1100 Arrive back at Kookaburra Air
Litchfield is one of the Northern Territory’s hidden treasures, and seeing it from the air is the best way to fully appreciate it. Our Scenic Flight will show you the hidden corners of Litchfield, which are largely inaccessible by land. Stunning waterfalls, wetlands and ancient Outback landscapes provide perplexing views that won’t soon be forgotten. Fly over the Darwin River Dam, Famous Rum Jungle Uranium Mine and onto the majestic Litchfield escarpments.
Experience a bird’s eye view of the Magnetic Ant Hills, Cascades, Lost City, and the many majestic water falls including the Florence, Tjenja, Wangi, Tolmer and Sandy Creek Falls. From Litchfield we fly south over crocodile-breeding wetlands of the Daly River to the wide Daly River delta as it spills into the sea. Then we will fly back to Darwin along the remote West Coast via Channel Point, Crab Claw Island and Darwin Harbour.
