2010 Best Ecotourism Operator

Gecko Canoeing wins 2010 Ecotourism Australia Gecko Awards Best Ecotourism Operator

The award is heralded as ‘the best of the best’, we are just very happy for the acknowledgement that what we do is leading the way in ecotourism experiences.
Gecko features in Best 20 Tours in Australia.

Organised tours have a mixed reputation. Some are good, most are pretty bad, others are downright ugly. The real trick is knowing which ones are brilliant. Gail Liston hits the road to bring you 20 Top Tours from around the country – plus a few weird and wonderful extras for good measure.

A true wilderness feel while you walk through the remote gorges, woodlands and waterways of Kakadu or Nitmiluk National Parks. 5 Days has you away from the marked trails and roads which so many visitors use whilst experiencing the magic and beauty of Kakadu/Nitmiluk.

At the end of day 5 we will drop you at your accommodation in Katherine so you can become reacquainted with your soft, comfortable bed (you might miss the stars though!).

Day 6 will give you the opportunity to visit Nitmiluk Gorge on a 2 hour cruise, take in the amazing art, the sheer cliffs and the grand presence of the place. Then spend another night inside before being picked up for the next leg of your journey. Get the blood flowing back into your arms again and enjoy 6 days of serenity floating downstream on the Katherine/Flora and Daly Rivers.
