Best Darwin Tours & Day Trips
Darwin, the tropical and laid-back capital of the Northern Territory, may feel like a foreign country to those who fly in straight from Sydney or Melbourne. Located on the land of the Larrakia people, and closer to Asia than any other Australian capital, Darwin has a unique blend of traditional and multicultural influences. This is particularly evident at the vibrant Mindil Beach markets. The city has a rich history, including the customs and stories of the Larrakia people and the city’s role during WWII, which can be explored through the various museums and galleries around town.

While the city of Darwin has many cultural attractions to offer, travellers often come for the stunning wilderness just outside of it, and rightly so. With magnificent natural wonders surrounding the region, it’s easy to see why. Our Darwin tours take visitors to Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks for a true outback experience in the beautiful landscapes of the Top End region. Those seeking a deeper connection to the local Aboriginal cultures should visit Tiwi Island and Nitmiluk National Park.
Darwin Day Tours & Trips
To explore the impressive areas of nature surrounding Darwin, we have several day trips departing from Darwin to the region’s top destinations. Our one day Darwin tours to Kakadu will give you a taste of the dramatic landscapes and cultural heritage of the world-famous national park. The 1 Day Litchfield Tour from Darwin visits the amazing waterfalls of the Top End, and our 1 Day Katherine Gorge Tour takes you cruising through the impressive gorge of Nitmiluk National Park. Want to see some of the Northern Territory’s most infamous animal inhabitants? Join our Jumping Crocs tour for an action-packed river cruise where you will learn more about these terrifying animals in their natural habitat.
Besides taking in the spectacular scenery of the Top End, Darwin is also a great place to connect with First Nations peoples in the area. Discover the history, traditions, and handicrafts of the Tiwi people on our day trip to Tiwi Island and be amazed by the centuries-old rock art on our Darwin day tours.
