We visited the gorge when it was out of season and the only access was via a high speed jet boat to pass through the first 2 gorges. Best way!!!! In season it is a slow boat and takes a few hours More

This is a well run operation from Nitmiluk cruises. Our two gorge , two hour tour departed on time . The gorges are fabulous and its beautifully quiet. Yes, it may seem expensive, but when we returned we agreed that it was worth the money. The two gorge tour requires a short walk and change baots, which caused some people... More

once in a lifetime experience. a little tour up the river before the wet season, a few stories, a little hike, a pleasant dinner...expensive but worth it. If we were to do it again I would like to come in an RV and not stay at the ir "chateau". Wallabies bouncing everywhere. Loved it. More

Took a tour down to the first gorge and had a lovely afternoon tea with drinks and scones and cream. Quite expensive but once again you cannot do it by yourself so have to be prepared to pay. $85 pp More

The forest is dense and the Katherine gorge adds so much to this dramatic landscape. It is worth to spend a night or two there if possible. This is free while you... More

The visitor's centre is not bad, with an information section about the geological history of the area and the local indigenous culture, although like many such centres in the Top End, seemed to be insufficiently lit in places. Although food is served at the centre, it wasn't open as far as we can see. Staff service was polite and helpful.... More

If you are in Katherine with the intention of visiting Katherine Gorge - DON"T FORGET EDITH FALLS. Edith Falls is approx. 60 klm north of Katherine in the same National Park as Katherine Gorge but on a different road. This is a lovely little falls with ample swimming facilities. You can swim across to the falls - but be warned-... More
