Darwin
Tropical, laidback and isolated, Darwin may feel like a foreign country if you fly in straight from Sydney or Melbourne. Land of the Larrakia people, yet closer to Asia than any Aussie capital, Darwin combines traditional with multicultural for a truly unique vibe, best expressed in the vibrant Mindil Beach markets. The city is steeped in history, from the customs and stories of the Larrakia to the bombing during WWII, all ready to be uncovered in the museums and galleries around town.
But despite its cultural attractions, most travellers to Darwin don’t come for the city itself, but for the spectacular wilderness just on its doorstep. Our Darwin Tours bring you to visit Kakadu and Litchfield national parks for a real Outback experience amongst the wild scenery of the Top End. Travellers looking for a real connection to the local Aboriginal cultures need look no further than Tiwi Island and Nitmiluk National Park.
Best Darwin Tours & Day Trips
To explore the impressive areas of nature surrounding Darwin, we have a number of day trips departing from Darwin to the region’s top destinations. Our one day trips from Darwin to Kakadu will give you a taste of some of the dramatic landscapes and cultural heritage of the world-famous national park. The One 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. Just 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, visitors to Darwin are also keen to connect with the First Nations Peoples. 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.
