Adventure highlights

8 blood-pumping experiences to turn up the action

With wide-open spaces and natural landscapes made for exploring, the NT is made for adventure and adrenaline-fuelled action. Here are 8 action-packed adventures in Northern Territory that you won’t find anywhere else.

Outback Ballooning has been delivering unforgettable hot air balloon experiences over Alice Springs since 1986.

Helifish tours are the best in the business, flying over impressive top end landscapes to abundant permit-only fishing grounds targeting the mighty Barramundi.

Uluru Segway Tours offers an exhilarating and effortless way for visitors to experience the majestic base of Uluru in the heart of Australia's Red Centre.

Airborne Solutions Darwin Helicopter Tours offer scenic helicopter flights over Darwin City and surrounds and some of the most spectacular and remote country in the Northern Territory.

Nitmiluk Gorge is one of the most picturesque places to canoe in Australia.

Darwin adventure in 1 day <span>Must-do activities for adrenaline junkies</span>

If you’re an adrenaline junkie, Darwin has everything you need for a rush of endorphins – here's a full rundown of how to fill your day around the city.

The World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park is an absolute must on your visit to the Northern Territory. The diverse attractions on display in the park mean there’s something for you, however long you stay.

Top 10 swimming spots in the Northern Territory

The Northern Territory has more than its fair share of pristine waterholes. Swim under one of the majestic waterfalls in the Top End or soak up the sun on a spectacular inland beach in the Red Centre.

A Red Centre road trip is a rite of passage for every Australian, and for most young people the adventure hovers in the lower sections of buckets lists with a note “I’ll do it one day” pencilled next to it.

There’s nothing more appealing than an open road trip, especially one that stretches almost 1,500km from Australia’s spiritual and physical heart, Alice Springs and the Red Centre, to tropical Darwin.

Explore adventure activities by region

Whether it’s monster crocs at feeding time or overnight treks deep into the wilderness, you’ll find plenty of heart-pumping action around Darwin.

This is where the real fun begins. Ride a quad bike through the mighty West MacDonnell Ranges, drive the red tracks in a four-wheel-drive, or travel over sand dunes on the back of a camel.

Get yourself revved up for quad-biking over sand dunes, four-wheel driving along bush tracks, and riding a Harley along Uluru’s sunset strip.

Kakadu is a thrill seeker’s paradise, with vast, rugged landscapes, plunging cascades and plenty of billabongs and rivers to tackle.

Discover Katherine’s unique geographic gifts from winding rivers, waterfalls and ocean to vast deserts and plunging gorges – an adventurer’s playground.

There’s plenty of adventure to be had in Tennant Creek, from fossicking for gold and bushwalking, to four-wheel driving and cattle station stays.
