Darwin - Sightseeing

Visitors are offered a wide range of city sightseeing tours, half-day tours, whole-day excursions and harbor cruises. For information consult the Holiday Planner published by the Tourist Association and their numerous brochures and leaflets.

There are also a variety of cruises, e.g. day trips, night fishing cruises and weekend excursions, or evening cruises with traditional dancing and dinner on board. Ferries sail from Stokes Hill Wharf (southeast of the City) to Mandorah on the opposite side of the Cox Peninsula.

On a walk round the city center visitors can see most of the sights and at the same time experience the relaxed atmosphere of Australia's youngest capital. Because of the tropical heat in the middle of the day it is advisable to take your walk in the early morning or late afternoon.
