Northern Territory Darwin Tours And Holidays

This is a region of the Northern Territory that should not be missed by anyone serious about seeing the real Australia. The national parks in this region are some of the best in Australia.... definitely a holiday highlight.

It is a region dominated by the tropical wetlands of Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land which cover vast areas of pristine wilderness with huge bird and wildlife populations. This is a part of Australia where life is determined by the Wet Season and Dry Season. It's a place where ancient Aboriginal culture and rock art co-exist alongside modern day communities.

The top end is a popular destination for camper rentals and self drive holidays, being a natural departure point for tours south into the red centre and across the Kimberleys to Broome in Western Australia.

The crocodile signs are for real in this part of the world. BE CAREFUL! Visitors should also be extremely careful with beach swimming due to saltwater crocodiles and marine stingers. Always seek local advice beforehand and check for warning signs.
