March to May is the cheapest time to fly to Darwin. Outside of the April school holidays, this period is a good time to travel. There is higher rainfall during this period as it's the wet season in Darwin, but the rain brings a certain beauty to the Top End as it renews the land and plant life and provides water for the animals that live there.
We think mid-June to mid-September is the best time to visit Darwin for weather and activities. However, July and August are considered to be the high season, which means it's the most expensive time to fly to Darwin.
