Between each gorge, there is a 500-meter walk which will require you to disembark the vessel before joining the boat in the next gorge. Those who choose not to do the walk can sit in provided shaded area. Those who choose to continue to the next gorge will have the opportunity to see ancient rock art between the first and second gorge during their walk.

Nitmiluk Gorge cruise

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely breathtaking scenery!! The tour guide was fun and very informative. The cruise was just at the start of the wet so there was plenty of waterfalls.

Scenic cruise with a heavenly swim

Published on Nov, 2024

Scenic River Cruise through two beautiful deep gorges. The Skipper was a skillful handler of the boat and told some fun dad jokes. We saw some fresh water crocodiles and had the opportunity to cool off with a wonderful swim (fresh water crocs are small and uninterested in people).

The Gorgeous Gorge.

Published on Nov, 2024

Fabulous guide, so knowledgeable. It was wonderful after viewing the Gorge from the lookout the day before, actually travelling through the two gorges was amazing.
