About Darwin

Located off the Timor Sea, Darwin is the capital city of Northern Territory. Though it is the smallest of all Australian capitals, it is the largest city in the sparsely populated Northern Territory. This ‘Top End’ city is famous for its world-class sunsets and incredible natural wonders, both of which are best experienced from one of the Darwin cruises. It is also the gateway to the stunning Kakadu National Park and the Nitmiluk National Park that houses the famous Katherine Gorge. 

Darwin has it all – balmy beaches, relaxing cruises and boat tours, rich Aboriginal art and culture, exquisite galleries and museums and vibrant markets. Darwin Harbour cruises offer a fresh perspective of the city from the water; take it up a notch and join a sunset cruise to watch the sky burst into a hues of orange and pink! The city's close proximity to Asia means you'll also find major Asian influences, especially in the dining scene and lively night markets. 

Hop between natural and cultural treasures as you explore Litchfield National Park, Berry Springs Nature Parks, Tiwi Islands and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). If you’re craving an adrenaline rush, nothing beats close encounters with Darwin’s most famous superstars – the crocs! There are many Darwin boat tours that offer incredible wild encounters with these apex predators, where you’ll be within eyeshot as they leap out of the water, snap and roll!

Beyond the crocs and cruises, Darwin’s rich Aboriginal heritage is on full display at the city’s galleries, museums and streetscapes! There’s so much to do and see in this stunning capital, you’ll be spoiled for choice!
