From the sparkling harbour and WWII history to the city’s Asian-influenced food and tropical outdoor lifestyle, Darwin is an adventurer’s paradise.


Food, Glorious food

Our close proximity to Asia and ocean of fresh catches combine to make Darwin a modern dining delight.

There are plenty of options when dining around Darwin. Savour the flavours at our most superb places to dine out in Darwin. Here, food takes inspiration from our land with local produce such as mud crab, barramundi, Kakadu plm, lemon myrtle and even green ants. 


Sense of adventure 

Step outside your everyday and open your eyes to adventure

See prehistoric crocodiles as they launch from the water to catch food on a jumping crocodile crise. Feel how soft crocodile skin really is as you hold a baby crocodile (with its mouth safely closed). 

Take a scenic flight and see waterways winding through wetlands. Savour a sunset as you sail on the sparkling blue waters of the Arafura Sea on a harbour cruise. No matter what your pace, Darwin has something for you. 


Rich in history

Immerse yourself in the history of Darwin. From ancient Aboriginal Dreamtime stories and the pioneering spirit of the early settlers, to survival stories of WWII, the bombing of Darwin and Cyclone Tracy. Darwin's history and heritage is vast, diverse and captivating in every way.
