Over the millennia, the Katherine River has carved three deep gorges into the rocky mountains. There are beautiful tours lasting two or four hours, with detailed explanations of the flora and fauna in English. A hiking trail also leads into the second gorge, where swimming is permitted. The first gorge is never open for swimming, as it cannot be prevented that crocodiles hunt there.
