Top 3 Things to Do During the Wet Season in Darwin
Always warm and with plenty to see and do, Darwin is paradise when it comes to holiday destinations for families. Even in the wet season, it’s a great place to visit. In fact, it’s a common misconception that it rains constantly during the green season. When the rain does come, it often brings a welcoming temperature change as well as the unique smells that come when rain and hot earth meet.
When it comes to great Darwin accommodation, Hudson Apartment Hotels have got the perfect option for you, whether you’re looking for short and long term stays. Here are the top 3 activities we recommend during the wet season.
1. See the Crocodiles
Few animals fascinate visitors to the Northern Territory as much as the prehistoric crocodiles. Both saltwater and freshwater crocs are found throughout the rivers and water systems in Darwin. It’s the larger salties, however, that really capture people’s attention. Discover the world’s largest reptiles at a number of places close to our Darwin accommodation during the wet season.
This includes Crocosaurus Cove, a wildlife park in the centre of Darwin, where you can get real close to crocs in tanks. Crocodylus Park is 15 minutes away from Darwin and is home to over a thousand crocodiles across its extensive grounds. You can also see the beasts in the wild by going on a guided cruise across the Mary River wetlands and floodplain.
2. Parap Market
The vibrant Parap Markets are held every Saturday from 8am until 2pm, making it the perfect place to visit while you’re at our Parap accommodation. Discover a tantalising array of Asian cuisine, freshly ground coffee, local produce, unique arts and crafts and delicious tropical smoothies.
3. Go for a Swim
Rain isn’t the only way to get wet during Darwin’s warm wet seasons. There are plenty of options close to our Darwin hotel and our Berrimah accommodation. This includes Wave Lagoon, where you can live out your surfer dreams. Those after some water slide action can opt for Leanyer Water Park while those after a more traditional pool experience can try the Nightcliff Pool, packed with old Darwin charm and great views on offer.
