The more remote upper gorges of Nitmiluk — accessed by extended boat cruise, kayak, or walking over the rock bars between gorges. The upper gorges are narrower, quieter, and home to freshwater crocodiles sunbathing on rock ledges. Swimming is possible between gorge sections. The upper gorges of Nitmiluk — seen by relatively few visitors — are the most dramatic and atmospheric sections of the Katherine Gorge system.
