Top End Treasure Trail Million Dollar Fish Self Drive

Hit the road and chase the ultimate catch on a legendary Top End self-drive escape through Darwin and Kakadu National Park during the iconic Million Dollar Fish competition. This is a holiday made for those who love the freedom of the open road, the thrill of fishing Australia’s most famous barramundi, and the rugged beauty of the Northern Territory.

Begin in tropical Darwin, where waterfront sunsets, lively dining and easy-going Territory vibes set the scene before heading into the heart of Kakadu. Wind your way through vast wetlands, ancient escarpments and crocodile-filled waterways as you fish in some of the most dramatic landscapes in the country — with the million-dollar prize adding an extra spark of excitement to every cast.

Balance early mornings on the water with afternoons exploring waterfalls, rock art and lookouts, then settle in for relaxed evenings under endless star-filled skies. Whether you’re chasing the big one or simply soaking up the wild beauty of the Top End, this driving holiday delivers adventure, flexibility and unforgettable fishing moments in equal measure.
