Experience two of the Top Ends most remarkable landscapes in one extended helicopter journey, departing from within Nitmiluk National Park.

This extended scenic flight combines the dramatic cliffs of Nitmiluk Gorge with the striking contrast of Leliyn’s emerald pools in one seamless 50 minute aerial journey. Experience the awe-inspiring landscapes of Nitmiluk National Park from a perspective few ever witness. On this scenic helicopter journey, you’ll lift off from the Gorge Helipad and glide over a tapestry of deep sandstone canyons, crystal-lined watercourses and ancient rock formations carved by the Katherine River. As the helicopter climbs, the rugged beauty of the gorges unfolds with dramatic intensity—each twist and turn revealing new wonders such as Butterfly Gorge, 8th Gorge Cascades, Yellow Rock and The Amphitheatre.
This extended flight continues beyond the iconic 13 gorges, tracking past serene remote pools like Sandy Camp and Sweetwater before culminating in sweeping aerial views of Leliyn (Edith) Falls —a vibrant contrast to the ochre cliffs and wild bushland. Whether you’re drawn by the geology, the shimmering waterways, or the sheer sense of vast, untouched wilderness, this helicopter flight encapsulates the spirit of Australia’s Top End in one spectacular experience.
