Kakadu, Litchfield, and saltwater crocodiles in the wild -- the gateway to the Top End.

About Darwin

Darwin is Australia's most tropical capital, and its real value to an itinerary is what sits just outside it: Kakadu National Park's ancient rock art and wetlands, and Litchfield's waterfalls and swimming holes, both within a comfortable day's reach. This is where clients see saltwater crocodiles in the wild, not behind glass.

The city itself has a relaxed, multicultural character built around its harbour, with the Mindil Beach Sunset Market a genuine local institution during the dry season. We use Darwin as the anchor for Top End touring, typically 2-4 nights depending on how much of Kakadu the itinerary allows for.
