Nitmiluk Gorge, 17 Mile Valley and exclusive landing

Take to the skies by helicopter and enjoy a scenic flight over the vast expanses of Nitmiluk National Park and make an exclusive escarpment landing within the gorge, giving you the rare chance to step into its timeless beauty and truly connect with the landscape. From there, you’ll venture into the remote 17 Mile Valley, accessible only by air or via the Jatbula hiking trail.

Throughout the flight, your pilot will share fascinating insights into the park’s geological wonders, Aboriginal heritage, and hidden natural treasures that can’t be seen from the ground. Marvel at iconic sights from above, including the Baruwei Lookout, Jedda’s Rock, Lily Ponds, and the Northern Rockhole. In the 17 Mile Valley, enjoy breathtaking panoramas of the Biddlecombe Cascades, wide ochre landscapes and sparkling spring-fed rock pools.
