Your full day Top End tour from Darwin to Katherine Gorge will see you first stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery, the resting place for many World War II soldiers. Continue to the Adelaide River Inn for a comfort and breakfast stop (own expense) before continuing on to Edith Falls via Pine Creek where there's time for a refreshing swim (conditions permitting).
After lunch, enter Nitmiluk National Park, home to 13 stunning gorges. Stop by the Visitor Centre before joining your guided cruise between the sheer sandstone cliffs of Katherine Gorge. As you glide along the tranquil waters, enjoy commentary from your guide detailing the area's plant and wildlife and explaining the Aboriginal rock art, which adorns the walls of the gorge. Keep an eye out for crocodiles, turtles and the splendid array of birdlife.
You will then begin the return journey to Darwin, making an early evening stop for dinner. Take this opportunity to sample one of the specialties' of the Top End, Barramundi and chips (own expense).
