Gove Harbour

• Summary
• Weather for Gove Harbour

Set in the picturesque Arnhem Land region of the NT, Gove Harbour has become a favourite stop-off point for scores of interstate and international yachties cruising the Top End coast to Darwin, the Kimberley, the Arafura islands and exotic places beyond.

Diving is a popular pursuit here, with the abundant colourful coral outcrops in the crystal clear waters offshore from Gove and its adjacent islands attracting increasing numbers of scuba and snorkelling stalwarts.

Opportunities exist for drift, deep and multi-level diving. Nhulunbuy has two well-established tour operators offering diving tours and short courses.

Access to this remote location is much easier; it could once only be reached by air and sea for all but a few weeks in the middle of the year.
