From the mesmerising colour pallete of the Northern Territory to the fascinating natural formations of Western Australia, both states have their highlights. But which one comes out on top?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve decided you want to go on a holiday, you have to answer one of the hardest questions of all; where should you go? If you\u2019re struggling with your decision, we don\u2019t blame you. Australia<\/a> is full of breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary national parks, and heaven-on-earth beaches and both the Northern Territory and Western Australia are no different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking along the plunging cliffs of Kings Canyon<\/a> or reconnecting with country on our tours in the Northern Territory are guaranteed to make your travel-loving heart happy but so will strolling along the vineyards of the Margaret River region and cooling off underneath cascading waterfalls in Western Australia. We see the dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you don\u2019t fancy flipping a coin to determine the destination of your next adventure, we\u2019ve put together a comprehensive guide to make your decision of the Northern Territory vs Western Australia a bit easier.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beaches<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may automatically think that Western Australia has the title of \u2018best beaches\u2019 in the bag but the Northern Territory\u2019s 11,000km coastline tells us otherwise. While you do have to be aware of two dangerous animals that call the water their home (saltwater crocodiles and jellyfish), there are plenty of Northern Territory beaches you can enjoy. From wandering the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, browsing through stalls selling authentic Aboriginal artwork and handmade jewellery, to sunning it up on the sandy shores of local favourite Wagait Beach, there is plenty of water-based fun to be had all over the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It should come as no surprise that Western Australia is known for its remarkable beaches. From the dreamy and clear waters of Esperance to the red ochre cliffs and white sandy shores of Cable Beach in Broome, this state is hard to beat because you\u2019re so spoilt for choice. There\u2019s Cottesloe Beach (about 14km from Perth\u2019s city centre) with its picturesque scenery and perfect-for-snorkelling water. There\u2019s also Turquoise Bay in Exmouth where, you guessed it, the waters are a beautiful greeny-blue colour, and how could we forget about Mandalay Beach in Walpole with its fascinating shipwreck that can be seen at low tide. Basically, you can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/a>

The verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Northern Territory offers plenty of beaches you can spend hours on, the beaches in Western Australia are simply something else. With so much diversity, colour, and tropical-like feel, we have to crown Western Australia as the \u2018best beach\u2019 winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National parks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a whopping 24 national parks and a further 73 nature reserves, conservation areas, marine parks, and historical reserves, the Northern Territory is your one-stop-shop for all things breathtaking and extraordinary in the great outdoors. From one of Australia\u2019s most iconic and beloved attractions in Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park<\/a> to the sparkling water holes and deep gorges of Kakadu National Park<\/a>, Mother Nature has done some of her best work in the Northern Territory\u2019s national parks<\/a> and it\u2019s hard to see how any other state beats this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHECK OUT ULURU FOR YOURSELF ON OUR ULURU & KINGS CANYON ADVENTURE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might seem that the Northern Territory\u2019s a shoo-in for this category, but Western Australia isn\u2019t going down without a fight. In fact, some of the state\u2019s best and most jaw-dropping natural discoveries can be found in its national parks. Take Karijini National Park<\/a> for example. This outdoor playground is full of unspoiled and scenic natural formations at every turn, from its cascading waterfalls to its sparkling swimming holes. And let\u2019s not forget about the Bungle Bungles located in Purnululu National Park<\/a>. 20 million years in the making, these magical and majestic domes will take up all of your camera\u2019s film (rightly so).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Traveller<\/a>

The verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do we even begin to crown the winner for this category? While Western Australia has the mountainous ranges of Karijini National Park, as well as the beehive-shaped domes of Purnululu National Park, the Northern Territory has Uluru. And that\u2019s enough. Simply being in this magnificent monolith\u2019s presence is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won\u2019t get anywhere else. For this reason, the win goes to the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aboriginal culture & experiences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re travelling by yourself it can be hard to organize cultural activities and First Nations experiences but when embarking on a tour, and especially a tour with us, these things will already be taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Northern Territory is full of significant places that help the traditional custodians of the land connect with country and their culture. Grasp the opportunity to witness a traditional Welcome to Country smoking ceremony in Bawaka Homeland as part of our East Arnhem Land Adventure and adventure through Kakadu National Park on a Guluyambi River Cruise where you\u2019ll be joined by an Aboriginal guide who tell you stories of the landscape and the animals that live there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONNECT WITH COUNTRY ON OUR KAKADU, KATHERINE & LITCHFIELD ADVENTURE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"First<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Equally, our Western Australian tours also promise culturally rich encounters with First Nations peoples from setting out on a walking tour of Derby with a local Aboriginal artist and poet on our Premium Kimberly & Bungle Bungles tour to settling down for an unforgettable Didgeridoo Dreaming Night Tour in Monkey Mia on our West Coast & Ningaloo Reef adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPERIENCE ABORIGINAL CULTURE FOR YOURSELF ON OUR WEST COAST & NINGALOO REEF ADVENTURE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one\u2019s incredibly tough to call with both states offering insightful and captivating cultural experiences you\u2019ll never forget. With so many stories to listen to and so much history to learn about, regardless of which state you\u2019re in, you\u2019ll get your own chance to connect with country and our country\u2019s First Nations peoples so this one\u2019s a draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because you might not automatically associate the Northern Territory as the perfect destination for a city getaway, doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t one. While it\u2019s known for its natural playgrounds more than its concrete jungles, this state still knows how to offer a city adventure from the outback feel of Alice Springs to the diverse culture and epic arts scene of Darwin. Whether you want to explore the outback and enjoy a drink or two at a local watering hole afterward or take a dip in the Darwin City Lagoon before visiting the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, these cities turn up the heat in the best way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DISCOVER DARWIN ON OUR TOP END EXPLORER TOUR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While other Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne may get more worldwide attention, the Western Australian capital of Perth is just as good when it comes to the culture, arts, and foodie scenes. Apart from its gorgeous sandy beaches and rich history, Perth is home to local markets, thirst-quenching wineries, scenic parks, and flowering gardens all of which are waiting for you to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EXPLORE THESE CITIES ON OUR BROOME TO PERTH OVERLAND ADVENTURE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Aerial<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The verdict:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each state presents a compelling case to be the one with the \u2018best cities\u2019 but we have to go with Western Australia (only just though). We simply can\u2019t go past Perth with its magical scenery and rich, cultural vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However overall, when it comes to the question of Northern Territory vs Western Australia, the answer is a difficult one. There\u2019s no one clear winner with each state offering different landscapes and unique experiences. To the Northern Territory and to Western Australia, we take off our wide-brimmed, cork-strung hats to you both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
