Itinerary
From vibrant city streets to untamed waterways, this immersive day tour reveals two sides of the Northern Territory’s Top End.
– Darwin City
Your adventure begins in the city centre of Larrakia/Darwin, where tropical charm meets poignant history. Start your day at Darwin Waterfront and hear local insights about the area from your Driver Guide.
From there, journey to Charles Darwin National Park, a hidden gem just minutes from the city centre. Here, walking trails wind through monsoon forest and lead to WWII bunkers, with sweeping views across the city skyline and Darwin Harbour.
Continue your exploration with a visit to the Darwin Aviation Museum, home to an impressive collection of aircraft and war relics, including a rare B-52 bomber.
Then, head to the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT), where stories of Cyclone Tracy and ancient Aboriginal art unfold.
– Adelaide River Jumping Crocodile Cruise
After a midday pause, the pace shifts. You’ll journey deep into the Top End to the mighty Adelaide River, crocodile country. Here, expert guides lead you on the world-famous Jumping Crocodile Cruise, where you’ll see ancient saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat. Spot birdlife on the riverbank, soaking in the serenity of the floodplain. Explore Darwin’s highlights in one day on this unforgettable tour, where city meets Outback.

To maximize your time on tour we pick up only from hotels where we know our guests will be waiting for us. Please re-confirm 24 hours before your trip departs to ensure your desired pick-up location will be on the coach route. The hotel you are staying at may not necessarily be where your specific tour departs, please re-confirm with our team before your trip.
NOTE: Every effort is made to locate guests upon arrival at their pick-up point. If our Driver Guide or Day Tours Staff is unable to locate the guests at the appointed time, guests will be required to make their way to the tour departure point at own expense.
If you miss your pick up time, please speak with the hotel reception at your pick up location. They can contact AAT Kings to confirm if the coach has already left or if it will be able to come and collect you.
It is important that pick ups are on time, to ensure there is enough time to do all included experiences in your tour. It is likely that if you have missed the pick up, the coach cannot turn back to collect you and you may have to wait until another day to do the tour.
The best way to avoid this is to plan ahead and be ready at your pick up location 5-10 minutes prior to the departure. If you do not receive an SMS from AAT Kings to confirm your pick up time, please call 1300 228 546 to reconfirm and ensure you will meet the coach at the right time.
