About this experience
What to expect
Travelling south from Darwin in the morning, you will pass through the Adelaide River and Pine Creek townships along the Stuart Highway towards Katherine. Enjoy the abundant flora and fauna unique to this region of the Northern Territory, and listen to your guide’s commentary about the history and culture along the way.
One recommended activity for your day is the NitNit Dreaming two-hour Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) boat cruise. During this cruise, you will pass through towering cliff faces 70m high. The natural lighting from the sun creates ever-changing colours in the landscape and rock formations. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn about the land’s traditional owners, the Jawoyn people of Katherine, and their culture and stories. After the cruise, we will visit the picturesque Edith Falls (Leliyn) region, either before or after the boat cruise, depending on timing.
Visitors are welcome to swim in the natural plunge pool of Edith Falls (Leliyn) and enjoy the surrounding area. Afterwards, the route back includes passing through Pine Creek and Adelaide River, allowing for a relaxing evening in Darwin.
