Duration:
Operated By:
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 bring 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.
Depending on the availability of the Crocodile Cruise, the tour may be conducted in reverse.

Aaron our driver and guide was absolutely amazing, with his tid bits of knowledge and pleasant welcoming nature.
The waterfalls and waterholes were beyond spectacular !

We are a couple in our eighties.
Sabine was a very caring and professional person.
Went out of her way to make our trip a memorable one.
Assisted us to manage difficult terrains without hurrying us.
Checking on us always to make sure we are well.
Also making sure we were well hydrated.
Sabine provided us with more than a tour service,assisting us with a personal issue.
From the very first phone conversation to book, Sabine went above and beyond.
Our 6am start was soon forgotten as we settled into her comfortable and spacious 4WD. The drive went by quickly as Sabine shared her great knowledge of the area, fauna and flora. Her perfect balance between professionalism and personal touches are what really make for a memorable experience. We were very well looked after with wonderful morning tea, snacks, drinks and an amazing lunch by Edith Falls.
Our tour exceeded all of our expectations. We would ????% travel with Sabine again and highly recommend her.

I highly recommend Sabine - a professional, interesting and friendly tour guide.
