Ditch the dining room for an open-air market or dine under the stars and feast on fresh flavours prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Take a sunset cruise, book a bush tucker experience or join a foodie tour to taste your way through the Northern Territory.

Travelling to the NT? Make things a lot more exciting with these not-so-regular foodie activities:

 

Savour an Aboriginal Desert Feast

If you are exploring Uluru and the surrounds, add Tali Wiru to your checklist, too. Organised by Ayers Rock Resort, Tali Wiru is a dining experience that offers a beautiful blend of culture, nature and cuisine – in the desert. It includes a 4-course platter including premium wine.
The flavourful meal is accompanied by the distant views of Kata-Tjuta domes and the sky with a hunch of the night. Once you are over with the dinner, learn about the history and traditions from the storytellers, because this whole dining experience would be incomplete without that.

Relish a Dinner Cruise

All aboard a dinner cruise with a sundowner that focusses its glimmer on you. Sounds dreamy? This is something the Australia’s Northern Territory does effortlessly.
All you have to do is head to Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge which offers luxurious organic dining experiences on the boat. Relish the meal with a glass of sparkling wine and witness the remarkable view as the sky’s hue reflect off the water and create a breath-taking atmosphere.
We suggest you go for a candle-lit dinner with your beloved, family or friends – this experience is for every mood.

Fish & Sample a Barramundi

Feeling adventurous? Say yes to a fishing tour and test your limits as you attempt to catch Barramundi. Be it the Mary River or Darwin Harbour, or on a Heli-fish tour, these experiences are ones that will start tantalising your tongue before the actual feast begins. After this riveting time, head to the cafe where a table full of tempting servings, including the barra and other Northern Territory delights, await you. Enhance the taste of it all with sparkling wine.

Enjoy BBQ under the Starry Sky

Here is something absolutely raw and captivating for you – The Spirit of the Outback dining & show. Orchestrated at Earth Sanctuary, in the charming town of Alice Springs, it is an exclusive event operated and offered by a family who traverse the profound world of astronomy with home-cooked BBQ. While you choose something to savour from a delectable menu, the scarlet sunset views and the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges make this time lot more meaningful. Maybe you want to take out your camera and add to your travel memories before digging in?

Go on a Gourmet Tour

When in Darwin, take a gourmet tour. Easily one of the most satisfying culinary adventures in NT, Darwin Gourmet Tour is a must-try foodie expedition that introduces you to a variety of eateries in the town with a touristy twist. From aboriginal bush food to tropical fruits, you will find the freshest local produce in the town during this activity. Make the most of this experience by opting for a guided tour.
