The Northern Territory’s unique landscape gives birth to a wide range of wonderful activities. From the startling beauty of the Northern Territory’s red center, to the croc-filled wetlands of Kakudu National Park, this fascinating pocket of Australia is worth a long, activity-filled holiday. Seeing the stunning landscapes around the Northern Territory should be done via balloon tours. These magnificent yet early morning trips around the Red Centre’s Alice Springs offer the most impressive and memorable sightseeing tours in the territory.

However, not all tourist activities are done in the air. Both the top end region and the center of Australia boast excellent hiking trails that pass through unrivalled scenic landscapes. Both the activities listed above, plus many more, can be experienced throughout the year. However, there are some that are more suited to specific months of the year.

A year round adventure worth experiencing is outback ballooning. Within the Northern Territory, Alice Springs hosts the most incredible ballooning environment, as most days of the year are clear with light winds. Remember to check out the early morning sunrise over the crimson horizon.

The Northern Territory’s rivers, coasts and estuaries may be home to a number of unwelcoming residents (such as crocodiles), but the waterways are filled with amazing fishing opportunities. Fish the Top End Tours leave Darwin and towns along the coast of Arnhem Land regularly, taking customers to a host of spectacular fishing spots.

Swimming is quite popular within the territory, as the hot weather and endless waterways create the perfect swimming combination. Nevertheless, visitors need to be aware that some rivers, creeks and streams are dangerous for swimming. Try Berry Springs or Jim Jim Falls for relaxing swimming spots with Territory Expeditions.

While exploring the national parks, like Kakadu and Uluru, there are plenty of sites that allow rock art sightseeing. These paintings on the walls of cliffs, crevices, and caves are among the oldest early human artwork seen in the world. APT Touring can make package arrangements for rock art viewing.

Explore the beauty of the Northern Territory’s diverse landscapes by walking tours. Two famous walks for tourists to experience include the Jatbula Trail and the Larapinta Trail. Even though these walking trails stretch for hundreds of miles, visitors can still explore part of the walking tracks regardless. Australian Wilderness Adventures can make this happen.

See the magnificent gaps and gorges that the Northern Territory is dotted with by helicopter flights. Although this activity can be quite expensive, there is no better way to see the awe-inspiring site of Australia’s red center or top end region than by traveling by helicopter. Viator is a reliable company offering helicopter tours.

Hit the road and go four-wheeling with Adventure Tours Australia. The Northern Territory is sprawling with an extensive network of dirt tracks and roadways. Of course, it is best to experience this activity through organized tours.
