- Ann TPascoe Vale, Australia1,439 contributionsAnother great NT water experience. Easily accessible; walks as well as mini-waterfalls; a nice way to cool off after a day's adventure at the Territory Wildlife Park.Written 14 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AquaPacificaGold Coast, Australia1,314 contributionsHuge shed full of weird and wonderful collection of anything with an engine plus a few odd bits relating to the history of Darwin, run by the Darwin Motor Enthusiast Club. It's free to enter although donations are welcome and run by volunteers that can be found working on their bikes and cars in the workshops. They are a friendly bunch and up for a chat if you feel like it. For anything who likes cars, motorbikes, fire engines, trains, it' worth a wander.Written 6 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Peter SAarhus, Denmark793 contributionsWe had a short stop at Howard Springs Nature Park to see the feeding of the Barramuni’s – it was interesting to see. We felt that there was a lot more to see however this was part of a round trip returning to Darwin. The seems to be good for families with children.Written 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AJ PatoKempsey, Australia648 contributionsWhilst on the Darwin history and wartime experience tour we found out about Burnett house. We returned the next day. It’s an excellent example of period homes of Darwin. No only did the bullet holes give an interesting twist to the home’s history but the architecture and design was awesome. So glad the National trust look after such building for us.Written 23 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katrina Magnus41 contributionsWhat a joy this venue is! Situated in the centre of Darwin but it feels like you are miles away. Good selection of films to suit anyone from kiddy type movie on charity night to foreign films and important films about Australian indigenous culture. We saw Seriously Red which is an Australian flick with Celeste Barber and Krew Boylan. They have different food sellers every night of the week and we struck it lucky with Nepalese, a big bowl of chicken and rice and it's licenced as well. You can choose to sit in deckchairs or normal plastic chairs and I loved that you reserved your seat by putting a cushion on it! Also bean bags available if you wanted to sit up the front. It was such a great way to spend my birthday night.Written 28 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fiona2804Melbourne, Australia68 contributionsDefinitely drop in and pay Kai and Casey a visit on Goat Island. Do it by boat or even helicopter if you have the opportunity. True characters of the top end and and so much fun! One of the highlights of our trip and we'd love to return. It's worth noting, political correctness doesn't exist here so if you're that way inclined, buckle up. The irreverence and cheekiness is all in good fun though and we wouldn't change a thing!Written 9 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cronessaAdelaide, Australia5 contributionsWhat a fantastic experience and asset for Darwin. We had a fantastic time solving the haunted circus room which was age appropriate for our 10 and 13 year old. Staff were very friendly and professional. We can't wait to go back and try the other rooms.Written 17 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nalani, our driver and guide, shared her knowledge & love of Kakadu. Our cruise along East Alligator River was very informative. The Sunrise Cruise on the Yellow Waters produced the delights of seeing 2 barking owls, water buffaloes, and many varieties of bird life. A very enthusiastic guide. The highlight was seeing 4 crocodiles!!
We were shown rock art as well. So much to learn and see and enjoy!!
The care, meals, overnight accommodation and our guide are highly recommended.
2 full days we highly recommend! It’s a long way from Darwin to Kakadu!Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just 11 people on the boat. We saw a lot of jumping crocs and bird of prey. I highly recommend this short cruise.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Charlie FCanberra, Australia6 contributionsWe did the 9 day Darwin to Broome trip with Adam as our guide. Our trip was affected by the cyclone in that we had to take an alternate route instead of the closed Gibb River Road. Did that mean our trip wasn’t awesome?? Absolutely not. We experienced so many amazing waterfalls, sunsets and bush camps. Highlights were Lake Argyle and El Questro but the whole experience was fantastic and hard to fault. Food was excellent and plentiful. Be prepared to roll up the sleeves for your fellow travellers and you will have the best time! We were sad to say goodbye to our group and Adam. Thanks again!Written 23 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
