Its popular waterfront area has several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. Also near the water is the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, displaying Southeast Asian and Pacific art, plus a pearling lugger and other seafaring vessels. Our lovely driver will pick you up at the airport and then transfer you to the hotel. You can relax and use the rest of the day to explore the city.

### Day 2: Darwin - Katherine Gorge

Leaving Darwin we travel south through tropical country, passing former WWII airstrips en route to Adelaide River. Make a short stop at the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a site dedicated to those killed in the air raids in Darwin in the 1940's.

After your included lunch, we join a 2-hour scenic cruise through Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park, with a chance to see freshwater crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks of the river and many interesting species of birdlife. Our cruise of the first two gorges takes us past sheer rock walls and requires a short walk to reach the second gorge.
