Darwin \ Kakadu - Scenic flight Info?

I have a friend going up to Darwin in July for a weeks holiday and wants to know about scenic flights out of Darwin. Is it pricey to fly out to Kakadu for a scenic or are there good ones to do just around Darwin.
Any info appreciated, ie prices

Cheers

You have 2 options really.

1. Drive to Kakadu and fly with Kakadu Air.

or Why Drive When You Can Fly.

2. Scenic flight with NAC.
.SCENIC FLIGHT WEBSITE
www.flynac.com.au click on scenic tours and its the NAC 1. Email me and I can offer you a substantial industry discount.

Regards,

HA.

Quick to the mark with a plug HA....

I had a browse at the link for curiousity sake mate. Can I suggest that you change the colour of the text on the flynac.com.au page.

Im not sure if it specific to my browser mate but it came up with black text on a dark blue background and I found it real hard to read....

Just a suggestion.

Must be your browser...

Your name reminds me of a sickedly wickedly way to drink Tequila.

Ever had a Tequila Stuntman?

1 Shot of Tequila
1 Slice of Lemon
1 Generous pinch of salt

Slam down the Tequila, Snort the salt and squeeze the lemon in the eye... (yes I have done it but on a footy trip so i'm excused).

Yeah, I done the tequila thing.........not lately though.

Its got to the point where I can think of better things to spend $100 on that a headache and a hangover. Must mean I am turning into an old fogey.

Java - I went on a scenic out of Kakadu with kakadu air about 2 years ago and it was really quite good. Old Bobs Cd commentary worked a treat

First your friend should find out if the falls (Jim Jim and Twin) are flowing as they do stop on occasion especially after the not so wet season.

Then, you should tell them to take a bus tour (if they are in their prime) or drive if they are younger and during the tour take the Kakadu Air Helicopter ride. It's twice as dear but 100 times more rewarding and scenic (and less spewy) than the fixed wing.

TRUST ME!!!
