Jawoyn Rockart Tour

A Scenic Journey Into the Cultural Heart of Nitmiluk

Lift off from the helipad inside Nitmiluk National Park and track across the full 13-gorge system, following the Katherine River through towering sandstone escarpments and remote country.

Beyond the standard scenic route, the helicopter continues deeper into the gorge before descending at a secluded Aboriginal rock art site of cultural significance. Here, your pilot will guide you through a series of ancient rock faces, offering insight into the stories and enduring presence of culture within this landscape.

This experience combines dramatic aerial perspectives with respectful, on-ground access to a site few visitors will ever reach.
