Abundance of choices of how best to see this incredible natural gorge depending on your budget and time constraints. We opted for the Nitnit dreaming, 2 gorge cruise. Owned and facilitated by the local Jalowyn people, we were treated to great commentary, a fantastic walk to see ancient rock art then a brief rock clamber to reach a heavenly place, southern waterhole for a dip in the waterfall pool. Our superb guide Chris made sure we were all able to access the many visual treats on offer. Loved it!

This is a must do on your NT adventure. Take a cruise through the Gorge so that you can really get an idea of how ancient this landscape is. Take sunhat, umbrella, sunscreen and supplies of drink and nibbles - bc of the oppressive heat. Take a camera too. This gorge is majestic and amazing and part of Australia's national treasures.

We did the Nitmiluk Gorge cruise and it was a lifetime highlight. We only did the 1st gorge as it is wet season and the water is very high. Even so it was truly stunning. The lady doing the tour guide thing was knowledgable and passionate. The boat was clean and comfortable. It is incredibly hot so take plenty of water (they have water if you run out). Wear sunscreen and a hat. Dress appropriately. It is stinking. Truly wonderful.

The Gorge tour was very peaceful and the Guide was very informative.Only drawnback it was hot 36 degrees The water looked inviting If in Katherine its a must do Ticked off the bucket list

Beautiful gorges - walk a few hundred meters from the end of one boat ride to the start of the next - and all the while enjoy an entertaining and enlightening explanation of what you're seeing and the history of the region. Must do!

from the friendly staff and the slow cruise up the gorge you get the crystal water with the massive cliffs sharing their images in the water. a photographers ideal spot. the paintings were so appreciative on knowing that they were there before i was born and that they have survived the weathers of time. you can hire canoes/kayaks and do it under your own steam and have lunch or a peaceful swim. there are walking tracks along the top of the ridges. make sure you do take sunscreen water good walking shoes togs and your camera/binoculars. well worth it

The Visitor's Centre at Nitmiluk is full of Aboriginal culture, great shopping and good coffee, all delivered with warmth and smiles. We missed the boat tour so decided to take the helicopter instead. Wonderful ride.Beautiful, strong-spirited country in unexpected blues, yellows and greens after a good rain. The helicopter is small, modern and open at the front so that you really feel part of the scene. We stopped in two remote, spectacular places and were shown precious rock paintings. We were able to swim in a waterhole -- sweet water, no danger of crocs. There were some insects and I would bring repellent next time. The cook at the visitor's centre packed us a hamper for an easy and tasty picnic. Highly recommended memorable experience.

The Katherine Gorge is quite spectacular, made even more so by the Aboriginal guide on the river boat, who will tell you about the way his ‘people’ lived off the plants and trees around you – ‘bush-tucker’ – he will also tell you about the stories relating to the region passed down over many generations of Aboriginal ancestors. If you visit in the hot season, don’t expect to see any crocodiles, it’s too hot for them!! The Katherine Gorge is four long hours from Darwin, be prepared for a very long day out. The ‘half-way’ house has a captive audience and they know it!!!

I've done this tour twice now - and it never ceases to amaze me. The beauty of Katherine Gorge must simply be experienced to be believed. If you can, try a tour as close to sunrise as you can get.The Best time of year to do this tour is actually March-May - after plenty of rain has fallen so you can tour more gorges.Last time I went was end of October and the summer rains hadn't started so there was very little water and couldn't get out of the first gorge. It's all about timing. Don't let that put you off though, you'll still have a magnificent experience and take a million photos! The company is owned by the local indigenous people and their knowledge is second to none. Take a hat and water bottle, you'll need it.

Having lived in Katherine half a lifetime ago ago, it was great to revisit the town and drive past the old familiar places – historic railway station, Clyde Fenton Primary School (named after the original Flying Doctor), Katherine School of the Air (“the biggest classroom in the world”), Knott’s Crossing, hospital and museum– on the way to Nitmiluk, the name the Jaywon people have called Katherine Gorge for at least the last 40,000 years. In past dry seasons my children and I swam in the Katherine River and canoed through several of the gorges and in the wet season saw the river in flood, but this time I was there to see the rock art. As it was the Wet season, the water in the river was muddy, in contrast to the Dry season when it is clear. Before getting into the boat, we were provided with water and pieces of fruit - much appreciated in the heat and humidity. We then set off upriver to the end of the first gorge where we had plenty of time to view a variety of rock paintings. Our guide was knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Those who want to see more of Nitmiluk (there are 13 gorges in this national park) can do the two gorges tour or a helicopter flight.
