Departure Time

6:30 AM
Nestled in the rocky wilderness of Nitmiluk National Park, Katherine Gorge is one of the Northern Territory’s natural treasures. After early morning pickup at your Darwin hotel, travel via comfortable coach approximately 3 hours inland while your knowledgeable guide shares commentary on the passing landscape. Stop to stretch your legs and pay tribute to fallen World War II soldiers at the Adelaide River War Cemetery. 

Once inside the park, take a refreshing swim in the natural rock pool at the base of Edith Falls (weather conditions permitting). Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the serene and picturesque surroundings. 

In the afternoon, embark on a 2-hour cruise down the river that winds between the sheer sandstone cliffs of Katherine Gorge. Learn about the area’s geologic history from your guide, and catch a glimpse of ancient Aboriginal rock art on the gorge walls. Keep an eye out for native wildlife including turtles, colorful birds and even crocodiles sunning on the riverbanks!

Hop back on the coach for a brief tour of the township of Katherine, heart of the Northern Territory’s cattle and agricultural industries. On the return drive to Darwin, pass through the historic gold mining town of Pine Creek and stop in Adelaide Creek for dinner at a local restaurant (own expense). Your full-day tour concludes with drop-off at your Darwin hotel in the evening.

Katherine Gorge Tour

The Katherine Gorge tour was great. Our driver, Neil was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The coach was nice and comfortable. Thank God the coach was air-conditioned..that helps us to cope with the heat and humidity of the top end in NT. The cruise tour guide was great too! We would probably enjoyed it more if we have plan our trip better and visit NT in the dry season. But the natural beauty of NT can't be denied!

This was one of the best tours, that I have ever been on. The beauty & history of the Katherine Gorge is remarkable. Our driver(Neil) was very informative & funny. It was so well organized. Our guide at the Katherine Gorge, was equally as good. Thank you Neil. Apart from the beauty of the tour, you made the day so special.
