We had a lovely time on the 2 gorges tour. It was informative and enjoyable for the kids and parents. Stunning landscape. There’s a short walk between gorge one and two. Good to know: The overflow car park for extra cars and caravans is a 5 minute walk from the boat ramp at Nitmiluk Tours Visitor Centre

Katherine Gorge always on my to do list and never disappoints. Did the 3 gorge tour including a swim (although a little chilly). Well organised, knowledgeable crew. Great day out.

We did the 3 gorge tour but could have done the 2 as once you have done one you aren’t really seeing much more. Is very nice scenery and history with the aboriginal people. Good cruise up the river.

Our guide Russell gave us a wonderful insight into the local wildlife, gorge history and indigenous stories with good humour and grace. Wonderful place.

Beautiful scenery good commentary from our guide but the price is very overpriced. Cruised down one waterway then walk to another boat to do the same does not feel good value for $238 for two people.

Had an amazing time on the two gorge tour with my family, Russell was our guide and he was fantastic, funny and knowledgeable. Highly recommend, the gorge is absolutely stunning, we did the first one in the morning and it was simply stunning.
