The Nitmiluk Gorge and 17 Mile Valley Scenic Flight
Unleash your sense of adventure, feel the wind on your face and embark on an exhilarating journey through the vast expanse of Nitmiluk National Park. See the entire Katherine Gorge (13 Gorges) before then exploring 17 Mile valley.
Embark on one of our longest scenic flights and take in the full grandeur of Nitmiluk National Park from a perspective few get to see at all. You’ll fly over the full length of Katherine Gorge before venturing deeper into the remote wilderness of the 17 Mile Valley, most famously explored on foot via the Jatbula Trail. On this flight, you will be able to glide over
areas that hikers reach after days of hiking.
Along the way, your pilot will provide insightful commentary, sharing stories of the park’s geological formations, Aboriginal heritage, and hidden natural features you won’t find on the ground.
