Optional Upgrade – Katherine: Nitmiluk Gorge Helicopter Flight

Take to the skies to fully appreciate the scope of Nitmiluk Gorge and all of its unique formations. From above, in all its majesty, it is clear why this is considered to be one of the Northern Territory’s most spectacular sights. 

Your 20 minute helicopter flight will take you over all 13 gorges and venture deep into Nitmiluk National Park. The remote waterfalls and rockpools you will see along the way are simply breathtaking.

Your expert guides will reveal the story of Bula, the most important figure in Jawoyn Dreaming stories. Legend has it that Bula and his two wives hunted across this land and transformed the landscape.

Back on the ground, head over to the Top Didj Aboriginal Art Gallery. Holding a portfolio of artists from the region, the gallery reflects the cultural diversity and influences of the Jawoyn, Warlpiri and Dalabon Aborigines, who have lived in the area for thousands of years.
