Northern Territory

From soul-stirring sunrises over the ochre sands of the Red Centre against a glittering canopy of stars, through to the Top End's pristine waterfalls and wildlife rich-wetlands, the Northern Territory captivates with untamed natural splendour and spiritual allure. Indulge in the flavours of Aussie bush tucker and contemplate a different world and time in the warm glow of sunset to the tunes of the didgeridoo, timeless Dreamtime landscapes and stories that tell tale of an indigenous culture's ancient connection with the immortal Outback – this is Australia at its most magical, alluring and profound.

From the captivating Kakadu National Park to Katherine Gorge to the Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park, Northern Territory tours around Australia’s Top End and Red Centre will take you through some of the most beautiful locations this region has on offer while allowing you to have an amazing experience, immersing yourself in the rich history and First Nations culture brought to life by ancient rock art created by the traditional owners of the land.

AAT Kings Northern Territory tours are an excellent way to enjoy a true Australian outback experience while travelling in comfort. There's nothing quite like watching the setting sun behind the termite mounds of  Litchfield National Park or sampling local Indigenous flavours at an exclusive BBQ dinner, the only evening dining experience inside Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
