Nitmiluk Scenic Express Helicopter Tour Fly Over 3 Gorges

A 10-minute helicopter flight over Katherine Gorge and its three main features, departing from the Nitmiluk Gorge helipad. You'll see the landscape from above — Jedda's Rock, Butterfly Gorge, and Lily Pond — offering a different perspective if you've already explored the gorge by boat. Suits anyone wanting a quick aerial overview without lengthy commitment or demanding fitness.

Darwin Cyclone 30 Minutes Helicopter Tour

A 30-minute helicopter flight over Darwin that covers the city's key landmarks and coastal geography from the air. You'll gain aerial perspective on how the city sits within its landscape — useful context before exploring on foot. Minimum two people per flight. No transfers included, so you'll need to arrange your own way to the helipad, though public transport options exist nearby.

Nitmiluk Sunset Helicopter Tour with Landing

A 40-minute helicopter tour of Nitmiluk Gorge's 13 sandstone gorges, with a landing in a remote spot for sparkling wine and nibbles. You'll fly at sunrise or sunset over the Katherine River, seeing Baruwei Lookout and Butterfly Gorge from the air before touching down to take in the landscape on foot. Seasonal operation May to October. Suits anyone after an aerial perspective on the Top End without needing technical climbing or water skills.

4x4 Litchfield Park Adventures

A full-day 4x4 exploration of Litchfield Park with swimming at natural waterholes, walks through rugged landscapes, and stops at heritage sites. You'll travel in small groups (maximum 6 per vehicle) across remote tracks, visiting Sandy Creek Falls, Buley Rock Holes, Florence Falls, the Lost City trail, and Blyth Homestead. Suited to travellers with moderate fitness who want to see the park's natural and cultural highlights without a crowded coach experience.

Nitmiluk Park Sunrise Helicopter Flight

A 20-minute helicopter flight over Nitmiluk Gorge at sunrise, available only during the Dry Season. You'll fly over all 13 gorges following the Katherine River as light hits the sandstone escarpments. The flight takes in hidden waterfalls and remote terrain, giving you an aerial view of the park's scale and geology that ground-based tours can't match.

1-Hour Thunderball WWII Adventure Jet Skiing in Darwin

A one-hour jet ski tour through Darwin Harbour focusing on WWII shipwreck sites. You'll cover historical locations at speed with a guide providing context on the wrecks and their significance. It's designed for those after an active experience with historical substance rather than a leisurely cruise, and the pace and physical demands mean it suits confident swimmers and those comfortable on jet skis.

Segway the FULL base of Uluru

A 5-hour Segway tour that circles the entire base of Uluru, combining the novelty of motorised two-wheelers with guided walks and commentary on geology, Indigenous culture and natural features. You'll start with sunrise viewing and breakfast, then spend the main portion circumnavigating the rock on Segway before exploring Mutitjulu waterhole on foot. Hotel pick-up and drop-off included; National Park entry fee is separate.

15-Minute Uluru & Resort Postcard Helicopter Flight

A 45-minute helicopter flight centred on a 15-minute aerial tour of Uluru, with views of Kata Tjuta. You'll be collected from your resort, fitted with headsets, and guided through the flight by a commentary pilot. It's suited to anyone wanting a high-vantage perspective of the Red Centre's most famous landmark without hiking or lengthy ground-based exploration.

Best of Uluru & Segway

A 4–5 hour guided tour combining two ways to experience Uluru: a walk through the sacred Mutitjulu waterhole and Aboriginal rock art, a Segway ride around roughly a quarter of the rock's base, and the Mala Walk through ancient caves. Hotel pickup and drop-off included. Suit you if you want a mix of cultural and active sightseeing, though you'll need moderate fitness and a decent sense of balance — Segway isn't for everyone.

Early Morning Ballooning in Alice Springs

A 4-hour hot air balloon flight over Alice Springs' outback landscape, starting before dawn.

Hooked On Barra - Land Based Barramundi Fishing

A guided, land-based barramundi fishing experience on a stocked dam just outside Darwin on the way to Kakadu, running 2 hours. You'll fish from the shoreline with provided tackle and local guides on hand — no boat or prior experience needed. The floodplain setting means you'll spot crocodiles, buffalo and other wildlife while casting. Suits families, first-timers and anyone after a straightforward catch without the logistics of boat-based fishing.

Freshwater or Saltwater Barramundi Fishing Day Trip from Darwin

A full-day barramundi fishing trip departing Darwin at 5am, returning at 5pm.
