Berry Springs is one of my favourite swimming holes in the Top End, and a must for visitors, natural flowing springs with varying depths for all ages, jump on your airbed and float around and relax and soak in the tropical surrounds or swim through to the next pool. There are barbeque facilities, so grab some snags and bread on the way, or pack a picnic lunch, plenty of room for the kids to run around, play ball games or just relax under the shady trees. There is a kiosk which sells drinks & ice creams. You could incorporate it with a trip to the nearby Wildlife Park. A must for visiting families.
Love going to this place and taking visitors too. Has BBQ facilities that you can have family functions at, good parking, busy during dry season as can be expected, checked to be sure its open and not closed due to croc sightings or water flow before attending.
A 30 minute drive from Darwin on sealed road, Berry Springs offers 3 natural pools to swim in. A great escape from the humidity and heat, the park also has many picnic tables and shaded areas. Well worth the visit.
Spectacular setting with water running through rain forest vistas,very sorene and quiet location,an easy drive from Darwin,well worth visiting this little oasis
I went here for the day ,there wasn't many people because it's the start of the wet season and you can't swim it's 1000 dollar fine if you do .but would be a great spot to swim in the dry season,lots of birds very green heaps of trees and shade also toilets ,great family day out take a picnic awesome
Fantastic location in the territory, only a short drive from the Darwin CBD. Beautiful spot to spend a whole day and have lunch or a picnic. Easy parknig and a short walk down to the springs. Heaps of spacious BBQ facilities and can take snacks etc down to the pools (no glass bottles though). Even when it's busy there's still room to swim around and chill amongst the springs. Simply stunning location.
Loved the serenity at these beautiful pools. Definitely bring a pool floaty if you're wanting to lounge around for awhile. Everything was great until I saw a goanna swimming and I thought it was a crocodile.Not keen to get back swimming in the holes, but could probably be convinced on a nice day because of the great views!
Great place for a BBQ & a swim. With a number of different 'pools', makes it easy to find a quiet spot away from any loud groups that may be about. Plenty of shade and BBQ facilities, toilets, picnic tables. Not open during the wet of course, but can always check on the Parks & Wildlife website for opening information.
good spot to get out of town and have a picnic or BBQ, water is fresh and good for a swim although pick the correct time of year as you cannot swim all year round. A lot of shade also to avoid the sun
Berry Springs is just 1 hour south of Darwin. Worth the drive. The Nature Park has a great swimming hole - check before venturing into the water to ensure there are no snappers in residence.http://www.parksandwildlife.nt.gov.au/parks/find/berrysprings#.VOpvey5GR2A
