Visit Darwin

The Top End of the Northern Territory is best known for idyllic tropical weather with two seasons: the Dry and the Wet. Darwin and surrounding regions enjoy warm weather throughout the year. 

The wet season will be nearing the end in March, but typical wet season weather is still expected such as monsoonal rains during late afternoon or overnight. During this period flooding can occur which can restrict access to parts of the region. While weather conditions at this time of year can restrict travel to some areas, the Top End Summer is a stunning time to visit. Waterfalls tumble, skies host incredible light shows and the landscape turns a lush green.

Clothing: Bring a variety of outfits suitable for both event sessions and leisure activities. Don't forget swimwear if you plan to take a dip in our inviting pools or beaches.

Sun Protection: Stay sun-safe with sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses to shield yourself from the tropical rays.

Rain Gear: Darwin's tropical climate means occasional rain showers. An umbrella or a compact rain jacket will come in handy.

Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important. Carry a reusable water bottle to refill throughout the day.

BOAT HIRE
The Top End is renowned for its world class fishing. It might be the mighty barramundi you're chasing, or the reefs and wrecks offshore for jewfish, snapper, trevally, coral trout and more. If a fishing charter isn't your style, then see the array of boats available for hire to fish at your own pace and in your own time. For boat hire options please click here.
