Swimming at the waterfall...
Swimming at the waterfall was amazing, landing in the gorge was quite something, the whole 100 minutes was just a fantastic experience.

Loved it
We loved the commentary by the driver and really enjoyed the locations she took us to. We had been to Darwin before but had not taken a tour of the city.

Compulsory Tour
Best way to see Darwin and the locations of the main sites to get a feel for the area, definitely a must do and very reasonable for the information provided, distance covered and the ability to get on and off at specific sites of interest. The driver was excellent providing a background to the real Darwin history as well as an overview of the main sites and key information about the site. Plan to do a full round trip first up to see where sites are located with respect to your accommodation then visit those furtherest away first. Additional note: Darwin public buses are free so check the bus number and route as they are worthwhile to go to and from some of the more popular sites however keep in mind that the only way truly get the most out of a trip that may be limited in time in the Darwin City Explorer Tour.
