Overview
With a true departure from the ordinary, your journey will begin with an amazing aircraft flight south to the breath-taking Katherine Gorge. You will fly over the rugged Aussie Outback, including Adelaide River and Pine Creek. After landing at Australia's top gun facility you will take a short drive to the gorges.
The highlights continue with a helicopter flight taking you to hard-to-reach gorges that are as stunning as they are remote. This life-changing experience culminates with an awe-inspiring 2-hour boat cruise through the gorge, where you will be able to take in every remarkable aspect of the Katherine Gorge and understand its cultural heritage. Take a moment to relax before once again boarding a plane and returning to Darwin.

Why let only the birds enjoy the view?

Had a brilliant day with Captain "Air" Jordan. Sunrise from the air over Darwin was amazing and the day just kept getting better. The helicopter ride above the Katherine Gorge gives a spectacular perspective of the size and beauty not able to be truly appreciated by land. The cruise provides an up close experience of the Gorge. If you only have a short time in the Top End, treat yourself to an unforgettable day.
Awesome, highly recommended

We highly recommend this tour with Kookaburra. It was well organised and very professionally run.
Our pilot Steve was amazing. He was an excellent pilot, entertaining and really made our trip memorable and a fantastic experience with his detailed local knowledge. 10 out of 10!!

Oh WOW! What an awesome and unforgettable experience. There is no better way to experience Katherine Gorge - this trip is an absolute must. Our pilots, Stephen and Bailey are ‘the bomb’. They are exceptional pilots, who are enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable and go out of their way to make your trip special. I highly recommend this trip. Thank you :)
Just do it

Absolutely recommend this to anyone considering it. The pilots amazing, the bus driver / barge guide were very knowledgeable and great company.
Thinking it would be a couple of hours it ended taking up the entire day. 8 hrs
Not disappointed at all. 5 stars.
Exceptional day out!
Published on Jun, 2021
We had an absolutely outstanding day, the helicopter flight over the Katherine Gorge was amazing and then the cruise along the first and second gorge was mind blowing.
The flight to and from Darwin/Katherine was well worth while, made for a wonderful day. Loved brunch at Pop Rocket!
If you have limited time then this is definitely the way to see Katherine Gorge.
