Itinerary
Accommodation:
The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Esplanade Darwin is located next to the Darwin Entertainment Centre and overlooks the palm-lined esplanade, with stunning ocean views also available from select rooms.

While being located on the esplanade, the DoubleTree is also within walking distance of many Darwin hotspots, eateries and shopping areas.

Where to eat:
You’ll find yourself dining at the iconic Hotel Darwin which dates back to 1940 and has been a long-running watering-hole for the city’s locals. This is the place to try a variety of local produce including fresh barramundi, thick rump steak, mouth-watering pizzas and even kangaroo pie.
What to do:
The Croc Bus tour
Prepare to embark on an extraordinary adventure through the untamed wilderness of Australia’s Top End with The Croc Bus and the adrenaline-charged crocodile tours in Darwin. Immerse yourself in the heart-stopping beauty of the Adelaide River as you join the exciting croc tour in Darwin, where the legendary jumping Estuarine crocodiles reign supreme. On the way to the cruise, we stop at Humpty Doo, 45 min out of Darwin. You’ll get the chance to stretch your legs and take a photo with the biggest boxing crocodile in the world standing at 13 metres long. On our way back to Darwin, we stop at Fogg Dam, a beautiful wetland landscape with vast wildlife including Birds, Insects, Fish, Buffalo, Wallabies, and some of the biggest reptiles in the world.
Sightseeing in the NT’s capital city is easy with the Big Bus Darwin Hop-on Hop-off sightseeing tour which will allow you to customise your Darwin experience while also learning interesting facts via the entertaining audio commentary provided on the bus. The popular drop-off spots include the beautiful George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens, Crocosaurus Cove, Stokes Hill Wharf and the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service Darwin Tourist Facility details two key elements within the Northern Territory’s extensive history. Founded in 1939 by Reverend John Flynn, the RFDS has a rich history of heroic tales from the pilots, doctors, nurses and patients that can experienced through life-size holograms, interactive storytelling, touch screen portals and even a decommissioned RFDS Pilatus PC 12 aircraft that you can venture into. Relive the iconic wartime experience through the immersive Virtual Reality of the Bombing of Darwin Harbour 1942 – a movie production whose magnitude has never been seen before in VR.
