6 Outdoor Food Experiences in Australia’s Northern Territory - AFAR

"The most relaxing way to take in Nitmiluk’s towering sandstone cliffs is on a sunset cruise through its maze-like gorges, sipping champagne as the rock faces change color. The tour includes a three-course, candlelit dinner prepared with Territorian ingredients—such as grilled wild barramundi and filet mignon—while interpreters share the history and Dreaming stories of the Jawoyn people who are the traditional custodians of the land." - AFAR

Where to even start?! Nitmiluk National Park is absolutely breathtaking. The sheer scale of the gorges, the rugged cliffs, and the peaceful Katherine River winding through it all make this place unforgettable. Every corner feels like a postcard – whether you’re cruising along the river, hiking one of the many trails, or simply taking in the views. It’s not just the scenery, but the sense of history and culture here that makes it so special. The connection to the Jawoyn people is deeply felt, and it adds such richness to the experience. This park is a true Northern Territory gem – wild, stunning, and completely awe-inspiring. A must-see for anyone visiting the Top End.

Nitmiluk National Park is an unforgettable stop—we camped there for three nights and had an amazing time exploring the region. We went hiking, kayaking through the stunning gorges, and even tried to spot freshwater crocs (no luck, but still a thrill!). The landscapes are breathtaking and the park is well set up for visitors. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the Top End’s natural beauty.

Cruised through an ancient gorge system. These sandstones in the Katherine Gorge are 1600 million years old. Very sweaty and lots of flies. But still worth the 7 - hour drive overnight trip from TC. P. S. Where the 2007 Rogue crocodile movie was shot and the final pitstop of the Amazing Race Australia 2019.

Did a cruise and absolutely loved it. Our tour guide (a aboriginal man) *sorry didn't get his name* was amazing, telling us about the Gorge and how they believe it was formed, told us about paintings, what the different plants were used for. Fascinating! We are planning to come back in June time so we can maybe see some freshies on the riverbed and would deffinatly like to come back after a good rainy season to see how the water level changes

Really nice experience. Best is Edith falls and the walk to the Sweetwater pool. A lot of things to do and experience, like the Katherine Gorges and the cruises as well as canoeing. Good drives as well, no 4wd tracks and kiosks are equipped on some sites. Recommended to do in the Northern Territory around Katherine.

Relaxing River cruise through the Katherine Gorge. Beautiful scenery and a wonderful Tour Guide full of History and information. Choice of 3 Gorge crossings. Each boat takes you to the next Gorge. You hop off and walk roughly 400 meters to next boat. Definitely worth doing👍👍

The highlight of our trip. Due to wet season, the service was limited. We enjoyed the boat ride to 2 gorges which was breathtaking. The waterfall was incredible to swim in. The walk wasn't too hard afterwards.

Bring a table if you're camping in the visitor centers campground. They have lots of facilities for the glampers, they have a pool and bar as well as clean bathrooms, showers, and even washing machines. There are tons wallabies running around as well as other wildlife. The gorge boat rides are great and whats better than ice-cream at the end of the day... uh nothing and they sure now this because they have it available for you to grab at the pool area or visitors center.
