Katherine Gorge Helicopter Flights

HeliSpirit’s award-winning Katherine Gorge helicopter flights give a bird’s eye view of this stunning ancient landscape of gorges, plateaus and waterfalls.

The Katherine Region is an adventurers paradise and is ideally positioned as a base from which to explore the Top End. Located only a couple of hours from Kakadu, Litchfield and Gregory National Parks, the town of Katherine is the central hub of the region. The jewel in the crown of Katherine is Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park. Nitmiluk is at the southern tip of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Here you will find a rugged landscape of sandstone cliffs, spectacular waterfalls and lush rainforest.
