Frequently Asked Questions About Darwin Tours
How far is Kakadu from Darwin?
About 250 kilometres to Jabiru, roughly three hours by sealed road on the Arnhem Highway. Day tours to Kakadu run from Darwin but make for a very long day. If you want to see more than Ubirr and a cruise, take a two or three day trip instead.
How far is Litchfield National Park from Darwin?
Litchfield National Park is about 120 kilometres south of Darwin, with the drive taking around an hour and a half each way. Its relatively short travel time makes it a popular option for a day trip from Darwin. Our Litchfield day tours include a selection of the park’s waterfalls and swimming spots.
Litchfield or Kakadu, which should I do?
Litchfield if you have one day: it is closer, the waterfalls are swimmable and the day is relaxed. Kakadu if you have two or more, and you want rock art, wetlands and scale. They are different places, not competing versions of the same thing.
When is the best time to visit Darwin?
May to September, the dry season. Warm days around 30 to 32 degrees, low humidity, blue skies and every road open. October to April is wet: heat, humidity, storms, spectacular waterfalls and far fewer people. Accommodation is cheapest in the wet.
How many days do you need in Darwin?
Two days for the city, Mindil Beach and a crocodile cruise. Four or five if you want Litchfield and Kakadu as well, which is what most people come for. A week lets you add Katherine Gorge or the Tiwi Islands without rushing.
How hot does Darwin get, and does it get cold?
Days sit between 30 and 34 degrees almost year round. The difference is humidity, not heat. Dry season nights drop to about 19 degrees, which locals call cold and everyone else calls pleasant.
Do tours run in the wet season?
Most do, on adjusted routes. Some roads and waterholes in Litchfield and Kakadu close when the rivers come up, and Jim Jim Falls is generally unreachable in the wet. The trade-off is that the waterfalls are at full flow.
What is the jumping crocodile cruise?
A boat cruise on the Adelaide River where wild saltwater crocodiles rise out of the water for meat held from the boat. It is the closest most people will get to a large wild crocodile. Morning ($135) and afternoon ($170) cruises run, and return transport from Darwin is included.
Can you visit the Tiwi Islands?
Yes, on the Tiwi Islands First Nations Cultural Tour ($465), which includes damper and billy tea, and time with Tiwi artists on Bathurst Island. The Tiwi Islands are Aboriginal land and require a permit, which is arranged as part of the tour rather than by you.
What is there to do in Darwin itself?
The Waterfront precinct, the Museum and Art Gallery, the Botanic Gardens, the WWII oil storage tunnels, and Mindil Beach markets at sunset during the dry season. Our Darwin City and Surrounds tour ($110) covers the city and the museums.
