This tour caters to everyone, from the young to the young at heart, offering a perfect day of relaxation around Darwin. Experience all the attractions without extensive traveling. This tour features only brief, easy walks, making it ideal for individuals of all ages and those with limited mobility. Guests will be conveniently picked up and dropped off at their hotel after an exhilarating day exploring the Top End's natural beauty.
- Departure is scheduled for a comfortable 8:30 am from your hotel and will head to Berry Springs Nature Park, for our first stop. This park is a natural oasis featuring serene pools and warm springs nestled amidst lush tropical flora. Guests can swim or gently drift along a tranquil stream bordered by pandanus palms and other tropical vegetation—a true slice of paradise. Known as Laniyuk to the indigenous Kungarakany people, this spot has long been a haven for rejuvenation. The waters are crystal clear, particularly in the morning, making it an ideal time for guests to don their goggles and observe vibrant tropical fish or perhaps even spot a turtle.
- As you bask in the warmth of the beautiful springs, your guide will be preparing a delectable picnic lunch for you to savor on the cool, shaded grassed area. Conveniently located nearby are restrooms equipped with showers, offering you the opportunity to change into dry attire.
- We then journey to the Adelaide River for an exhilarating JUMPING CROCODILE CRUISE. The Adelaide River is home to one of the densest populations of Saltwater Crocodiles globally. You'll be captivated by the hunting prowess of these dominant predators during your one-hour Jumping Crocodile cruise.
- En route back to Darwin, we'll visit the enchanting Fogg Dam. Driving along the dam's low wall allows us to traverse the heart of the billabong, bringing us closer to the wildlife. From several observation decks, we can observe an array of birdlife, including Australian Darters, Jacanas, Brolgas, and many others among the 280 bird species native to the Top End.
- To cap off a day filled with Top End marvels, what could be better than stopping at a quintessential outback pub, The Humpty Doo pub, for a refreshing cold drink? Relax and unwind with a beverage (at your own expense) before we head back to Darwin and conclude our journey with a drop-off at your hotel.
