Take a dip in Berry Springs
Darwin & Surrounds
For nature-loving couples, Berry Springs delivers on romance. Just 47 kilometres out of Darwin, Berry Springs Nature Park is a place where you can take the plunge into some of the clearest waters in the Top End. Snorkel with the friendly fish or float on a colourful inflatable, all to a soundtrack of native birds in the trees above. After, dry off over a packed picnic as you take in the beauty of the surrounding woodlands or wander through a cooling monsoon forest. Berry Springs Nature Park

Taste the local produce at a Mango Farm
Darwin & Surrounds
After a swim at Berry Springs, stop in at the nearby Crazy Acres Mango Farm and indulge in one of the Territory’s tastiest treats. Head over in the early afternoon as the sun is beginning to dip low over the 25-acre farm, illuminating acres of sweet-smelling mango trees with stunning golden light. A mango-lover’s heaven, you can try everything from fresh mango ice cream to decadent cheesecake and sweet smoothie bowls. Mango trees are the symbol of love, wealth and fertility, so it’s well worth visiting with the one you love. Crazy Acres Mango Farm

It’s all about the company, and with that special someone by your side this outback experience will be an affair to remember. Lace up your boots and set out for a day of extraordinary views, sandstone landscapes and more than a few Instagram-worthy photo spots, including a stop at the breathtaking Garden of Eden.

Katherine & Surrounds
There’s nothing more soothing that the clear, warm water of the scenic Katherine Hot Springs to relax and revive after a day spend in the great outdoors.

After your swim, relax together over a picnic and take in the raw beauty of the area. Katherine Hot Springs

Camp under the stars at the Devils Marbles
Tennant Creek & Barkly Region
Cozy up under the stars with the one you love and make camp in one of the most spiritual landscapes the Territory has to offer at the Karlu Karlu Conservation Reserve. Formed over millions of years, the Devils Marbles are a geological wonder - huge granite boulders strewn across a valley south of Tennant Creek. By day, explore the mythology of the site with short self-guided walks, then settle in together for a magical sight as the sun sets turning skies mango and the rocks red. Then, cuddle up and watch the sky come alive with stars. Karlu Karlu
