Nitmiluk and Kakadu with GT and Charter North. We had such an amazing time with GT, who ensured we had an incredibly memorable trip. He was super organised, incredibly knowledgable, cooked great food and had a great sense of humour (very much needed with two teenage boys in tow!). Highly recommend this trip with Charter North if you are considering it and if you are not familiar with the region it is absolutely worth the trip. apo0901/08/2024Verified Best Camping Trip Ever! We had an amazing tent camping experience under the stars in Kakadu National Park, with every detail taken care of by our fantastic guide, G.T. My family of 4 (with two kids, 6 &9), along with my parents, had a fabulous 4 day adventure viewing animals, learning about the people who have been on that land for 60,000 years, seeing stunning landscapes, hiking to remote waterfalls, and enjoying an incredible experience together. G.T. was so easy to communicate with during the planning and really took care of everything. He was incredibly patient with the broad range of ages and hiking abilities of our party, cooked delicious meals over the camp fire, and thoughtfully snuck in a little birthday cake for my daughter that we enjoyed at a waterfall we hiked to.With his 30+ years of experience guiding in the NT, I swear he knew everyone that we ran into in the park. We hope to visit again someday, and Charter North will be our go-to experts! Ian M21/07/2024Verified What an experience! What an unbelievable experience we had on our 6 day Kakadu adventure. The scenery, the hiking, our excellent guide GT with his wealth of knowledge, the cooking and evenings around the campfire.

His knowledge of the area added so much depth to our understanding of the history culture and geology of Kakadu. He timed our visits to Kakadu’s significant sites so we would avoid the crowds. We even had Jim Jim falls to ourselves late one afternoon. GT took away the stress of driving and planning the days so they the whole family could enjoy our 5 days in Kakadu together. I wholeheartedly recommend him
