About Kakadu Air Scenic Flights
Kakadu is spectacular to look at, but immensely more interesting when on a Kakadu Air flight you receive a running commentary about the things you see, and many that you can't. On fixed wing aircraft flights the commentary is researched, recorded and delivered by long term Kakadu experts, via headsets.

Darwin to Katherine Day Tripper
1 Review
Katherine features on the itineraries of many visitors to Darwin, but reaching the remote gorges and lakes independently is challenging. On this tour, take to the skies on a scenic flight and reach Katherine easily in a day. Soar over the Litchfield National Park, and admire top natural attractions including Roche Reef and Twin Falls. You’ll also have time to take to the waves on a Nitmiluk Gorge sightseeing cruise.
