"What an amazing experience. I purchased this flight for my wife’s birthday. At 91 years old this was a once in a lifetime adventure that we will never forget. We loved viewing the stunning Katherine River, gorge and Edith Falls from above. Highly recommend."
Ian Bruce
"Experience of a lifetime! From the jump, Sonam was super friendly and accommodating, setting the tone for a great experience. The tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Amazing knowledge about the Katherine gorge with insane views throughout the entire 20 minute helicopter tour. Could not recommend it enough!"
Patrick Kerrigan
"Unreal opportunity to see the Katherine gorge from the air. The pilot was great and full of knowledge. Definitely recommend a flight."
Liz Pederick

"What a spectacular flight! Views were particularly superb as the wet season had begun, waterfalls were flowing, and the landscape was beginning to look lush. Our pilot was fantastic, making us feel at ease and giving us insight to the landscape. The route was thoughtfully picked with consideration given to views and timing. Super fun! Highly recommended!"

Emily Toogood

"The tour was incredible, not only because of the views, also for the information the pilot shared with us. A different way to fully experience Nitmiluk. Thanks"
Marco
"All were perfect, friendly pilot, amazing views, fresh swim in an amazing natural pool with a big water fall. The sensations of the helitour were awesome, thank you so much."
Laura Furne
"The whole experience was just magic. The weather decided to behave, the water was warm, the picnic conversation was deep and meaningful. And to make the experience incredibly memorable was our awesome Chopper Pilot Supreme, the delightful Ollie. He was very professional, gave a very concise safety speil, was very knowledgeable of his surroundings and made us both feel incredibly safe. There was a big age gap between both his passengers and he was very astute in his awareness of our abilities and made the experience for both of us so top notch. This experience is up there with all my travels around Australia. Many thanks for the opportunity."
Yvonne Smith
"The scenery is stunning. Seeing the landscape from above is a great way to appreciate the beauty of Nitmiluk National Park. I'm so glad we included the 17 Mile Valley with the Nitmiluk Gorge tour. The best part was seeing all the waterfalls flowing with so much water. I'd recommend this tour to anyone."
Jodi Fenton
"It was sublime, surreal and bloody brilliant. Ollie was friendly, professional and a great pilot to have on our trip. He made the whole thing even better, by his attitude, conversation and knowledge."
Shari Luckhurst
"It was amazing, such a special experience to see that part of the land from above especially with a lot of water around. My friend and I loved it. Ollie was great at giving commentary about the area. Will definitely be back! Thank you."
Lidia Allen
"Incredibly professional and personable pilot, 'Ollie'. Knowledgeable and informative, and obviously enjoyed his role and the environment in which he works. Incredibly beautiful place."
David Roe-Simons
One of the best experiences of my life. So good to see Katherine Gorge from the air. Pilot and ground staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. We felt very safe and comfortable with them.
