We spent a wonderful day with Northern Territory Bird Tours, with Greg and Kyffin. Darwin itself (versus a long drive outside) has plenty of parks and open spaces, full of amazing bird life, and even resident wallabies! This tour was the highlight of our stay in Darwin!

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Northern Territory Bird Tours (also known as Indigenous Tours) for our first trip to Australia! As nature photographers, we were eager to focus on wildlife, especially birds, and we were lucky to have Greg as our guide. Not only is he an experienced photographer himself, but he also knows exactly how to tailor the trip for photography enthusiasts.Greg’s years of experience as a national park ranger made us feel completely safe while exploring the wild, and his deep knowledge of the land made the whole experience even richer. Plus, he brewed the best coffee right in the middle of the bush ????On top of all that, Greg is simply a great person to be around—warm, friendly, and easy to talk to. Thanks to him, our trip was unforgettable, and we highly recommend Northern Territory Bird Tours to anyone looking for an incredible nature experience.

Amazing Birding Tour with excellent, experienced and friendly guides My wife and I booked this birding tour with Northern Territory Birding Tours because it seemed to best choice out of several we found in Darwin. We highly recommend them as the best birding tour company we've ever birded with ever. Greg, a highly skilled naturalist with amazing experience, knew everything about the birds in Australia. Both our guides were avid birders and Kyffin is also an expert Bird Photographer.

NTIT is the best tour company in Australia! Tess, Greg and Brock provided us with two days of genuinly interesting experiences in Litchfield NP as well as the excellent Awu Mukmuk birding tour. We are at best casual birders and this day tour really generated great interest to continue. Also joining us on the tour was Kyffin who along with Greg is a superb photographers and gave me useful tips on how to best photograph bird life. Wonderful memories and life long friendships made.
