Instead, visit a selection of top restaurants with possibilities including Snapper Rocks, Little Miss Korea, and Speakers Corner, and enjoy gourmet tasting plates. Every tour is slightly different, so you might dine with a view of the harbor, feast on fresh seafood, or sample Aboriginal bush tucker.

Stop At:
Darwin Street Art, Austin Lane, Darwin, Northern Territory 0800 Australia
Austin Lane, West Lane and other areas: an unexpected surprise when wandering Darwin's city streets is the murals that adorn the walls of our laneways. Since 2017, the Darwin Street Art Festival has brought vibrancy and colour to the city's walls, with international, national and local artists contributing to the large-scale art gallery. We’ll have photo opportunities in Darwin's celebrated Austin Lane, home to giant street art paintings.
Duration: 35 minutes
Stop At:
The Old Town Hall, 13 Smith St, Darwin, Northern Territory 0800 Australia
On Christmas Eve 1974, after almost a century enduring tropical conditions and 64 air raids during World War II, Darwin's Town Hall literally started crumbling during Cyclone Tracy. The heritage building—erected 14 years after European settlers arrived in the region in 1869—was damaged beyond repair by the natural disaster, as was much of the city. Some of our tours will have photo opportunities at this heritage-listed site, a testament to the destructive power of the cyclone that destroyed much of Darwin.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At:
Darwin Waterfront Precinct, 19B Kitchener Dr, Darwin City NT 0800, Australia
This is a great place to find gourmet food and drink, not to mention that it’s set on a beautiful lagoon on Darwin Harbour. Our tour is constantly changing and we feature different establishments on different days of the week. Waterfront restaurants on our tour can include Wharf One, Hot Tamale, Snapper Rocks, Chow, and others. Weather permitting, we’ll dine outside with a view of the harbour.
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
