BEST TIME TO GO

Top months to do this tour

The Heli Fish Pub Crawl Darwin operates during much of the year, although the experience varies with the seasons. The dry season offers reliable flying conditions and comfortable temperatures, while the wet season transforms the landscape into a lush, green wilderness with dramatic skies and flowing waterways.

Season	Typical Conditions	Best Time to Visit
April – June	Comfortable temperatures, green landscapes left by the wet season and excellent conditions for both helicopter flying and barramundi fishing.	★★★★★
July – August	Peak dry season with mild weather, crystal-clear skies and outstanding visibility for scenic helicopter flights across the Top End.	★★★★★
September – October	Warm, sunny days provide excellent flying conditions, while fishing remains productive before the arrival of the wet season.	★★★★☆
November – March	The tropical wet season creates spectacular green scenery and dramatic cloud formations. Tours are weather dependent, but those that operate offer a completely different perspective of the Top End.	★★★☆☆

The dry season (April to October) is generally regarded as the best time to experience the Heli Fish Pub Crawl, offering the most reliable weather, excellent flying conditions and comfortable temperatures. However, travellers during the wet season may be rewarded with lush landscapes, swollen waterways and dramatic tropical scenery that make for an equally memorable adventure when conditions permit.
