Overview

This full-day tour lasting about 14 hours starts with hotel pickup from selected locations in Darwin. The journey heads south to Nitmiluk National Park, where guests first stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery to see the memorial dedicated to those who died in northern Australia during World War II. Next, the tour visits Edith Falls (Leliyn), where during dry season there is an opportunity to swim in the waterhole beneath the falls. A lunch break follows at the Nitmiluk Visitor Centre, which offers a chance to look at photographs, memorabilia, and traditional Aboriginal artifacts. The main event is a two-hour boat cruise through Katherine Gorge, also known as Nitmiluk Gorge, where towering sandstone cliffs rise up to 70 metres. Passengers can observe freshwater crocodiles, local birds, and the natural environment. The cruise involves an 800-metre walk over uneven terrain with steps to reach another boat between gorges. The coach used for travel is air-conditioned, and a comprehensive commentary is provided throughout the day. The tour concludes with a return to Darwin around 8:30 pm.
