Tour Summary

Embark on a captivating day tour from Darwin to explore Nitmiluk National Park, one of the Northern Territory’s most stunning natural attractions. Departing from tropical Darwin in the morning, travel south along the iconic Stuart Highway, passing through historic townships like Adelaide River and Pine Creek. Along the way, admire the unique flora and fauna endemic to the Northern Territory, as your expert guide shares fascinating historical and cultural insights.

A highlight of the day is the NitNit Dreaming Katherine Gorge boat cruise, a two-hour journey through the breathtaking Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk).

Katherine Gorge, managed by the traditional custodians of the land, the Jawoyn people, offers a deep connection to the land and enriches the natural beauty of the region.

After the boat cruise, visit Edith Falls (Leliyn), a serene and picturesque spot within the park. Depending on timing and seasonal conditions, you may have the opportunity to swim in the natural plunge pool or simply relax by the water, enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Edith Falls is the perfect place to cool off and take in the beauty of Nitmiluk National Park.

As the day comes to a close, retrace your route back to Darwin, passing through Pine Creek or Adelaide River.
