Finniss River Lodge’s abundance of activities are led by specially-trained guides to ensure a deep and immersive experience to remember. The range of activities on offer are flexible, personalised to your interests and adapt with the feeling of each day, while personalised charter options can be organised in advance. Two shared on-property activities are included each day, as a morning and afternoon experience curated to the day.
Outside of the lodge, a broad variety of ecosystems invite you to wander through floodplains, beachfront, paperbark forests, remnant rainforest, giant termite mounds, and granite escarpment. Explore on foot, in an all-terrain buggy, by 4WD, or in an airboat while cruising upon tree-lined lagoons and natural waterways. While exploring the landscape, be sure to keep an eye out for the incredible range of diverse birdlife, wildlife, and flora that call this unique region home.
Hands-on bush-crafting adventures will invite you to explore the landscape in a new way. Under the guidance of a dedicated survival expert, learn wilderness techniques ranging from tracking wildlife, creating fire from scratch, and sourcing bushtucker that can be transformed into your evening meal by the chefs.
On-property, join the staff in their cattle-station work and learn about the day-to-day activities that make up looking after their herd of Brahman cattle, including exploring the open paddock bull yard, beef preparation, and seasonal cattle drives. End your day with the unique station experience Cows & Canapés and enjoy sundowners in an open-sided buggy, conversation with the station owners and cattle wringers, and the flavours of the Territory served as delicious canapés.
Pre-booked activities that you may be interested in include scenic heli-flights, fishing charters, seeing crocodiles in the wild, and specialised touring into the Greater Top End, including touring through Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks.
With activities ranging from adventurous to educational to indulgent and everything in between, Finniss River Lodge can cater to travellers of all ages and ensure a memorable stay.
