A direct shuttle from Darwin to Berry Springs and the Territory Wildlife Park gives you a full day of cooling geothermal pools and close wildlife viewing without the driving. Bring swimwear, insect repellent and entry fees for the park — the shuttle handles transport and timing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the air‑conditioned shuttle into warm, eucalyptus‑scented air and hear the springs before you see them — water nudging rocks, an invitation to cool down. The morning run out of Darwin drops visitors first at Berry Springs, a geothermal pool fed by clear underground streams, then carries you through low savanna to the Territory Wildlife Park where mangroves, monsoon woodlands and aviaries hold the region’s creatures.
