Our favourite places were the Darwin waterfront restaurants and eateries and the wave pool. Love the original jumping crocodile tour. Parliament House and state library, and museums. We really loved how easy it is to walk every where or use a scooter to get around . Hiring a car to explore the national parks and waterfalls is the best way to go.

We loved Darwin, our 2nd trip there so far. We stayed for 6 nights. Visited Litchfield National Park, Fishing Charter for the boys and day spa for the girls, Croc Spectacular. Hop on Hop off bus is great, visited the Museums, Cullen Bay, Yacht Club, Shennanigans, Casino. Scooters were a heap of fun and a great way to get around.

My first short visit to NT during the wet season & it won't be my last. This trip was a taste to see if I'd come again. A last minute decision to celebrate my 60th birthday 21/1/21 was a milestone I'll treasure. The highlight was our flight over Kakadu and the Yellow River cruise. They're would have been a list of many other experiences but decided to embrace the atmosphere and culture instead of madly chasing all the tourist highlights and spending a swag more dosh in this 4 day trip. Darwin is not about rushing around - it's has a magical way to slow you down. Mainly because it's too bloody hot to rush 😬but more that you miss what this place is about if you don't slow your pace. You'll either love it or hate it, simple as that. Depends on your attitude & how you take the lifestyle you see. Hard to have too much of an opinion on my fly by trip but I do have rellies that moved from the southern states & call Darwin their forever home after 4 years... Being a non drinker & smoker myself I was surprised at the ease and culture centred around both these habits. Loved knowing the indigenous stories of the local artists and tour guys that teach so much. They do their culture proud. The diversity of lost ones roaming the town markets and streets chasing every dollar is the darker side that breaks your heart. They seem to be living to drink only. Best not to give money even if hassled. Slapping a pair of thongs together is not the true culture.... Crime and break ins locally has risen greatly. Many are seeking solutions and I hope they find changes. Apart from this dark side there are many highlights, natural beauty, characters, history ect ect... Regardless I will return as much as possible to embrace everything that NT has on offer. It's unique, totally safe for visitors and tourists and I love it.

Darwin CBD is a great place to be for short, car-less stopovers between remote NT and my interstate home. For longer stays, I typically drive into Darwin, and avoid the CBD, for better accommodation rates, and to have a shorter drive to scenic sites.

I loved the lay back feeling of Darwin. Everything is walkable. I came in the wet season so not all tours were available. Darwin has a lot of good restaurants to choose from.Make sure of the season you travel in that all things are open.Did a fabulous Jumping croc tour which was up close and personal. Also swam with the croc at the Crocasaurus Cove in Darwin and it was a good laugh.
