Top Darwin Holidays

Take in the views of Darwin Harbour during a sunset cruise aboard the “Charles Darwin,” a deluxe 3-level catamaran. Sail past the Esplanade, Larrakeyah Barracks, Cullen Bay, and Fannie Bay, all while seated in air-conditioned comfort or outside on the sundeck. Enjoy a delicious buffet dinner featuring fresh seafood and local produce as you watch the sun set over the Top End.

See Darwin as you’ve never seen it before on this amazing guided jet ski adventure tour of the coastline. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll speed out of the city to visit East Arm’s glassy waters and tropical mangroves. Feel yourself flying across the waves as you swing around the coast to Mindil Beach, before taking in the epic city skyline on the way back to the harbour.

Hop aboard a jet ski to whip down the open water at your own speed. During this action-packed excursion, you’ll pass along both untouched coastlines and the iconic Mindil Beach Casino, getting a chance to rev your engine full-blast. Immerse yourself in local marine life along the way, including potential dolphin sightings.

BASSINTHEGRASS isn’t just a music festival — it’s a full-blown tropical experience. Set on the lush lawns of Mindil Beach with the ocean breeze rolling in, it blends big-name live music with Darwin’s laid-back, sun-soaked vibe. By day, you’re dancing under blue skies with a cold drink in hand; by night, you’re watching the sun melt into the sea as the beats keep pumping. It’s the Northern Territory’s biggest and most iconic music festival, known for stacked line-ups that mix Aussie legends, international acts and emerging artists across hip-hop, indie, electronic and rock. Add in great food, pop-up bars, chill-out zones and thousands of people there purely for a good time, and you’ve got a festival that feels equal parts party and holiday. If you want great music, unforgettable sunsets and a festival atmosphere you won’t get anywhere else in Australia, BASSINTHEGRASS is the reason to go to Darwin.
