Best time to go.
The best times to visit the Northern Territory are during the dry season (May to October). These months provide warm days, cooler nights, and minimal rainfall, ideal for exploring national parks, outback landscapes, and cultural sites.
Time difference.
Northern Territory operates 3 hours and 30 minutes behind New Zealand, so there will be a time difference to adjust to upon arrival.

Saltwater Country & Culture
Journey through the remote cultures and coastlines of the
Tiwi Islands, Arnhem Land, the Gulf, Cape York and the Torres Strait.
This voyage journeys deep into remote saltwater country, engaging with communities and celebrating people and culture well beyond art centre visits. Here, ancient knowledge offers enduring solutions to modern challenges, as personal stories reveal Indigenous agency, ingenuity and the cultural skills that continue to sustain thriving communities.
Alongside these rich cultural connections, the voyage explores an environmental tapestry. From internationally recognised wetlands to striking red volcanic landscapes, and onward to geologically diverse coastlines alive with marine and bird life.
