1. Stay at a
nice Lodge
Darwin is comparatively
cheap, where other Australian cities will cost you pretty high. Darwin,
Australia is also not very popular as the tourist destination. There are many
travelers in the world choosing destinations different than normal tourists.
2. Crocosaurus Cove
This place is located in
the heart of Darwin City. The Crocosaurus Cove gives visitors a wonderful
experience with saltwater crocodiles. Also, all those who are adventurous and
want to try something exciting then they can choose to swim with the
crocodiles. Don’t be scared, it swims with crocodiles in the enclosed cage.
3. Fishing and eating barramundi
Fishing is one of the
most loved activities in Darwin, and almost every local indulges in this
recreation.
4. Try a ride on an
airboat
Take a ride on an airboat
in the wetlands. The airboat is a flat-bottomed vessel with an aircraft-type
propeller, its flat-bottomed design allows it to drive into shallow areas where
the normal boats or cruises can’t go. It can turn out to be a fantastic
experience and I would highly recommend you to try it. You can explore
Wildlands Wetlands Safari in Darwin.
5. Crocodile Jumping
Cruise
Darwin is most well-known
for the crocodiles. If you are looking for adventure then the best way to
explore is, hop on a boat and look for wild crocodiles skulking in the wide
rivers.
6. Visit Mindil Beach
Australia is surrounded
by water, so wherever you go, you are going to find a beautiful beach. But this
place is not about the beach, There is a huge market which is called “Sunset
Market”. For seafood lovers - this can be a heaven. From Vietnamese food,
kebabs, Indian food, roast beef, Greek food, and fresh oysters are the
best-known varieties.
7. Shop
There are many markets
other than some big ones. You can certainly enjoy street shopping, some art and
craft stuff, local artifacts cloths etc. There are some markets for high end,
luxurious shopping as well.
8. Take day tours to
National Parks
There are some good
national parks, and pre-planned day trips with the tour agents. According to
your trip planning, you can prefer planning visit to National Parks
It will certainly look
odd when you are taking a different location especially when the continent -
Australia has a lot to offer. But I really enjoyed my small trip to Darwin.
