DARWIN MAJOR EVENTS

There a multiple great events that happen annually in Darwin and for those travelling to the Top End for the event why not take advantage of the other premium helicopter experiences that both Nautilus Aviation and HeliFish have to offer!.

The Darwin Triple Crown is held annually in June at Hidden Valley Raceway with more heart-pounding, adrenalin – pumping motor sports action than ever! The Darwin Cup Carnival is a major horse racing event held annually on the first Monday of August in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It is one of the biggest and most vibrant sporting and social events in the Northern Territory, attracting thousands of visitors from across Australia and beyond.

And.. From 19—21 September 2025, the world’s greatest riders, teams and bikes will descend on the Top End of Australia to put on one of the greatest shows in the motorsport calendar: MXGP of Australia.  The event, hosted by Northern Territory Major Events Company, will take place on a purpose-built track at Hidden Valley Motorsports Complex in Darwin and be broadcast to over 100 countries. The soon to be built, custom-designed track promises exceptional spectator areas to watch the world’s top motocross riders.

Our HeliFishing tours are the best in the business, flying over impressive top end landscapes to abundant permit-only fishing grounds targeting the mighty Barramundi. HeliFish offer both Full and Half Day fishing experiences, a fishing and pub crawl combo or in what’s become somewhat of an institution in Darwin, our signature Heli Pub Crawl which is one very cool way to beat the heat!

You and your mates, chauffeured like rockstars between 4 of the Top End’s most iconic pubs.  Enjoy incredible aerial views of Darwin and surrounds, flying along stunning coastline, beaches and estuaries, over creeks and seasonal wetlands with chance wildlife sightings along the way. Meet the people, publicans, characters and critters that make each one unique!

When you are organising your trip to Darwin for these events think HeliFish & Nautilus Aviation for the best ”things to do”  in Darwin.
