About this activity

Take a trip across the secluded waters within Nitmiluk National Park with a launch tour boat jetty and canoe hire located adjacent to the boat ramp in this 292,800 hectare National Park, which is also superb for exploring and hiking. Canoes can be hired at the Gorge by the hour, half day, full day or overnight.

A safe public swimming area is provided in the picnic area. Information on the flora, fauna, geology, walks, activities, and other points of interest can be found in the Nitmiluk Centre at Katherine Gorge.

There are two types of camping in the Park. You can stay at the permanent campgrounds at the Gorge or Leliyn (Edith Falls)where there is plenty of car parking, tent and caravan sites. Powered (Gorge only) and unpowered sites are available. Elsewhere in the Park, bush camping areas have been established for walkers and canoeists who intend to stay overnight. Toilets are provided at some camping areas and a source of water is almost always available nearby. Check at the Nitmiluk Centre first.

A helicopter ride is one of the most exciting ways to see the gorge system. A 12 minute flight will take you as far as the sixth gorge, where you can experience a magnificent view of the Arnhem Land Plateau. Flights of 25 minutes include the whole of the gorge system. The helicopter takes three passengers at a time with a minimum of two people so make sure the camera is charged! See Nitmiluk Tours for informaiton on this.
