SAY G’DAY TO THE NORTHERN TERRITORY

From first-time visitors to seasoned explorers, the Northern Territory offers a deeper, wilder and more meaningful way to experience Australia. You’ll discover landscapes that stretch your sense of scale, stories that run tens of thousands of years deep, and journeys where the road itself is part of the adventure.

Here, ancient gorges cut through red desert, waterfalls spill into hidden swimming holes, and sunsets feel almost unreal. You’ll find road trips where the sense of distance is part of the magic, cultural experiences that are lived rather than performed, and moments of stillness that stay with you long after you’re home.

The Northern Territory is made for travellers who crave nature, adventure and authenticity. For those who have already explored Australia’s east coast and are looking for something raw, remote and genuinely different. And for anyone ready to slow down, look closer, and connect more deeply with the land they’re travelling through.

Inside these pages, you’ll discover the experiences that define the Territory. From the tropical Top End to the Red Centre’s vast horizons, from Aboriginal-led cultural encounters to outback walks, waterfalls, wildlife and road trips worth planning your holiday around. Our consultants have shared their favourite insider experiences and lesser-known highlights to help you uncover the places that make the Northern Territory unforgettable.

And when you book with House of Travel, you’re not just booking a holiday. You’re backed by specialists who know how to turn big landscapes and long distances into a seamless, well-planned adventure, with everything from flights and car hire to on-the-ground tips sorted.

So take your time, soak it all in, and let the Territory do what it does best. Surprise you, ground you, and when you are ready, we are here to help.

UNCOVER THE NEXT BIG

THING

THE HOT LIST

You might think you know Australia, but the Northern Territory offers a refreshing sense of discovery. This is a place that invites you to slow down, travel a little deeper and connect with landscapes and cultures found nowhere else. From wide-open spaces and ancient stories to memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences, the Northern Territory rewards curiosity with moments that stay with you long after you return home.

THE OUTBACK FROM ABOVE

Imagine floating silently over Australia’s Red Centre as the sun rises to greet a brand-new day. You’ll soar above the vast remoteness of the outback, watching the morning light slowly illuminate the rugged MacDonnell Ranges. As you drift over sprawling cattle stations, keep an eye out for red kangaroos bounding below. The experience is topped off with light refreshments and chilled sparkling wine served in the middle of nowhere. This is a peaceful, bird’s-eye perspective on the Territory’s scale and beauty.

A WALK UNLIKE ANY OTHER

Over four unforgettable days, you’ll explore the sacred desert landscape of Uluru–Kata Tjuta National Park on the newest Signature Walk of Australia. You’ll also be one of the very few to actually stay within the National Park in a luxury eco camp. Experts will guide you as you discover a deep cultural connection to Australia’s beating heart. This one’s not just another walk… it’s a privilege you’ll cherish forever. Spaces are limited so book early for this oncein-a-lifetime experience.

DINE ON THE WATER AT NITMILUK

Considered the jewel in the crown of the Katherine region, this sunset dinner cruise is a must-do for your stay in Nitmiluk National Park. Sit back and relax as you are transported into the spiritual world of Jawoyn culture and history against the magnificent backdrop of the gorge. As the sun sets, enjoy a candlelit, threecourse fine dining experience featuring fresh Australian produce cooked right on board. Whether it’s an intimate getaway or a group celebration, sipping sparkling wine while the night sky emerges over the tranquil water is an iconic experience.

LAP UP SOME LAKSA

Head to the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets in Darwin to truly experience a vibrant, cultural melting pot. Browse local arts & crafts, sample global cuisines and watch everything from live music and dance groups to circus acts and street performers. And if that isn’t enticing enough, it’s all set against the backdrop of an epic sunset over the Timor Sea. If you’re feeling adventurous try some of the local delicacies at the food stalls - including kangaroo, crocodile or barramundi. But we recommend the spicy laksa. You’ll thank us later. It’s such an iconic dish in the Top End, that it is celebrated with Darwin’s much-loved Laksa Festival each October. The Mindil Beach Sunset Markets are open on Sundays and Thursdays from April through to October.

ROLL AROUND THE ROCK

Start the day with a magical sunrise paired with a picnic breakfast at the base of Uluru. Once the sun is up, it’s time to hop on a Segway for a guided circumnavigation of the entire base. You’ll learn about ancient culture and stop for incredible photos as you marvel at the sheer scale of the monolith. To top off the adventure, your guide will lead a short walk to the Mutitjulu Waterhole.

It’s a fun, five-hour experience that combines modern exploration with deep history.

CHECK IN TO DARWIN’S NEXT BIG THING

LIGHTS, SPIRIT, CULTURE & DESERT STARS

Parrtjima, a free 10-night festival which takes place in the heart of the Red Centre (Alice Springs), is utterly magical. This year’s theme, ‘Language’ uses modern technology to illuminate the 300-million-year-old natural canvas of the MacDonnell Ranges. Visitors can explore dynamic light installations, interactive workshops, and storytelling that celebrate the rhythms and beauty of the world’s oldest living culture. It is a breathtaking program of music and art that invites you to feel the living spirit of Country under the desert stars. The festival is on from 10–19 April 2026.

SET SAIL AT SUNSET

Feel the wind and savour the silence as the motors cut and the sails unfurl for a sensational three-hour dinner cruise on Darwin Harbour. You’ll board Sundancer, a 50ft luxury catamaran designed for ultimate tropical comfort — think 100 square metres of deck space to lounge on, and a fully air-conditioned saloon if you need a break from the heat. Sip on unlimited Australian sparkling wine and graze on delicious tapas and a BBQ dinner as the sky transforms. This is a truly jaw-dropping way to see the sunset, and a genuine sailing experience that captures the magic of the Top End from the water.

Landing in 2026, voco Darwin Suites is bringing a fresh burst of style, colour and comfort to the heart of the Top End. Set right in Darwin’s CBD, this brand-new hotel is designed for travellers who like their stays polished, relaxed and brilliantly located. With 87 premium suites, stylish dining, fitness facilities and an outdoor pool, it’s perfect for short stays, longer escapes or a smart stopover before heading further afield.

GETTING AROUND

ADVENTURE BY ROAD, RAIL OR GUIDED HOLIDAY

The Northern Territory is vast, wild and wonderfully varied. One moment you’re standing beneath soaring red escarpments, the next you’re floating through ancient gorges or watching the sun set over endless Outback plains. Because the NT is so big and so diverse, there’s no single right way to see it. The best way is the one that suits how you like to travel.

From fully guided journeys to slow, self-guided adventures, Amanda Radovanovich, House of Travel Richmond, recommends four of her favourite ways to explore.

1. GUIDED TOURS

If you want to see a lot without worrying about the logistics, a guided tour is hard to beat. With the Northern Territory’s expansive landscapes and varied conditions, local knowledge can make all the difference.

Travelling with a group on a guided holiday means transport, accommodation and experiences are all taken care of. You’ll hear the stories behind the landscapes, visit places you might not tackle alone, and travel comfortably through remote regions like Kakadu, Arnhem Land and the Red Centre.

This style of travel suits firsttimers, and those who want depth and insight without the hassle of planning every detail.

2. 4WD AND CAMPERVAN ADVENTURES

For travellers who like freedom and flexibility, a 4WD or campervan opens up a different side of the NT. This is where the real sense of adventure kicks in. Plot your own route, linger longer in places you love, and reach remote waterfalls, bush camps and lesser-known national parks. You can go fully independent or choose guided 4WD tours and supported self-drive itineraries, which give you the adventure with extra reassurance along the way.

It’s a great option for families, couples and confident roadtrippers who like a little adventure on their holiday and get off the beaten track.

3. RAIL JOURNEYS

For a slower, more luxurious way to see the Territory, there really isn’t anything more iconic than a journey on one of the world’s great train journeys. The Ghan travelling from Darwin to Adelaide (and vv) offers breathtaking scenery, exceptional service, excellent dining, fine wine and unforgettable off-train experiences including remote outpost experiences of the Red Centre.

In 2027, the legendary Ghan takes it up a notch, moving from three days to four incredible days. From touring Alice Springs and Katherine to a stop of the famous Nitmiluk National Park for a scenic gorge cruise, each off-train experience will highlight the history, culture and beauty of the region.

Inspired to find out more? Check out page 8 for more about The Ghan.

4. WALKING HOLIDAYS

If you love travelling on foot, the NT delivers some of Australia’s most incredible walking experiences where each step feels earned, and every landscape tells a story.

The iconic Larapinta Trail winds through the West MacDonnell Ranges near Alice Springs, offering dramatic ridgelines, desert colours and deep cultural significance. For something truly special, the Uluru-Kata Tjuta Signature Walk combines guided walks, luxury camps and a profound connection to country.

HOT TIP: Book early! Popular guided walks cap numbers to protect the environment. Chat to us about nabbing your spot and when we can weave in the flights, transfers and post-trek indulgences (think winery stay, spa getaway or reef escape).

Lux THE LIST

EXPERIENCE THE TOP END, SAFARI STYLE

Bamurru Plains, Northern Territory

If you’re looking for exceptional experiences, the Northern Territory offers plenty. Mel Hubber from House of Travel Ferrymead uncovers three ultimate, “pinch me” places to indulge.

Ten safari bungalows and two private retreats sit on a working buffalo station, featuring unique mesh walls that let the sights and sounds of the wild drift in. Skim across floodplains by airboat to spot saltwater crocodiles or search for brumbies and dingoes on guided bush drives. Enjoy chef-prepared meals and Australian wines in an off-grid sanctuary where the sunrise over the Mary River floodplains serves as your daily wake-up call.

INDULGE IN REMOTE LUXURY LODGE

Seven Spirit Bay, Cobourg Peninsula

WAKE TO ULURU AT YOUR WINDOW

Longitude 131°, Northern Territory

Sixteen tented pavilions sit lightly on red desert sand, with views of Uluru that will take your breath away. Toast the Outback at sunset with Champagne and canapés, then dine under a blanket of stars, surrounded by the hush of the desert.

Accessible only by boat or private airstrip, Seven Spirit Bay is true Top End isolation done exceptionally well. Immersed in nature, discover secluded villas hidden within Garig Gunak Barlu National Park, overlooking a pristine bay, framed by coral reefs, dense bushland and dramatic red-rock cliffs. Explore by 4WD, on the water or on guided walks, then return for sunset views and refined dining.

MUST EXPERIENCE ICONIC RAIL JOURNEY

The Ghan.

Tracey Edgecombe from House of Travel New Plymouth shares her favourite moments from this iconic rail adventure, including plenty of ideas to spark your own unforgettable trip.

What made you want to experience The Ghan?

I was after a relaxing, scenic way to travel through Australia, and The Ghan felt like the ultimate iconic journey from north to south. There’s something really special about crossing such a remote, historic part of the country.

What struck you first when you boarded?

The friendly and relaxed atmosphere. From the moment I stepped on, it felt calm and welcoming. The staff were super friendly, and the elegant, classic décor set the perfect mood.

What surprised you most?

The landscapes! I thought the trip might get a bit dull, but the scenery was always changing — red earth, rocky outcrops, lush gorges — it kept me hooked.

A goosebump moment?

Cruising through Nitmiluk Gorge near Katherine. The stillness and colours were breathtaking. Total wow moment.

What was the view like from your room?

Always shifting, always interesting. You go from endless red dirt to rocky formations, and it never gets boring.

And the vibe on board?

Friendly and laid-back. Everyone’s there to enjoy themselves, it’s a relaxed and sociable way to travel.

How would you describe your room?

Compact but cleverly designed, with your own ensuite. I stayed in a Gold Twin, which had everything I needed — just be ready to get cosy with your travel buddy! Solo travellers will love the single cabins, which share roomy bathrooms. If you want more space and luxury, Platinum’s the way to go.

Any standout meals?

Honestly, every meal was exceptional and you don’t go hungry, with 2-3 courses each time. Dining under the stars at the old Telegraph Station was next level — sunset, fine food, and live music made it unforgettable.

TRACEY’S TIPS / PACKING

COMFORTABLE SHOES: You’ll be stepping off for off-train excursions. Think walking shoes or supportive sneakers (no need for hiking boots unless you’re heading off-track).

SMART CASUAL OUTFITS: Dining is a highlight onboard. While there’s no formal dress code, smart casual is ideal for evening meals.

AN INSULATED WATER BOTTLE: It gets warm, so stay hydrated! Bring an insulated bottle — plenty of refill spots onboard.

EARPLUGS: The gentle rumble of the train can be surprisingly soothing – many say it only takes one night to adjust (and it’s true!). But depending on your sleep style, earplugs might be a handy addition for a restful night.

“This isn’t just your average train ride. It’s a once-in-alifetime experience with amazing service, stunning scenery, and great people. I hadn’t done anything like it before, and I absolutely loved it.”

What’s the dress code like?

Smart casual. Most people freshen up or change for dinner, but it’s not formal. Comfort definitely wins.

Tell us about the off-train experiences. Any favourites?

The Nitmiluk Gorge cruise was stunning. The West MacDonnell Ranges tour to Simpsons Gap in Alice Springs was a highlight too. And Coober Pedy? Such a quirky, cool place where most people live underground—it’s unlike anywhere else.

Do you have much freedom off the train?

Excursions are guided, which I liked. In Alice Springs, you can explore on your own, but I found the guided trips really worth it.

Any tips for first-timers?

Just go with the flow. Relax and let the onboard team take care of you. Enjoy the food, the drinks, and those ever-changing views—it’s all part of the magic.

Who is this journey ideal for?

Definitely adults who love food, scenery, and local stories. The staff are great with anyone needing extra assistance, and there are activities for all fitness levels. Accessible cabins can be pre-booked too.

Cruising through Nitmiluk Gorge. Was incredibly peaceful, with towering sandstone cliffs and serene waters.

Exploring Simpsons Gap in the West MacDonnell Ranges. The contrast between red rock and blue sky is something else.

Starry nights and BBQ delights.

The outdoor Aussie BBQ at the historic Telegraph Station in Alice Springs was epic!

Exceptional staff & service.

Every single crew member went above and beyond to make the journey unforgettable. It wasn’t just a train trip — it was a full experience.

TREAT YOURSELF TO A SUITE!

Aurora & Australis Suites

These generously sized new suites launch April 2026. You’ll enjoy your own private sanctuary with a dedicated butler, private bar curated to your taste, and chilled Champagne Bollinger La Grande Année. Whether in the Aurora or the expansive Australis Suite, experience the ultimate in luxury as you traverse the Outback.

Explore the Top End

START IN DARWIN

Kick off your Top End holiday with breakfast at one of the city’s much-loved cafes, then head out to explore. As part of the annual Darwin Street Art Festival, large-scale murals by local and interstate artists transform buildings across the city. Download the street art app to explore at your own pace or join a guided walk.

Darwin is one of the country’s best places to experience Aboriginal art. Pop into Mbantua Fine Art Gallery and Mason Gallery, or head to Parap to explore the exhibitions at the Northern Centre for Contemporary Art. Spend an afternoon at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, which offers a compelling overview of the region’s art, history and natural environment.

Slow down at Mindil Beach Casino Resort, where the lagoon pool and swim-up bar are perfect for soaking up the sun with a cocktail in hand. For a memorable evening, step aboard the Charles Darwin Sunset Dinner Cruise and watch the harbour glow as the sky shifts through shades of pink and gold. Champagne in hand, enjoy a Territory-inspired dinner as the city lights begin to sparkle.

KAKADU NATIONAL PARK

Drive 3 hours towards Kakadu National Park, a dual World Heritage-listed site and Australia’s second largest national park. Along the way, keep an eye out for wildlife on the Arnhem Highway. Head to Ubirr lookout at sunset for a stunning view of the floodplains and wetlands.

DRIVE FROM KAKADU TO NITMILUK NATIONAL PARK

Travel south along the Kakadu Highway towards the historic township of Pine Creek, a former gold rush town dating back to 1871. Continue on to Katherine, your gateway to Nitmiluk National Park and the spectacular Katherine Gorge. This region is made for getting outdoors with scenic hikes, canoeing, river cruises, refreshing swims, and immersive Aboriginal cultural experiences. Take a dip at the Katherine Hot Springs, these thermal pools are fed by a natural spring and are the perfect way to unwind.

PARK

Nitmiluk National Park lies just 30km from Katherine. See the gorge system from above on a scenic helicopter flight, drift between towering sandstone walls on a guided gorge cruise, or paddle at your own pace on a self-guided canoe trip. Prefer to stay on land? Well-marked walking tracks wind through the park, revealing lookouts, rock art sites and sweeping views.

Begin the journey north back towards Darwin with a stop at Leliyn (Edith Falls). A short walk brings you to a plunge pool for a cooling swim. From here, it’s around a 2.5-hour drive to Litchfield National Park, celebrated for its easily accessible yet beautifully unspoiled wilderness. Spend the afternoon swimming beneath the cascades at Florence Falls, or take it slow at Buley Rockhole, a series of shallow rock pools.

Leaving Litchfield, make your way back to Darwin with a stop at the Territory Wildlife Park. Set within natural bushland, the park offers an easy, immersive way to experience the Top End’s wildlife up close. Right next door you’ll find Berry Springs Nature Reserve, a great stop for swimming in natural pools and the perfect way to round out an epic holiday.

Red Centre Light Trail

SUNRISE FLIGHTS & STARRY SKIES

Rise before dawn for a hot air balloon flight over the West MacDonnell Ranges. As first light spills across the desert plains, float quietly above it all, then celebrate touchdown with a glass of bubbly. Back on solid ground, ease into the morning with coffee before exploring Alice Springs’ art scene, where Aboriginal artists and local painters share dreamtime stories through canvas and colour.

By afternoon, slow the pace at Desert Palms Alice Springs. Your studio-style villa sits close to the town centre, with a palm-lined pool. If energy allows, the Alice Springs Golf Course is right next door.

As night falls, head out to Earth Sanctuary for an Astro Tour under the Red Centre sky. Learn to navigate by the stars as ancient Aboriginal creation stories weave together with modern astronomy

Settle in for the night at Ellery Creek Big Hole, camping beside one of the Red Centre’s most photogenic waterholes, or return to Alice Springs for a hotel stay.

CANYON LIGHTS & DESERT NIGHTS

Make sure to experience Bruce Munro’s Light-Towers installation after dark or for sunrise.

CULTURAL CONNECTIONS & VIEWS

Rise early for the Kings Canyon Rim Walk in Watarrka National Park. Or opt for the scenic flight instead for a bird’s-eye perspective over Kings Canyon and the George Gill Range. By afternoon, settle in at Kings Creek Station, a working cattle station offering everything from bush tents to premium stays. Round out the day nearby at the Karrke Aboriginal Cultural Experience, learning about bush tucker, bush medicine and traditional skills passed down through generations.

Arrive at UNESCO World Heritage listed UluruKata Tjuta National Park for a walk among the domes of Kata Tjuta, and walk, cycle or segway your way around the 10km base of Uluru. Check in at Ayers Rock Resort, choosing anything from camping and hotel rooms to a standout stay at Longitude 131. As night falls, experience Wintjiri Wiru, a powerful light and sound experience sharing the Mala story through music, lasers and drones, with the option to add a sunset dining experience featuring native ingredients. For a quieter alternative, skip the crowds and opt for an Astro Tour instead, heading away from artificial light with an astronomer and telescopes for a deeper look at the Red Centre sky.

FIELD OF LIGHT

Wake early for Field of Light Uluru, when more than 50,000 glowing spindles shimmer across the desert in the predawn dark. As the sun lifts behind Uluru, colours soften and the landscape shifts one last time.

The Best of the NT

ROCHELLE

HANNAH-EVANS

HOUSE OF TRAVEL

BARRINGTON shares a way to experience all that NT offers. ARRIVE IN ULURU

Arrive at Uluru and enjoy sweeping aerial views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta. That evening, dine under the stars with expert guides who reveal the night sky and telescopes offering a closer look at the constellations.

ULURU TO KINGS CANYON

Start early to experience the Field of Light as dawn breaks over Uluru . Later, take in the landscape from a different perspective on a camel ride at sunset, with sweeping views across to Kata Tjuta. One of the best ways to experience Uluru is by cycling around its base, giving you a close-up feel for the desert landscapes. Then make your way towards Kings Canyon, a 3-hour drive away

KINGS CANYON TO ALICE SPRINGS

ALICE SPRINGS TO TENNANT CREEK

Travel north from Alice Springs to Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles), where massive granite boulders are scattered across a wide open valley. Continue on to Tennant Creek and step back into the Territory’s gold rush past with a mine tour at the Battery Hill Mining Centre.

Begin with the iconic Rim Walk at Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park for epic views across the unique landscape. Enjoy a leisurely 4 to 5-hour drive back to Alice Springs, soaking up the vast and spectacular Outback landscapes en route. The next day, discover the beauty of the West MacDonnell Ranges, with time to visit iconic waterholes and sites such as Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm, Ellery Creek Big Hole, Ormiston Gorge and Glen Helen.

In Alice Springs, drift above the Red Centre at sunrise on a hot air balloon flight, then explore the town’s hands-on attractions. Explore the Alice Springs Reptile Centre, learn about pioneer history at the Royal Flying Doctor Service and the School of the Air, or simply soak up the magic of the outback with a night camping under the stars. As evening falls, join an expert-led nocturnal experience at Alice Springs Desert Park to spot rare wildlife.

TENNANT CREEK TO DALY WATERS

Before leaving Tennant Creek, join a bush tucker trail ride or learn about the region’s Aboriginal heritage at the Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Culture Centre. Then head north to the historic township of Daly Waters, home to the legendary Daly Waters Pub, where a game of bowls in the main street is all part of the fun.

DALY WATERS TO KATHERINE

Just two hours from Daly Waters, stop for a swim at the crystal-clear thermal pools of Mataranka Hot Springs. Then continue on to Katherine, for a classic outback experience that goes beyond sightseeing and takes you into the rhythms of life on the land. At Katherine Outback Experience you’ll see an award-winning outback show that’s grounded in real station life. The show features live demonstrations of horse training and working dog training. Guests can interact with and feed some of the station animals, learn about the skills and relationships that underpin pastoral work, and hear authentic bush tales.

KATHERINE TO COOINDA, KAKADU

NATIONAL PARK

Spend the morning exploring Nitmiluk National Park, also known as Katherine Gorge. Cruise the river between towering cliffs, paddle by canoe, take a bush walk or see it all from above on a scenic helicopter flight. Before leaving Katherine, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your understanding of local Aboriginal culture through a Dalabon cultural experience led by Manuel, a proud Dalabon man. Over three hours, he shares his story and traditions while inviting participants to try dot painting, traditional fire lighting and spear throwing. From here, it’s a relaxed three-hour drive to Cooinda.

KAKADU NATIONAL PARK

Cruise the iconic Yellow Water Billabong to spot crocodiles, birdlife and dramatic floodplain scenery. Try a hands-on cultural experience led by local Aboriginal guides, or join a free ranger-guided walk through the rock art sites of Nourlangie or Ubirr.

Head back towards Darwin, stopping along the way for a Jumping Croc cruise on the Adelaide River. Watch enormous saltwater crocodiles launch from the water in an unforgettable display of Top End wildlife.

DARWIN

Back in Darwin, get close to local wildlife at nearby crocodile and nature attractions, or head out on the water to discover why the Top End is famous for its fishing. Take a day trip to the waterfalls and swimming holes of Litchfield National Park, just 1.5 hours south of the city. End your stay to include sunset at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (open Sundays and Thursdays from April to October), where Asian-inspired street food, local crafts and glowing skies create a fitting finale.
