From the wildlife and ancient rock art of Kakadu National Park to the iconic rock formations of Uluru and Kata Tjuta, there really is no place on earth quite like the Northern Territory. Adventure through the heart of Australia, cruise Katherine Gorge, hike Kings Canyon, or soak in a secluded swimming hole surrounded by the sound of nature on a guided tour or short break to the Northern Territory.
Northern Territory must do experiences and highlights
Kings Canyon Rim Walk
Follow a spectacular circuit showcasing the colourful canyon walls, the lush foliage of the Garden of Eden, and the sandstone domes of The Lost City as you hike Kings Canyon.
Cruise Katherine Gorge
This breathtaking collection of 13 gorges stretches along 12km (7.5mi) where you can wind your way between sheer rock faces shooting more than 70m (230ft) toward the sky.
Kata Tjuta (The Olgas)
Marvel at the rock formations as you explore this intriguing site, weaving between the domes on foot or perhaps take to the sky for a panoramic view by helicopter.
Changing Colours of Uluru
Watch as the dark silhouette is set ablaze at sunrise, spreading a warm glow much like your coffee in hand does. At sunset the colours are electric, a perfect setting to bid farewell to a day in the Red Centre.
Kakadu National Park
Travel through floodplains and marvel at sheer gorges, tumbling waterfalls, and Aboriginal rock art. Spot wildlife as you cruise the Yellow Water Billabong and be transported back some 20,000 years at the galleries of Ubirr.

What our clients are saying about their Red Centre and Top End journeys
Travelling to the Northern Territory and particularly Kakadu National Park is something that I wanted to do for some time. I enjoyed the trip even though it was sizzling hot and humid. We were a group of 12 on the tour from different countries and we all got along very well. The Aboriginal art rock was very interesting. But I would have liked more interaction read more with the First Nation people. And yes, I liked the city of Darwin too.
The start of this tour began with Tracey - a great beginning for any travel plans! As always, proactive and responsive with any advice or assistance needed.
This was a wonderful tour from the start in Darwin to my finish in Broome. It ticked a number of the wonderful bucket list items Australia offers. The group was a friendly, engaging one and more read more than ably led by Tour Director Sue and Coach Captain Jaime. Apparently the first time they had worked together and certainly an ‘A Team’. Very interested and caring of all on board. The tour was most enjoyable, fun, smooth, with plenty of information provided to make the most of the experiences and areas/places we went through. So many highlights – among them Kununurra, the Durack Homestead and El Questro.
A number of us were unaware of optional tours available. I had privately prebooked the Horizontal Falls tour in Broome before leaving home and was able to get a seat on the Bungle Bungles optional flight. These were not included in the tour and though expensive are a 'must do' if at all possible. This is a tour I would certainly recommend. However more advance information provided re optional opportunities would be very helpful.
Fabulous Kimberley tour Untamed KimberleyBeverley and Donald, VIC, Australia, Aug 2025
Our Untamed Kimberley tour with AAT Kings was wonderful. Global Journeys made all the arrangements for us and responded quickly to all our enquiries.
This was an incredible trip, a trip of a lifetime. It was a great time of year to go, leaving Darwin on 12 August 2025. We were lucky to have a very experienced Tour Manager as our guide the whole way. Carolyn was very familiar with the entire area, and knew many of the local guides and hotel managers personally. This was helpful for our optional trips. read more Our coach driver, Macca, was excellent. He washed the coach every day and kept our windows clean for great viewing from the coach. Everyone on this trip got on well with each other and we felt like a big family, helping each other if needed. The accommodations were excellent (even in remote areas), and the food delicious. Group dinners, when provided, were delicious and we could select from a few options for each course. Carolyn also made sure that those with special dietary needs were catered for each day. I was lucky to have Grace as my travel advisor at Global Journeys, and she kept on top of my bookings and transfers. It was a pleasure to work with her. Other travel agencies could not get me the AAT Kings discounts (like being a previous traveler with AAT Kings), so luckily I found Grace and she got them for me!
What a great showcase of Australia’s inland beauty. From the grandeur of Uluru to the magnificence of Lake Eyre in flood. Every day with its own highlight - totally understated in the supplied itinerary. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Comfortable transport, very knowlegeable and capable driver and best available accommodation, make this a full read more comfort tour of really remote Australia. Highly recommended - great value tour.
A brilliant journey across Australia. We went as far as Alice Springs (which was enough for us as we didn't sleep particularly well on the train), food, drinks and service were excellent. We would highly recommend this.
