Things to do in Northern Territory
Why visit Northern Territory?
The Northern Territory is the spiritual heart of Australia. At its centre rises Uluru — a vast sandstone monolith sacred to the Anangu people — alongside the domes of Kata Tjuta and the sheer walls of Kings Canyon. Sunrise and sunset over the Red Centre are experiences travellers never forget.
In the Top End, Kakadu and Litchfield national parks offer ancient rock art, plunging waterfalls and crocodile-filled wetlands, with Darwin as the tropical gateway. Compare the best Northern Territory tours and experiences below — Uluru base walks, multi-day outback safaris and Kakadu adventures — all from trusted operators.
NT tours — frequently asked questions
No — climbing Uluru closed permanently in 2019 out of respect for its Anangu traditional owners, but base walks and cultural tours are highly recommended.
Most travellers fly into Ayers Rock (Yulara) airport, or join a multi-day tour from Alice Springs.
