Northern Territory Holiday Packages

Northern Territory Holiday Packages

When people imagine Australia as one giant, rugged wilderness, the Northern Territory is the reason. Sure, the city of Darwin is located right on the coast, but the further south you go, the more wild life becomes. This territory claims much of the nation’s Red Centre, but it’s also home to 52 national parks, rare wildlife and a collection of tropical islands. Top it all off with an incredible amount of Aboriginal culture and you’ve got yourself a getaway you’ll never forget. Especially since this is the home of astonishingly intricate rock art—which the original inhabitants of the region have been using to remember stories for 40,000 years. What was that about forgetting to book your trip? So put in for that time off. You’re going to want a lot of it for this territory. Then get ready for the “real Outback ” with our Northern Territory holiday packages. And by get ready, we mean pack your walking stick!

Stuff to Do

Getting around the Northern Territory is just as fun as all the things you’ll do here. Charter a helicopter ride or hot air balloon to get incredible views of the landscape. Then find a camel to trot (or galumph, or whatever it is camels do) through the desert. If you have a need for speed, grab a Jeep, dune buggy or ATV to go 4x4ing through the rust-coloureddust. Of course, our Darwin car rental options might be more practical.

When you’re ready to slow things down, use your own two feet to go on a walkabout. Add in your arms for swimming or surfing. Because the truth is, NT holidays are all about doing . Exactly what you do is all up to you.

City Life

While not as large as some Australian coastal cities, Darwin has plenty to offer travellers, whether that’s a raucous night with fellow backpackers before hitting the Outback or sampling the Asian-influenced cuisine. Check out some Aboriginal art at the Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory or arm-wrestle a crocodile hunter. Whatever blows your hair back.

Of course, if our NT holiday packages bring you to the Red Centre, Alice Springs is where all the action is. Here you’ll find the hub for visitors to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon. Throw back a few tinnies with your new local friends at Todd Mall while planning your adventures at all these iconic sites. What could possibly go wrong?

Where to Visit

Check out the largest national park in Australia—Kakadu National Park—because it’s chockablock with Aboriginal rock art. See how the locals shared their adventures with their fellow travellers before social media. Then, of course, share your own photos of their artwork with your followers.

Want to see where red earth meets the ocean? Then check out Garig Gunak Barlu National Park. And to see some truly epic scenery on Northern Territory holidays, follow the Victoria River as it twists through the southwest.

So how can you experience all this and more? By booking Wotif’s Northern Territory packages, of course! Go for broke right away on your first visit, or start with our Darwin holiday packages for a smaller trip instead. Either way, booking your trip will be easier than choosing between the green jungles of the coast and the arid adventures of the Red Centre.
