Suggested Itinerary
Day 1: Monday
Welcome to Darwin! Upon arrival, you’ll receive your Travel Gateway Territory Kit, packed with exclusive vouchers for local businesses to help you make the most of your stay.
Take some time to settle in and grab any essentials you might need for your adventure. Depending on your arrival time, why not start your Darwin experience with a delicious meal? Head to Last Supper Pizzeria, where you can use your voucher to enjoy a pizza and a drink—the perfect way to ease into the laid-back, tropical vibe of the Top End!
Day 2: Tuesday
The day is yours to relax and explore. Depending on your chosen adventure, you might head to the waterfront for your 00Seven Adventure and enjoy the many attractions in the area, such as the wave pool, the Royal Flying Doctor Services, numerous restaurants, or simply relaxing on the grass by the lagoon.
If you opted for the sunset dinner cruise with Darwin Harbour Cruises, this will take place in the late afternoon, allowing you to spend the day enjoying the waterfront and Stokes Wharf.
Day 3: Wednesday
Prepare your day bag for an unforgettable Litchfield adventure. Your journey begins with a hotel pick-up no later than 7 am, heading first to Berry Springs Nature Reserve. This reserve offers diverse habitats and attractions, including clear geothermal waters that surface and flow over a small waterfall, perfect for a relaxing natural water massage.
Next, you'll visit Litchfield, renowned for its stunning waterfalls such as Florence Falls, Wangi Falls, and Tolmer Falls. The park is also home to unique wetlands, rugged stone country, ravines, gorges, and fascinating termite mounds created by both cathedral and magnetic termites.
On your way back to Darwin, you'll pass through Batchelor, a town rich with personal stories and historical significance. You'll learn about the impact of WWII, uranium mining, farming research, indigenous education, and the lives of pioneering and First Nation people. You'll return to Darwin between 4 and 6 pm.
This evening, stop by Charlie’s of Darwin where your package includes a small Territory tasting platter and gin flight created by Darwin Distilling Co.
Day 4: Thursday
Prepare for another early morning as the Croc Bus picks you up or meets you at a central location by 7:30 am. Your adventure includes a comfortable ride in their 24-seater bus equipped with air conditioning, opening windows, and plenty of cold water (remember to bring a refillable bottle). Enjoy learning from an experienced and knowledgeable driver, or relax and read fascinating articles about crocodiles in the Adelaide River from the NT News.
The second stop is the highlight of the day: an up-close encounter with crocodiles on a small yet safe boat cruising the Adelaide River. On the way back to Darwin, we'll visit Fogg Dam, a stunning wetland teeming with wildlife, including birds, insects, fish, buffalo, wallabies, and some of the world's largest reptiles.
You'll return to Darwin around lunchtime. Spend the afternoon relaxing by your hotel pool or unwinding at one of the many lively pubs in the city.
In the evening, make your way to the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (open 4:00–9:00 PM), where you will enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with delicious street food, live entertainment, and unique local crafts. Wander through the bustling stalls, grab a famous Darwin laksa or fresh mango smoothie, and find the perfect souvenir from talented local artisans. As the sun dips below the horizon, settle in on the beach to witness one of Darwin’s most spectacular sunsets, creating an unforgettable end to your day.
Day 5: Friday
Your time to explore the top end has come to an end as you will check out and head home.
Or you can add an additional 4 days and do a self drive adventure in Kakadu and Katherine. Let us know if this is something you are interested in.
