Flying

See all the Northern Territory’s famous land formations and attractions by light aircraft or helicopter on an air tour over this unique landscape. Pilots will take you just about anywhere you want to go, including Uluru, Katherine, the Gove Peninsula or the Olgas.

If you want to see an ancient reptile in its natural habitat but don’t want to get too close, an aerial tour may be the thing for you. Flights over Katherine Gorge can include crocodile spotting, and you may also see other wildlife like water buffalo or wild donkeys. Some helicopter operators have tours based around spotting for crocs, so keep your eyes open!

If you thought Uluru looked big from the ground, wait until you see it from above! This huge red monolith rises 348 metres above the surrounding plain making it a sight to behold. Flights in this area will also take you to the spectacular Olgas, 36 rounded domes that look like a congregation of strange creatures meeting on the desert plains.

Fly over unexplored regions of Arnhem Land on a flight around the Gove Peninsula. See long white beaches, green forests and the place where the Gulf of Carpentaria meets the Arafura Sea. The untouched beauty of this area means that it remains a rugged gem of the Top End.
