Fishing Holidays in the Northern Territory


There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush you experience when you hook your first big barramundi – or even your fiftieth. And as unlikely as that sounds, in the Territory’s untouched, fish filled waters, it’s a reality.

Scan glistening rivers and billabongs for saratoga and fork tailed catfish, and keep an eye out for our mighty saltwater crocodiles. Luckily, there’s more than enough catch for the two of you!


Venture out to ocean reefs and chase jewfish, red emperor and spanish mackerel, with the tropical Tiwi Islands in the background.


Tie these exciting Northern Territory fishing adventures in with a number of fishing competitions and events held in the Top End!
