Katherine Gorge Flight from Darwin, with Cruise and Heli Scenic
About this tour
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.

Helicopter tours in Darwin, Northern Territory
Darwin pairs a short flight over its harbour and waterfront with something few other cities can offer: a full-day helicopter and boat trip out to Kakadu's wetlands and Katherine Gorge, two of the Top End's most famous landscapes.
When's the best time to fly?
The dry season (May to October) brings sunny days, low humidity, and the most reliable flying conditions. The wet season (November to April) is hot, humid, and prone to monsoon storms that can ground flights with little notice, though it's also when the wetlands are at their greenest.
What should I bring?
Light, breathable clothing and sun protection year round, since Darwin stays warm even in the dry season.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Darwin have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
