What you can expect

Embark on a captivating journey to one of the Top End’s most stunning natural attractions, Nitmiluk National Park. Departing from tropical Darwin in the morning, we travel south along the iconic Stuart Highway, passing through the historic townships of Adelaide River or Pine Creek, and heading towards the charming town of Katherine. Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by an abundance of unique flora and fauna endemic to the Northern Territory. As you relax and enjoy the picturesque landscapes, your guide will offer fascinating historical and cultural insights, enriching your experience of this extraordinary region.

A highlight of the day is the NitNit Dreaming two-hour Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) boat cruise, a must-do experience for nature and adventure lovers. As you journey through the stunning Katherine Gorge, you’ll be surrounded by towering 70-meter-high cliff faces, with the natural sunlight illuminating the rock formations and creating a constantly changing display of colours. Katherine Gorge is managed by the traditional custodians of this land, the Jawoyn people, who have a deep spiritual connection to the land. Their profound relationship with the Gorge and its surroundings will bring the landscape to life as you float through this serene and awe-inspiring environment.

After the boat cruise, we’ll head to the picturesque Edith Falls (Leliyn), a serene spot nestled within the park. *Depending on the timing of the boat cruise, we may visit Edith Falls either before or after the Katherine Gorge cruise. Subject to seasonal conditions, you’ll have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the expansive natural plunge pool of Edith Falls, a perfect spot to cool off after the boat ride. Alternatively, if swimming isn’t on your agenda, simply relax by the water, soaking in the beauty of this tranquil setting.

After a rejuvenating visit to Edith Falls, we’ll continue our journey back, retracing our route through the townships of Pine Creek or Adelaide River. Along the way, you can reflect on the day’s experiences, immersing yourself in the beauty and culture of Nitmiluk National Park. As we arrive back in Darwin, you’ll have cherished memories of a day spent exploring the heart of the Northern Territory, with its striking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and unforgettable natural wonders.
