Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory in Australia, and is also the smallest of the capital cities in Australia. A rather homely city, there's quite a bit to do here. Here are a few options for those planning to visit!
This fascinating beach sunset market is held every Thursday and Sunday evening, from April through to October, so if you're in Darwin during this time – visiting is a must! This is a great way to experience all the city has to offer, especially its multiculturalism. You can eat some spicy noodles, sizzling satays and witness local performers in their element. You can also indulge in buying gifts, watch the entertainment and also soak the cultural scene while you're there. The highlight of this market is the food, which ranges from Thai, Sri Lanka, Portuguese, Indian, Greek, Chinese, Brazilian and Malaysian. You'll find the market in Mindil Beach, Darwin, Northern Territory.
Looking for something slightly more romantic? A sunset dinner cruise sounds right out of a romantic novel! When you go in a sunset dinner cruise, you enjoy the tropical evenings and some of the best seafood the city has to offer. This is also a great way to capture photographs of the city and the fiery colours of the sunset.
Here's your chance to watch a sex-metre-long saltwater crocodile leap out of murky waters! You can see all of this and much more on a Jumping Crocodile Cruise on the Adelaide River. During your cruise, crocodiles will leap out of the water to feast on the meat that dangles from the boat – giving you a close up look of these majestic beasts and you will also have great photo opportunities!
Other wildlife you're likely to spot during this ride are white-bellied sea eagles and whistling kites. The Jumping Crocodile cruise is a five hour tour, a visit to the Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre, a visit to the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve and much more! Take a break from hanging out in the serviced apartments in Darwin, the likes of Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel and hop on the cruise!
Located in the heart of the Darwin city centre, boasts some of the largest displays of Australian reptiles in the world. The wild life lovers are going to remember this experience for a lifetime, as they get to come face to face with saltwater crocodiles in the "Cage of Death". You can also hold a baby croc, feed the crocs, hang out with the other fish in the aquarium and much more! This is a truly urban wildlife adventure.
Tiwi islands is located just north of Darwin, and is a great way to soak up a dose of unique indigenous culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time. Apart from the great hospitality and good fishing spots, you can also explore the lush green forests and tropical beaches!
