Two gorge cruise run by the Traditional Owners from the Katherine District
First class tour run by the local traditional owners of the Katherine region. The tour guide a young First Nations man from the Katherine, made the so enjoyable, his knowledge of the gorge and its importance to the traditional owners was amazing. He shared his culture throughout the cruise. Highly recommended.
Great experience worth every moment of it! Will buy again
Easy access to the jetty (remember to park in the jetty carpark not the visitor centre one to avoid walking an extra 500 meters!) and check-in procedures, the voucher from ExperienceOz works like a charm. I did call prior to confirm though. Great facility at the jetty waiting area, also the ramp down is easy access for my elderly mum who has mobility issue. Cruise was terrific with a very happy and knowledgeable guide/boat skipper. He's constantly stopping the boat and even reverse for us to have a closer look at any crocs at the bank and take photos. Plenty of photo opportunities in both gorges and the walk between is well marked, mostly paved/stepped and or matted.
What you can expect
Begin your morning with a boat cruise through the breathtaking Nitmiluk Gorge, as golden sunlight lights up the ancient sandstone cliffs. With a passionate local guide on board, you'll be immersed in rich cultural stories of the Jawoyn people and learn the significance behind the Aboriginal rock art high on the gorge walls. As the boat glides gently through the water, keep an eye out for unique birds and other native wildlife that call this landscape their home.
On the way back, you'll be treated to a delicious breakfast served onboard while taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings. Whether you're a nature lover, a cultural buff, or a keen photographer, this peaceful river cruise will offer something for everyone. It's an unforgettable way to explore one of the Northern Territory's most iconic natural treasures.

The scenery, story telling, total experience was outstanding
The cruise was outstanding. The tour guides story telling was totally absorbing. The scenery through the gorges is breathtaking, and, we saw 2 lazy crocodiles sunning themselves. I cannot say enough to encourage people to do this cruise. The walk between the gorges is along well constructed walkways.
