Journey south from Darwin on a full-day tour to Nitmiluk National Park, home to the famous Katherine Gorge. Travel along the Stuart Highway, passing through Adelaide River and Pine Creek, as your guide shares insights into the history, wildlife, and culture of the Northern Territory.
The highlight of the day is the optional NitNit Dreaming two-hour boat cruise through Katherine Gorge. Glide between towering sandstone cliffs that rise up to 70 metres high, with sunlight casting ever-changing colours across the rock formations. During the cruise, learn about the traditional custodians of the land, the Jawoyn people, and their rich culture and Dreamtime stories.
Depending on the schedule, visit Edith Falls (Leliyn) either before or after the cruise. Surrounded by rugged landscapes, the plunge pool here offers the perfect opportunity for a refreshing swim and scenic relaxation.
After exploring Nitmiluk, begin the return journey to Darwin, once again passing Pine Creek and Adelaide River. With approximately 780 km of driving and 1 km of walking, this tour is designed to showcase the very best of Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls in a single unforgettable day.
A great introduction to the Northern Territory, the views were incredible, the Gorges were amazing and we loved the fact that we had the opportunity to have a swim. Leigh was so knowledgeable, he talked about geology, wildlife, history. The drive was long, but the information we received made the time fly by. We’re very thankful to the guides for making that long journey for us.
Charlotte & Moggie were informative and knowledgeable, kind and professional .Katharine Gorge is the star attraction and deservedly so.well worth the journey
Robert, our guide, was very passionate and knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. It was a great tour but a little long.
Great tour and great tour guide. Danni was most informative and went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed our trip.
Absolutely amazing. The cruise along Katherine gorge was spectacular. The mid afternoon swim at Edith falls was refreshing. This tour has been the highlight of our NT trip thus far.
Really great tour, it’s a full 13 hour day which I was a bit apprehensive about but it was well worth it. The drive down we saw lots of wild animals. Dani our guide was phenomenal and had a lot of knowledge to share. The gorge was beautiful and the swim at Edith falls was awesome too (bring a pool noodle or floaty if you can!) Make sure you also bring snacks, a hat, sunscreen etc because it can get super hot in the gorge!! Aircon in the bus was great relief. A highlight of our NT trip for sure!
thank you to Ethan our tour guide, he was lovely and knowledgeable and answered all our questions and kept the day fun, bit on the expensive side for what you do but it is far away all in all we had a good day thank you
