Things to do in Darwin

Keep busy with unique Top End adventures.

Crocosaurus Cove

See some of the Top End's crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove in purpose built displays that provide 360 degree viewing of some of the largest Saltwater crocodiles in captivity.

Darwin Harbour Cruises

Darwin Harbour Cruises is a locally owned and operated family business operating cruises of Darwin Harbour since 1996.


To appreciate Darwin's pristine and expansive harbour, step aboard the 25m multi-level catamaran, the 'Charles Darwin' and enjoy a delicious Territory-style buffet on a Sunset Dinner Cruise.

Cullen Bay Sandbar

The Cullen Bay sandbar only comes to life at low tide when the sandbar is revealed and boats land for a game of beach cricket or a BBQ.

Corroboree Billabong

Wildlands Wetlands Safari Cruises provide guided airboat tours and river cruises at Corroboree Billabong. Whether you are gliding across the wetlands on an airboat or cruising on a boat through the waterways lined with lotus flowers and water lilies, this is a part of the Northern Territory that you do not want to miss.

Segway Tours

Segway Tours NT offers an easy fun-filled experience gliding on a Segway Personal Transporter through some of Darwin's best kept secrets and the NT's ultimate locations.


The Northern Territory's wild and colonial sites will amaze you, the history will intrigue you, and for the young at heart, we have tours that will have you showing us your skills while you tour through picturesque coastal reserves on Mountain Bike Tracks. Also on offer are Team building events, beautiful Sunset Tours, remote overnight camping tours and easy great local scenic tours through our amazing Botanic Gardens and pristine beaches.

Darwin Waterfront & The Wave Pool

Darwin Waterfront's cafes and restaurants offer plenty of opportunities to refuel after a morning swim, linger over a luxurious lunch, or stop for a sundowner. Choose from high-end Mediterranean and Mexican restaurants, to more casual cafes and bars - you'll never be too far from an ice cream or a barra burger.

Aquascene

Ever thought of feeding fish in the ocean? At Doctors Gully, right in the heart of Darwin, is Aquascene, where hundreds of fish come to shore at high tide to be fed by hand.

Big Bus Darwin

Hop on for a laid-back sightseeing adventure to discover the best of Darwin, including lush jungle in the Botanic Gardens, exotic street food at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, crocodiles at Crocosaurus Cove and fascinating local history at the Military Museum.
