Darwin is the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory and is well known for its incredible sunsets, hippy atmosphere, and close proximity to stunning national parks and nature spots.
In Darwin, you can take things as fast or as slow as you like. From bushwalks and suburban markets to being submerged with saltwater crocodiles, it really is your choice in this modern, tropical city.
A trip on the calm waters enjoying the tropical breeze is a must-do for any visit. Sit back and enjoy fiery-red sunsets while sailing the harbour on a classic pearl lugger, catamaran, or seacat, Champagne in hand.
Seeing one of these 4.5m giants jumping from the water right next to your boat is something else. So is swimming in the ‘Cage of Death’ at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin’s CBD.
Go Barra Fishing on the Mary River Wetlands or Corroboree Billabong
A metre-long slab of silver (Barramundi) haunts every fisherman’s dreams. And in Darwin, dreams come true – on tours, in your own chartered boat, and even off the shoreline or jetty.
Try the Didgeridoo Hut, showcasing and selling original, authentic Indigenous artwork; the galleries in Parap; the Museum and Art Gallery of the NT or walk the shoreline in the company of a Larrakia guide to see this country through indigenous eyes.
