This tour begins following convenient hotel pick-up from downtown Darwin. Explore several of the loveliest locales in the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory. Count the masts of tall ships in Cullen Bay, glimpse towering cruise yachts at Stokes Hill Wharf, and soak up the local flavor where Darwin’s main thoroughfares intersect in the bustling heart of the city. Following your urban exploits you will then journey to Casuarina Coastal Reserve and the magnificent sandy beaches and views. Named for the eponymous evergreen shrubs that dot its scenic coastline. Keep your eyes peeled for ospreys and sea eagles darting among the mangroves as you stroll the beach, searching for smooth stones and sea glass. 

From Casuarina Coastal Reserve, head south towards Nightcliff Jetty and East Point Reserve, pausing at both picturesque destinations to snap photos and admire the brilliant surf. At East Point Reserve, keep your eyes peeled for wallabies who love to explore the smooth, sandy spits between the rocky headlands. With lunchtime approaching we make our way to the Darwin Botanical Gardens for a stroll among the diverse ecosystems represented here and a spot of lunch under the inspiring tropical raintrees.

Following lunch we will then pop into the fascinating Museum and Art Gallery of the NT to get an eclectic education of all things natural and artistic in the Top End. From here it is one last stop out at Charles Darwin National Park for an introduction into bush foods and medicines of some of the Top End plants and afternoon tea before returning to your preferred location.
