Whether you’re here for a weekend or have lived here your whole life, there’s a few quintessential Top End experiences you have to tick off. Darwin is famous for a lot of things (some good, some funny, some scary) but we’ve rounded up the top five things to do in Darwin to add to your bucket list…

1. Watch the sunset at Mindil Beach.
Darwin’s sunsets are legendary, and there’s no better place to catch one than at Mindil Beach. Grab a spot on the sand, take in the breathtaking views, and wander through the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. You’ll find everything from local crafts to delicious eats, and of course, our Slappas Thongs stall. Grab yourself a pair of our iconic thongs, they’re perfect for the Darwin lifestyle!

2. Explore the Darwin waterfront.
The Darwin Waterfront is a must-visit for both locals and tourists. Take a dip in the Wave Lagoon, enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants, or just chill on the grass by the water. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing day out with family or mates.

3. Visit the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
Get a dose of culture at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). From Aboriginal art to exhibits on Cyclone Tracy, it’s a fascinating place to learn more about the history and culture of the Top End. And it’s free!

4. Take a crocodile cruise on the Adelaide River.
No trip to Darwin is complete without getting up close and personal with some crocs. Hop on a croc cruise on the Adelaide River to see these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. It’s a true Top End experience that’ll get your adrenaline pumping!

5. Litchfield National Park day trip.
Just a short drive from Darwin, Litchfield National Park is packed with stunning waterfalls, swimming holes, and lush bushland. Take a dip in the cool waters of Florence Falls, or hike through the beautiful scenery. It’s nature at its finest, and a great way to escape the city for a day.
