Nitmiluk Ultimate Adventure
Experience Nitmiluk National Park from every perspective – a full scenic flight, cultural landing, remote swim and a picnic in a half day helicopter journey.
ift off from our helipad inside Nitmiluk National Park and track across some of the Top End’s most striking landscapes. Your flight extends beyond the 13-gorge system and across the expansive 17 Mile Valley, where layered escarpments, waterfalls and deep sandstone country unfold beneath you.
Along the way, wildlife sightings such as brumbies, buffalo, cattle and birdlife are possible depending on conditions.
Touch down at a remote Aboriginal rock art site for a guided cultural landing before continuing to a secluded natural rock pool for a refreshing swim. A scenic picnic with food and beverage is included, allowing you time to relax within this remarkable setting.
The journey concludes with a full aerial track over the entire 13 Gorge system — revealing waterfalls, cascades and sweeping sandstone escarpments from above.
This is Nitmiluk experienced from the air, on the ground and in the water.
