Begin with a full extended scenic flight over Nitmiluk/Katherine Gorge and Leliyn/Edith Falls, following the Katherine River through towering escarpments and remote sandstone country. Your pilot will point out the iconic locations within both the gorge and at Leliyn Edith Falls including Baruwei Lookout Platform, Southern Rockhole, Jedda’s Rock, Butterfly Gorge, Biddlescombe Cascades and Crystal Falls.
After experiencing the vast scale of the landscape from above, the helicopter descends into a secluded section of the gorge inaccessible by road or walking tracks. With approximately 20 minutes on the ground, you’ll step onto sandstone country to experience the stillness and scale of Nitmiluk from within. This option combines the complete aerial journey with a rare on-ground perspective inside the park.
