Nitmiluk Gorge Helicopter Flight, 20 Minutes

Launch into the sky above Nitmiluk Gorge on a 20 minute helicopter flight, tracing the winding Katherine River as it carves through 13 sandstone gorges below. From the moment you lift off, ancient escarpments stretch out in every direction, revealing a scale and grandeur you simply cannot grasp from the ground. Then comes the part few travellers ever reach.

Your pilot sets the helicopter down at the remote 10th Gorge, a secluded pocket of the Territory cut off from every road and walking track. Settle in with a refreshing drink and nibbles as the sun drops behind the escarpment and the rock walls shift from gold to deep amber in the fading light. This is Nitmiluk at its most magical, seen from an angle and a place almost no one else will ever stand. When the light finally fades, you will lift off for the flight home carrying a memory that lingers long after you land. Grab someone special, buckle in and get ready to see the Top End like never before.
