壮大なニトミルク国立公園とその世界的に有名な峡谷システムを体験する方法はたくさんあります。

歩いたり、泳いだり、乗ったり、カヌーをしたり、ボートに乗ったり、飛んだりできます。

砂岩台地を歩くと1時間から5日かかり、峡谷やその他の風景の壮大な景色を眺めることができます。 62 kmのジャットビュラトレイルのように、モンスーンの熱帯雨林、石の国、高地の沼地、森林、川など、ニットミルクの風景のほとんどを取り入れているものもあります。短い散歩はそれほど多様ではないかもしれませんが、常に壮観です。冒険好きなライダーのために、マウンテンバイクトレイルも利用できます。峡谷でカヌーを雇うことも、自分でカヌーを持参することもできます。ヘリコプター飛行と同様に、峡谷システムの商業的に運営されているクルーズが利用可能です。

12月から4月にかけての荒れ狂う川の流れは活動を制限する可能性がありますが、常に何かすることがあります。水泳とカヌーは通常、6月から11月までのアクティビティのみですが、ファーストゴージでは利用できなくなりました。利用可能なクルーズは、雨季と乾季で異なります。 Leliyn(エディスフォールズ)は、一見の価値があるNitmilukのもう1つの壮観な部分です。 Leliynは、キャサリンの北約45kmのスチュアートハイウェイからアクセスできます。

キャンプや公園での散歩は非常に人気のあるオプションであり、訪問する前にオンラインで予約する必要があります。特に人気の高いジャトブラトレイル。
