Overview
Take a trip to Darwin on your Australia vacation
Both urban and remote, Darwin is located on the tropical tip of Australia’s north coast and tends to pop up only on the more adventurous Australia vacation itinerary. It is a multicultural melting pot, generally friendly and laid-back, with a large natural harbour, best seen from Bicentennial Park which runs the full length of the waterfront. Charles Darwin Park, towering above Darwin with great views of the city, offers another great view.
Vibrant Mitchell Street offers bars, pubs and live music. You can dine al fresco in the Cullen Bay Marina surrounded by luxury homes and sailboats. It's also worth visiting East Point Reserve to see the monsoon vine forest and mangroves. Darwin's connection to nature goes well beyond its name. You can come face to snapping jaws with it at Darwin Crocodile Farm, seeing saltwater and freshwater species.
Three hours away from Darwin is the renowned Kakadu National Park with its wetlands, and multitudinous rock art galleries up to 50,000 years old. These depict animals, hunters and figures of the Aboriginal Dreamtime legend. Thundering waterfalls and escarpments with breathtaking views also define Kakadu, while a boat cruise lets you get close to its wildlife. Close by is Arnhem Land, an isolated reserve surrounded by beautiful beaches and an inviting spot for bird watchers and lovers of flora and fauna.
Book your Australia vacation package today and experience Australia's most northern city on your Darwin tour - rich with Aboriginal culture, tropical climate, and stunning beaches.

Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!
Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around
It might sound cliche, but you really can visit year-round. Australia is a big country, so there is always somewhere with amazing weather!
