2 hour sunset cruise on Darwin Harbour
Darwin Harbour Cruises
Your cruise will depart from DOCK 3, located at the very end of Stokes Hill Wharf, city side. Crew members will meet you under the large blue umbrellas and will commence boarding 30-minutes prior to the cruise departure time. Generally you will leave Stokes Hill Wharf, travel along the Esplanade cruising along at 4 knots past the Larrakeyah Naval barracks, Cullen Bay and Fannie Bay. Your experienced skipper reserve the right to change the route subject to tidal conditions, guest’s safety and comfort. Tidal conditions determine how close to the coast the 'Charles Darwin' can operate. Hear knowledgeable commentary from the crew on Darwin History, Cyclone Tracey and the bombing of Darwin. In the past there have been sightings of crocodiles, dolphins, turtles and dugongs, however there is no guarantee you will see wildlife on your cruise. You will experience a Sunset on Darwin Harbour followed by Darwin’s skyline lit up at night.

Trip was okay but no background music which would have been nice. We were just a booking for 3 and found it very noisy

Some staff were really great, others couldn't even crack a smile. Customer service really makes the experience memorable, sometimes for the wrong reason

Food pretty bland and average, no flavour. It is self service for dinner and if your section is last you get what is left over.

Staff were great. Cruise was nice. Dinner was horrible. Menu said things like Caesar salads was dairy free, which it was not. Has to buy dinner again after the cruise.

Didn't get to eat late and didn't get to finish my first plate and returned to find out they packed up the food.
