Get Out There
Swimming pools are great, but there is nothing quite like splashing around in a waterhole or waterfall to cool off.
Take a drive out of the city and check out Berry Springs or Litchfield National Park for a selection of gorgeous natural pools and waterfalls.
Wangi Falls is a guaranteed crowd pleaser and one of the most popular swimming spots within two hours of Darwin. Take a dive in the plunge pool, grab a bite to eat from the kiosk and then kick back on the grass.
If you’re up for an adventure, take the 45 minute return hike to the peak of Tolmer Falls for primo views of the park.
Jump on board a jetski
Got a need for speed? Why not give the 00Seven jetskis a try?
There’s plenty of tours to choose from, with amazing sunset and sunrise options around Darwin Harbour. You might even get to see some marine life and drift over famous WWII wrecks! If you’re not feeling adventurous enough to jump on your own jetski, you can ride on the back of your mate’s.
