6 tours available

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.

Choose from an 8, 12, 15, 20, 30 or 45 minute flight over Katherine Gorge. They all show you a different perspective of this network of gorges carved into the earth’s surface. The longer flights show off Arnhem Land and the Jatbula Trail as well as 17 Mile Falls and 17 Mile Creek.

The Katherine office and departure point is at Lot 5449, 1425 Gorge Road, at Maude Creek Airfield, Katherine, Northern Territory.

HeliSpirit is situated outside the Nitmiluk National Park. Therefore if you are travelling with pets, you can come and fly with them, leaving your pet in the shade near their parking area whilst you fly.

Our position at Maude Creek is perfect as the flight path follows the river leading in to the Gorge. Soar over the escarpment to the rising ranges, fly across the river to the 17 mile valley before reaching Nitmiluk.
We fly on the northern side of the gorge to allow passengers on both sides of the helicopter great views of the gorge. We fly with the doors off the helicopter for better viewing, but if you prefer, we can easily put the doors on.
Please note that some waterfalls are seasonal.
