Darwin

Darwin is nirvana for adventurers. Here you'll find a history-drenched harbor landscape, the tropical lifestyle you’d expect of an outdoorsy culture and some of the most awe-inspiring natural treasures you're likely to find.

You can do it all, any way you want to. You can join a fishing charter to experience the Mary River Wetlands, or take a cruise. You can marvel at majestic waterfalls and waterholes, or go on a four-wheel drive with the world’s most beautiful flora as backdrop. Or walk through the incredible Litchfield National Park.

Dine like royalty at Hanuman, Pee Wee’s at the Point, Char Restaurant or il lido waterfront kitchen, to name a few.

There are only two things you need to know about Darwin weather: the wet season and the dry season. The wet season is from November to April, and is characterised by humidity levels in excess of 80%, followed by monsoonal rains and storms. Temperatures range from 25°C to 33°C.

The dry season is from May to October, and is characterised by warm, dry, sunny days and cool nights. Temperatures range from 21°C to 32°C, and humidity levels are between 60% and 65%.

The dry season is the best time to come to Darwin and try out the activities we’ve recommended below – it offers more opportunity to explore the more remote areas that are often off limits during the wet season.
