Top Darwin Air Tours

Spend an action-packed day exploring two national parks in the Top End: Nitmiluk and Kakadu. Fly round-trip from Darwin to Katherine Gorge, then hop aboard a helicopter for a scenic ride.

Carved out over millions of years, the majestic natural landscapes of Kakadu National Park have a scale that can only truly be appreciated from the air. See sights that can’t be reached by land as you soar through the skies in your own private fixed-wing aircraft. During the wet season, admire plunging Jim Jim Falls and Twin Falls; during the dry, soak up the rugged formations of Arnhem Land.

The vast wetlands, towering termite mounds, and dramatic waterfalls of the Litchfield National Park are even more spectacular from the air. On this tour, take off from Darwin and soar over the park’s natural wonders on a scenic flight. Flying not only lets you explore further in a short time but also affords views of areas inaccessible by land. See the Darwin River Dam, the Magnetic Ant Hills, the Cascades, the Lost City, Sandy Creek Falls, and more.

Then, fly south over the crocodile-breeding wetlands of the Daly River to the wide delta as it spills into the sea.
