Nitmiluk 13 Gorge & 17 Mile Valley Tour

This longer flight starts by flying the entire 17kms of sandstone gorges that make up the breathtaking Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge. Once exiting the mouth of the gorge we’ll venture further into the untamed wilderness of Nitmiluk National Parks and fly along the eastern escarpment of 17 Mile Valley. Here we’ll track the Jatbula trail and visit the campsites alongside crystal clear spring feed rock pools and cascades. These remarkably pristine waterfalls flow year round so you won’t miss out if you’re visiting during the dry season (May – August).
