Mangrove Boardwalk

About

A hidden darwin gem where you can swim and float down a mangrove boardwalk at high tide.

Why go

• Experience the thrill of the ocean completely submerging the end of the walkway
• Walking through the mangroves with the water flowing beneath and around the boardwalk was such a unique experience
• This was the most fun thing I have done in Darwin

Must try

• Swim on the mangrove boardwalk
• Walk through the upper canopy of a flooded marine forest
• Spot fiddler crabs and mudskippers

Pro tips

• Visit during a 7+ metre flood tide
• Check the tide times online before you go
• Located just a short 10-minute drive north of the Darwin CBD
• Park your car, walk down the path

Good to know

• This is strictly active crocodile territory
• Be aware of box jellyfish
• Avoid tides over 7m or the boardwalk will be underwater
