Campervan hire from Darwin Airport is the perfect start to any epic journey across Australia! Located in the tropical north of Australia, Darwin is an ideal base for adventurous travellers. Here are some must-see spots and national parks to add to your Northern Territory itinerary: 

Darwin City 

Darwin City offers a unique blend of natural beauty and vibrant culture. A must-see is Mindil Beach, famous for its stunning sunsets that paint the sky with brilliant hues.

Wander through the Darwin Waterfront Precinct, where you can relax in the wave lagoon and view the Darwin Harbour when dining at waterfront restaurants. 

You won't miss the Northern Territories golden hour - a period shortly after sunrise and before sunset when the sunlight is softer and more diffused, creating a warm, golden glow. 

For a taste of local flora and fauna, the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens offers a lush retreat with diverse plant species and serene walking trails.

Another captivating destination that adds to the list of famous national parks is Nitmiluk, formerly known as Katherine Gorge. 

Located approximately three hours south of Darwin, Nitmiluk National Park offers a breathtaking landscape carved by the mighty Katherine River. The park is known for its dramatic sandstone cliffs, ancient Aboriginal rock art sites, and a series of stunning gorges that can be explored by boat, canoe, or on foot.
