Join this tour and discover the breathtaking Nitmiluk National Park, one of the Northern Territory’s most captivating attractions.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the charming towns of Adelaide River and Pine Creek, where you’ll get the chance to witness the unique flora and fauna of the Northern Territory while your guide provides insightful commentary on the region’s history and culture. 

The highlight of the tour is a two-hour boat cruise along the NitNit Dreaming through towering cliff faces that can reach up to 70 meters high. The natural light of the sun illuminates the area, creating a spectacular display of colors that transform the landscape and rock formations. You will learn about the traditional custodians of Nitmiluk, the Jawoyn people, during the cruise. 

After the cruise, you’ll make your way to the picturesque Edith Falls (Leliyn) region. If the weather permits, you can take a refreshing dip in the natural plunge pool of Edith Falls (Leliyn), or simply relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. 

As you make your way back through Pine Creek and Adelaide River, take in the quaint townships en route, and enjoy the rest of your evening in Darwin. 

Please note that the visit to Edith Falls (Leliyn) will be either before or after the Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) boat cruise, depending on the boat cruise timing.
