Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Explore the diverse wildlife and habitats of the Northern Territory during this fun-filled, half-day excursion to the Territory Wildlife Park.


Territory Wildlife Park, Tree-Top Aviaries, Lagoon

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive to Darwin's Territory Wildlife Park. Upon arrival, you will have access to all areas of the park and the park rangers will be available at each exhibit to talk to you about the exhibits such as the park's Nocturnal House where you can a look at the creatures of the night. Explore the different habitats and ecosystems of northern Australia, discover the nocturnal animals that inhabit this area and feel free to ask questions along the way. Many of the animals here are not found in zoos or wildlife parks anywhere else in the world.


Aquarium, Flora & Fauna, Whip Rays, Giant Barramundi, Saltwater Crocodile

Next, experience the watery depths of the park's Aquarium. Your journey of discovery starts in the small rock pools of sandstone escarpment country, and showcases the unique flora and fauna that is found in this harsh environment. Travel down streams and tributaries into the big northern Australian rivers. Here, walk under a 'river' where freshwater whip rays and giant barramundi swim overhead. In addition, meet the park's large, saltwater crocodile, 'Graham', and see the coral and fish that live offshore. At the conclusion of your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately one-hour drive back to the pier.

Note

Please note: This tour involves a moderate amount of walking for approximately 0.3-0.6 miles (about 500 metres - 1 kilometre), at times over uneven surfaces and inclines, with three-four steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach. This tour is suitable for guests with limited mobility, but is not wheelchair-accessible. Guests are advised to wear lightweight, comfortable clothing with flat, closed-toe walking shoes, and bring sun protection and a light jacket from the ship. Guests cannot stay on the coach for extended visits to venues, as the air-conditioning on the coach does not work without the engine running. The park's Aquarium and Nocturnal House are air-conditioned. The tour sequence may vary. Space on this tour is very limited; we suggest you book in advance to avoid disappointment.
