Darwin’s North Australia Barra Fishing operate ‘One Day Fishing Charters’ from May until December, and head to various locations in and around Darwin & surrounds!

They’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Darwin at 5 am, and travel straight to your fishing destination to be out on the water at sunrise. You’ll spend the day out on the water targeting a variety of species and we’ll have you safely back into town by approximately 4 pm.
