5 Adventure sports in Darwin Australia

If you want adventure and excitement on your holiday, this list will give you the inside scoop on where to go to get your fix. The Northern Territory is definitely the place for you. 

Hellfishing

Like to fish in the more remote locations of the NT that’s where Hellfishing comes. It’s more than just a fishing tour, its adventure equipped with a fishing reel via helicopter. If fishing isn’t your style, take a scenic helicopter tour over Litchfield National Park, world heritage-listed Kakadu National Park or over the tropical city of Darwin.

Hot Air Balloon Ride

You don’t have to jump out of a plane to see the Red Centre from above. Outback Ballooning gives you the view while keeping you firmly planted in a basket. Let the wind take you across the breathtaking landscape as the sun slowly rises over the Outback. Leave near Alice Springs and see the MacDonnell Ranges in all their beauty. Catch a glimpse of native wildlife such as the red kangaroo and be inspired by the remoteness and beauty of the desert. 

Quad Biking

Hit the road on a quad safari adventure that takes you partly through a cattle station, rolling over red sand dunes and spotting local wildlife in the bush. Kings Creek Station gives you a true outback experience in the Red Centre. A license or  previous experience is not required.

Skydiving

Skydiving is the ultimate adrenaline rush. Who wouldn’t want to jump out of a plane 14,000 ft above the ground with nothing but you and your parachute (and tandem partner of course)! Whether you tandem skydive the beach in Darwin, tandem dive Katherine, or above the heart of Oz over Uluru, get a spectacular view of the NT along with the sheer excitement of jumping out of a plane.

Swimming with crocs

Nobody will encourage you to swim with crocodiles but however there is one exception in the Cage of Death at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin city. It’s 15 minutes of pure exhilaration as you get up-close and personal with a large crocodile.
