About Us

We have a taste for this

We’re long-time Darwin locals and we have a genuine passion for good food and drink. We can’t wait for you to taste and drink the best of Darwin on our guided walking food and drink tours. Join our relaxed tours and sample the best our amazing corner of the world has to offer, featuring Darwin's best restaurants.

Our background is a smorgasbord

We believe that our unique and constantly-changing itineraries offer what gourmet travellers want in cuisine and beverage tours. And we have a lot of experience in this area to know that. Our guides have worked extensively in hospitality and tourism—as fine dining waiters, sommeliers, cocktail bartenders, bar managers and more. We’ve served up the goods everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to NT Parliament House, and from Lizard Island to Mt Cook. Now, it’s our pleasure to serve you in the City of Darwin, one of the world’s leading tropical destinations.

Access and Inclusion

Our Commitment to Accessible Tourism
We are dedicated to providing welcoming and meaningful tour experiences for all visitors to the Northern Territory. We believe every person should have the opportunity to explore the unique landscapes and rich history of the Top End with dignity and respect. While the remote and rugged nature of the Territory presents inherent accessibility challenges, we are committed to making reasonable adjustments to accommodate the diverse needs of our guests.

Physical Access and Mobility
We use modern, air-conditioned coaches where applicable, prioritizing comfort and safety.

Mobility Devices: If you require the use of a wheelchair, walker, or other mobility aid, please notify us at the time of booking. Due to space limitations on our vehicles, we need advance notice to confirm storage and loading arrangements.

Site Limitations: Please note that many remote sites, lookouts, and natural walking trails in the NT feature uneven surfaces, unpaved tracks, and steps. We cannot guarantee full wheelchair access at every location. Our guides will always point out the most accessible routes available.

Assistance: Our guides are happy to provide non-physical assistance and information to ensure your experience is safe and enjoyable.

Communication and Sensory Needs
Assistance Animals: We welcome all registered and appropriately certified assistance animals on our tours. Please notify us during the booking process.
