Experiences
Tourism, Tropics, 'n' Top Times - The Territory's got it all. Listed as one of the world's top ten cities to visit by Lonely Planet, Darwin is simply an amazing place to spend a little time - or a lot. With some of the world's most important natural places on its doorstep there is never a lack of things to do.
Step out of your comfort zone and eyeball a croc in the 'cage of death' or take your seat for a thrilling jet boat ride. Grab some bait and throw out a line from a jetty or join a fishing charter - you could find yourself hauling in one of the big barras that are at home in Darwin's tropical waters.
Staying at Mantra Pandanas positions you on the edge of Darwin's large harbor and in the heart of this beautiful, fascinating tropical city - a melting pot of people and cultures that prides itself in its unique and friendly laid-back lifestyle.
