General Information

Climate & what to bring

darwin weather chartDuring the dry season from May to September maximum daytime temperature ranges between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius. Night time minimums range from 14 to 20. Humidity level is low and it can be surprisingly chilly at sea so we suggest you bring long pants and a sweater or jacket.

In October temperatures begin to rise, as does the humidity level. However, this can also be the best month for Barramundi.

In the wet season from November to April very light clothing is best as temperature and humidity can climb. These conditions also suit the mosquitoes, so when fishing the creeks in dinghies, especially at night, lightweight long pants and long sleeve shirts are useful. Lightweight wet weather gear would also be handy.

Between December and March you can expect rain, often quite heavy in January and February.

At all times of the year you should wear a wide brimmed hat during the day. Also bring your preferred sunscreen and DEET based mosquito repellent.

Don’t forget any required medication, your camera/video equipment and rods, reels and favourite lures.

Advise us in advance if you have any special dietary requirements or preferences and we will cater accordingly.

Why not take advantage of our 6.5m3 freezer room and take some of your catch home. We will be pleased to arrange airline approved cartons so that your friends and family can also enjoy that special taste of the Top End! (Territory bag limits apply)
