Overview

One of our most popular tours, the NitNit Dreaming Two Gorge Tour departs several times a day with our passionate and knowledgeable guides.

Cruise through the first gorge alongside limestone escarpments before reaching the transfer point where a short 400m walk will lead you to another boat waiting to take you into the second gorge.

Along the way, cultural guides will share their knowledge of plants, animals, dreamtime stories and culture. You’ll see spectacular geographical features, local wildlife, and abundant vegetation.

No matter how many times you do this tour, you’ll never tire of the ever-changing landscapes, the spiritual connection to the land and its people and the stories our entertaining guides share with you.

A beautiful way to spend the morning

We did the 2 gorge cruise and it was beautiful. The tour guide was a local Indigenous man who was very knowledgeable and generous in sharing in his culture and people’s history.

“It’s hard to point out a favourite part in Nitmiluk National Park as it’s all gorgeous but, Lilly Ponds always seems to catch my eyes.”

“Nitmiluk National Park is my favourite place to be in general.
I enjoy spending my days off at the Gorge swimming in the rock holes, enjoying the lookouts or taking a relaxing boat drive with one of the guides.”
