Explore the natural beauty of Katherine Gorge on this day tour. Discover the lush gorges of Nitmiluk National Park. See the dramatic Edith Falls and Aboriginal rock art. Cruise through Katherine Gorge among freshwater crocodiles, wonderful bird life, and amazing scenery.

Start your day early with a morning pickup from your hotel and head to the wonderful Nitmiluk National Park and Katherine Gorge. Along the way, stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery—a site dedicated to those killed in the air raids in Darwin in the 1940s.

Continue to Edith Falls, where you have time for a refreshing swim in the waterhole, fringed with paper-bark and pandanas beneath the falls.

After a picnic lunch, enjoy a 2-hour scenic cruise through Katherine Gorge, with a chance to see freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of the river. Enjoy the amazing scenery around you and spot bird life unique to this area.

On your return journey, take a brief tour of the town Katherine, the hub of the region's cattle and farming industries. Travel via Pine Creek, a historic gold-mining town, and have a quick stop at Adelaide River before returning to Darwin.
