Updated: Aug 1

Explore the Historic Stokes Hill Wharf

A visit to the historic Stokes Hill Wharf is an experience that combines the charm of the past with the beauty of the present. This iconic location is not only steeped in history but also offers a plethora of activities that cater to both relaxation and adventure.

This makes it incredibly convenient for visitors arriving by car, allowing you to focus on enjoying your day without the stress of finding a parking space or incurring fees. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the stunning views of the waterfront, setting the tone for a memorable outing.


Leisure Activities

Once you’re at the wharf, take the time to unwind and immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere. You can laze about while casting a fishing line into the water, perhaps hoping to catch a glimpse of the local marine life or even reel in a fresh dinner. This peaceful pastime is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Alternatively, indulge in a delicious ice cream from one of the wharf vendors. All the while enjoining the gentle sea breeze that sweeps across the wharf, enhancing your overall experience. The combination of the warm sun, the cool breeze, and the delightful flavours of ice cream creates a perfect moment to relax and soak in your surroundings.

You can enjoy a meal at one of the waterfront restaurants, where you can savour fresh seafood and other culinary delights while overlooking the sparkling waters of the harbour. Pair your meal with a refreshing drink and take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking views that surround you.

If you're seeking a bit more adventure, consider joining a harbour cruise. These cruises provide a unique perspective of the stunning Darwin Harbour, allowing you to explore its beauty from the water. As you glide through the waves, you may encounter dolphins, turtles, and other marine wildlife, making for an unforgettable experience.
