Yes, our tour had a very large (maybe 50 liters) esky water cooler in the vehicle which was filled with water and ice each morning. We all filled our water bottles from this throughout the day. Once at the campsites tap water is safe for drinking.

Yes there are shower and toilet blocks.

It depends the time of year you travel. We went 3rd week in June & Parks had not long opened them. You don’t want to risk swimming in the wet season or when the National park workers don’t deem it safe as there is big risk with crocodiles. Suggest you google info from Kakadu wild life parks.

Sorry I think I posted the wrong itinerary... I did both however this one is more expensive as you go on a day tour (with another company who has the permit to travel into West Arneham land) & have a private tour guide with one of the local elders. You can then purchase some of their art from the cultural centre. I would have loved to buy more & these pieces are unique & this opportunity also. I would HIGHLY recommend to go on this rather than visit Jim Jim falls. Negotiate a far price if you can as we were on a tour that initially had budget & middle price (budget were upgraded not enough booked) they went for 3 days, left us then 4 of us travelled for the next 2 days. The other 2 only did Jim Jim falls & ours was an extra $300 which I feel you can try here for a different price as the actual tour company who take you leave from Darwin where you leave from Kakadu. Hope this all helps.

Hi Phil, you should have pre paid the balance of the tour before you go. The only thing extra you may have to pay is the National Park fees. Contact Way outback via their chat or email & get them to include the fee prior. There are opportunities to buy snacks, coffee, alcohol & souvenirs etc. along the way especially the Indigenous art, books. I got caught with not buying a couple of books when I saw them thinking I could get them in Darwin. I also bought some ointment with multi purpose use that is made from natural ingredients & love it. The days we found very busy so we were happy to get sleep at night rather than socialising as you can do that on the bus.

Yes, you can charge in the Kitchens each night or morning. We took Power packs, just in case.

Yes you can - there is power in the tents at 1 of the campsites and the kitchen area in all sites has power
