For those with limited time, we offer short tours in and around Darwin itself. The East Point Reserve and Military Museum, the Aviation Heritage Centre, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the Casino, historic Fannie Bay Goal, Fish Feeding at Doctors Gully and the Crodylus Park Research and Education Centre are all very popular. Just minutes from the wharf, there is also a choice of private plane and helicopter charter companies. Darwin's proximity to Asia is a major influence on Darwin cuisine and culture and our open air food markets and many restaurants provide a really different taste experience. As the weather is always warm, Darwin favours swimming, water sports and outdoor activities.
Recreational fishing is one of the most popular pastimes for both locals and visitors.
On the reefs you can catch Golden Snapper, Black Jewfish, Saddletail Snapper, Red-finned and Red Emperor, Estuarine Rock Cod, Coral Trout, Moonfish, Mangrove Jack and Bream. Tailored fishing tours can be arranged by experienced fishing guides to catch that famous Territory Barramundi. Whilst every effort is made to ensure accuracy, changes do occur so please contact the Darwin Port Authority for confirmation closer to arrival times.
