The gorge speaks for itself- towering & majestic ☺️would have preferred less commentary as it took away from the peace & tranquility of the gorge.

My wife and I were the only ones on the tour. Kevin made it really special for us. Managed to see lots of crocodiles. The wildlife was amazing and Kevin was so knowledgeable. Many thanks.

My partner and I had an unreal experience on the Nitmiluk Katherine Gorge Cruise. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, passionate & humorous.

Our guide Russell was awesome: so knowledgeable and highly entertaining! The process of getting us onto the boats and off to walk between the gorge was easy and the river ride was beautiful. We walked to the lookout after the trip and that was spectacular Highly recommended trip !

The tour itself was amazing. However, the information provided before cruise was poor. We were were not told to get there early or that it takes 5 + minutes to walk to the boat. We were also told that no drinks or snacks were provided when they actually were. Boat operator was extremely rude as we were late which was due to no fault of our own as we did allow time to get their earlier and called them also to advise.

The gorges are simply breathtaking, best to do the 3 gorge cruise if it fits your budget. There is some walking and stairs between gorges but that's made easier with man made pathways and railings to assist. Bring your bathers for the swim after Gorge #3 at the waterhole. We were given water and nibbles even though the details said no food provided, a nice touch. We visited 15 years ago and I still loved it the 2nd time.

Was a great cruise and very informative. We had a fantastic guide. A must do. The gorge was beautiful and the short walk between gorges was easy and allowed for some great photos

JOHN_M

Great trip, relaxing …. Walks between gorges were very easy as was climb over to waterfall. Saw a few crocodiles thanks to the eagle eye of our guide.

We have done this before but enjoyed it just as much as the first time with the exception that our kids weren’t with us. The only complaint is with TripAdvisor with whom I booked who gave us no information about swimming on the day,so unprepared.

Wow and wow! So good! If you don't have the local guide, it would be like watching David Attenborough with the sound off! Thanks Jaroyn People for sharing, love your style!
