Search flights from MGT to MNG
Blyth River Meanders
Incredible serpentine curves of the river system lined with thick mangrove forests.
Coastal Wetlands
Vast floodplains that change from lush green in the wet season to golden hues in the dry.
Arnhem Land Savanna
Untouched tropical wilderness and dense eucalyptus woodlands stretching toward the horizon.
Remote Outstations
Tiny isolated Indigenous communities visible as small clearings in the vast bushland.
Choose the left side for the best geological views of the Top End's river systems. In the wet season (December to April), the rivers are swollen and the floodplains are brilliantly green. Morning flights are ideal as the sun highlights the water reflections in the estuaries without creating harsh glare.

The right side is perfect for those who love coastal scenery and turquoise water.
