Arrive in Darwin and begin your journey in the Top End with an outback-inspired gourmet food and art experience. On a guided walk, uncover cultural sites, historic landmarks and some of the city's colourful street art before settling into a premier restaurant for six signature tasting plates that celebrate the region's freshest local produce.

Leave Darwin behind and begin the day on a Corroboree Billabong wetland cruise, gliding through pristine waterways as crocodiles and colourful birdlife appear among the reeds.

Later, visit Murrawaddi Art Gallery to discover Indigenous stories expressed through artworks rich in tradition and spirituality.

By evening, arrive at Cicada Lodge in Nitmiluk National Park, where comfort and bush surrounds come together in spectacular style.
