Scenic Flights in Darwin

The dry season (May to October) is generally the best time to experience Darwin’s scenic flights due to the clear skies and pleasant weather. However, even during the wet season, you’ll see beautiful green landscapes and roaring waterfalls, making it a spectacular time for flights over Kakadu and the wetlands.

Scenic flights can range from quick 30-minute tours of Darwin’s city and coastline to full-day experiences over Kakadu National Park or the wetlands. Most tours are flexible, offering both short and extended flight options to suit your schedule.

Absolutely! Many scenic flights are paired with additional activities such as wildlife tours, cultural experiences, or airboat adventures. A wetlands airboat adventure, for example, lets you take to the skies before hitting the water for an up-close encounter with the wildlife.

Yes! Scenic flights are a fantastic experience for all ages. Be sure to check with the tour provider for specific age restrictions or child-friendly options, but most flights welcome families and children.

It’s always a good idea to bring a camera for those unforgettable aerial views, along with sunscreen and sunglasses if your flight is during the day. Comfortable clothing and footwear are also recommended, especially if your tour includes any on-ground activities like walking tours or boat rides.
