Viewing Nitmiluk National Park from above
Nitmiluk National Park in the Northern Territory is a collection of endless rivers, beautiful waterfalls and rocky cliff faces. It’s also home to many species of wildlife that are found in these types of eco-systems. It’s a huge expanse of land area and the view from above is about the best way to capture it all in a few minutes, we’re not talking drone, we’re talking get up there and see it yourself! You can head on a helicopter tour and take in those unreal views, some that you can’t access from the ground.
Take a cruise along the Yellow Water Billabong
The Yellow Water Billabong is one of the most popular wetlands in the Kakadu National Park. The geographical features of its landscape are in total contrast to the famed red centre of the Northern Territory. Whether it’s sunrise or sunset, each setting offers its own unique experience to enjoy. The cruisers come with experienced guides who are more than happy to point out the local wildlife including fascinating birds and some crocodile >> arms and legs inside the boat at all times RatPackers.
Airboat safari across Mary River floodplains
While a safari is not an activity often associated with the Australian continent, a visit to the River Flood Plains in the Northern Territory will make you think differently. Packed with diverse species of wildlife, this region is best experienced aboard an airboat safari. The safari is another unique way of interacting with the local wildlife on a journey that is definitely out of the ordinary.

Our Customers Say it Best
Leo was super helpful providing us with possible alternatives. I think we got a pretty good deal. Looking forward to our travels.
Really great experience booking with RatPack Travel. Sam and Dom were both super helpful, very friendly, and really patient with all of my questions. Dom walked me through all of my options, explained all of the rates and fees, and was great to chat with. Strongly recommend!
Enquired about a campervan and Alex made everything so simple and easy we were booked and organised in less than 24 hours - with a time difference! Very impressed! Thanks again Alex.
Dom was really helpful booking our van. Managed to find a better van for a cheaper price than options we found ourselves online. Friendly and professional service, very hassle free.
I honestly can’t recommend RatPack enough!! 🙌🔥 They completely took the stress out of planning my New Zealand trip and helped me book a campervan at an absolutely unreal price. Like… way better than anything I could find myself 🤯 And I’ve got to give a massive shoutout to Leo, who handled everything for me — he was absolutely incredible. Super knowledgeable, easy to deal with, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I got the best deal possible. Nothing was too much trouble, and you can tell he really cares about making your trip perfect. From start to finish, the whole experience was super smooth, easy, and actually enjoyable. It felt like having travel experts in your corner the whole time. If you’re thinking about doing a road trip in New Zealand (or anywhere, really), do yourself a favour and go through RatPack. You’ll save money, time, and a whole lot of hassle. 10/10 experience – I’ll 100% be using them again!! 🚐✨
Great friendly service from Stefan 👍🏽 Really helpful considering we were undecided on times and dates. Good communication, quick and easy booking process. 🚐
Super fijn én snel geholpen door Leo en Grace. Goed advies, mooie deal, kan niet wachten om te gaan touren met onze gehuurde camper!
I came across RatPack while looking at rentals in Perth and really not sure what I was after, further complicated by being in Sri Lanka with limited service. Leo was outstanding and we agreed a call on arrival would be easier, when he ran through the various options, listened to my requirements and called back with some quotes. Having just one knowledgeable point of contact really worked for me and within 24hrs everything has been arranged and I can relax, thanks Leo.
Seamless experience. From initial call, to booking completed was no more than an hour. Tom was professional and took the time to understand what we wanted. Would definitely use again!
