Tick off a true bucket-list experience with a visit to Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls in Nitmiluk National Park, one of the Top End’s most breathtaking destinations. Departing Darwin in the morning, we travel south along the famous Stuart Highway, passing through the townships of Adelaide River and Pine Creek on the way to Katherine. Along the journey, take in the diverse flora and fauna of the Northern Territory while your guide shares fascinating cultural and historical commentary, setting the scene for the incredible landscapes ahead.
The highlight of the day is the NitNit Dreaming two-hour Katherine Gorge cruise, where towering sandstone cliffs rise 70 metres high and the ever-changing light transforms the colours of the gorge walls and rock formations. Along the way, hear the stories and traditions of the Jawoyn people, the traditional custodians of the land. Depending on the timing of the cruise, you’ll also visit the stunning Edith Falls (Leliyn), where you can cool off with a swim in its natural plunge pool or simply relax by the water (seasonal conditions permitting). After a day immersed in the beauty and culture of Nitmiluk, we return via Pine Creek and Adelaide River, arriving back in Darwin for the evening.

Katherine Gorge is an extremely famous national park in Australia. It has 13 different places to visit, awesome swimming spots everywhere you look. The best thing to do in my opinion is a river cruise that takes along the Gorge, relaxing whilst looking at the beautiful rock formations and swimming holes. This tour includes the cruise!
Edith Falls is a wonderful waterfall located around 3 hours way from Darwin CBD. If you enjoy fresh water swimming, rock jumping and beautiful serenity, Edith Falls is one not too miss.
Katherine Gorge is around a 4 hour drive from Darwin, hence why it is a full day tour. However it is totally worth the drive to see the beautiful waterfalls and rock formations!
The best places to visit in the Northern Territory are Kakadu, Katherine and Litchfield. We usually recommend spending around 5-7 days in the area to try and hit them all. Kakadu is the biggest and can take 3 or 4 days to see all the best spots
