What To Do In Darwin For A Day

Are you in the NT and wondering what to do in Darwin for a day? Well, don't wonder anymore because Australia's Northern Territory capital has enough activities to cover the whole day and beyond.

In Darwin, you can fill up each hour with a unique activity and still not have done everything on offer! This is why you need Remote Adventures NT for day tours from Darwin for a great helicopter tour package.

Starting with Darwin's waterfront, you'll get to explore the city's rich culture, food, and scenery, and end the adventure with an amazing Darwin sunset.

This article provides the best places to go in a day to truly experience what Darwin is all about.

Breakfast And A Dip At The Darwin Waterfront

Start the day with some delicious hearty breakfast at the Darwin Waterfront, and afterwards, a nice cool dip in the pool will top it off nicely.

Apart from the terrific food available here, you also get to enjoy the rich tropical scenery Darwin has to offer.

Then there's the wave lagoon which is Darwin's most popular attraction. It's no surprise thousands of tourists come here every year! This man-made attraction has waves that go as high as 1.2 meters which is safe for swimming. But just in case, there are lifeguards constantly patrolling the area so it is perfect for the whole family.

Enjoy Darwin’s Street Art and Museums

Darwin boasts magnificent street art to immerse yourself in on your post breakfast walk. It's even more impressive during the Darwin Street Art Festival with 2D and 3D works adorning the city.

If you are really feeling cultural, make a quick stop by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT). Here, get ready to be mesmerised by art and artifacts spanning centuries and from around the world. 

You'll experience different cultures and certainly learn things you didn't know before! If Museums are right up your alley, then we also recommend The Darwin Military Museum.

Get a real close up on what happened during World War II and Australia's involvement in it. There's a special focus on Japan's attack of Australia, which is  the first and largest foreign attack on Australia. 

It's almost impossible not to get emotional in this place, seeing all that has been, and learning all this will give you insight into Darwin's history and how it is what it is today.

Visit The Litchfield National Park

Your Darwin day tour is incomplete without seeing the Litchfield National Park. This is where we come in! Using the speed and convenience of a helicopter, you will be able to see so much of the famous Litchfield National park in just a few hours! 

Our Litchfield Adventure Tour leaves from Darwin and flies you over the harbour, tracking South over the magnetic termite mounds. 

You will see stunning waterfalls from the air and you can even add a waterfall swim experience when making your booking. This tour also includes landing at the Berry Springs Tavern for some refreshments.

Spot amazing birds and wildlife, explore crystal clear waters and waterfalls in this delightful park and make the most of your day in Darwin by doing it from the air! 

Go Heli Fishing

If waterfalls and parks aren’t really your thing then fishing is one of the best things you can do in Darwin. Go heli fishing in Darwin for an unforgettable NT experience. 

You get the opportunity to catch a Barramundi with the Heli Fishing Day Tour leaving from Darwin. That’s right, we whisk you away to the best fishing spots in the NT in the convenience and style of a helicopter! 

We’ll supply the food, drinking water, insect repellent, rods, reels and tackle from Fishing & Outdoor World - your premium tackle shop in the NT. All you need to bring is sunscreen, a hat, long-sleeve fishing shirt, suitable footwear that you don’t mind getting wet and of course, a camera to capture your impressive catch! 

Shop At The Mindil Beach Sunset Market

During the months of April to October, the Mindil Beach Sunset Market is a one-stop centre for amazing treats and wares. So whatever you're looking for, whether it's trendy food, gifts and souvenirs, or clothing, you can't miss the Mindil Market. 

During the NT dry season, you'll find a hub of all sorts of activities; street musicians and performers, and the food here is amazing; it's an opportunity to try new dishes from all over the world in one place. 

The market is also close to the Mindil Beach, so after an hour of shopping, you can go over and watch the sunset while sipping on a drink.

Rock The Night At Mitchell Street

Mitchell Street is a hotspot for locals and tourists, especially at night. Regarded by the locals as Darwin’s entertainment district, there's lots of liveliness, fun and you'll get to meet with people, unwind and have a good time.

There are many bars and restaurants to enjoy while embracing the street's nightlife and is the last thing on the list of what to do in Darwin for a day!
