Katherine Gorge/Edith Falls - 1 Day Tour from Darwin

Darwin City, Northern Territory

Our initial destination at Adelaide River will be the second-largest war cemetery in Australia, a peaceful site dedicated to honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Following our time in Katherine, we will set off towards the entrance of the remarkable 13-Gorge system, leading us to Katherine Gorge, nestled within the stunning Nitmiluk National Park. This natural sanctuary boasts a rich diversity of rare and endangered flora and fauna, making it an ideal spot for both nature lovers and thrill-seekers. Prepare for an enchanting two-hour boat cruise that includes a brief hike, allowing you to witness ancient Aboriginal Rock Art nestled within the gorge system. As you soak in the serene beauty of the gorges, you will be surrounded by majestic cliffs that soar up to 70 meters high. Keep an eye out for Freshwater Crocodiles lounging in the sun and kingfishers skillfully hunting for their next meal. Additionally, a visit to Edith Falls (Leliyn) offers the opportunity to either take a leisurely walk or enjoy a refreshing swim in the inviting pool. This area is truly a unique gem in the Top End and is an essential stop during your visit to Darwin.
