What To Expect

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.

Food was ordinary drinks were not included and it was over crowded. Not much of a welcome or thank you and good night on departure. All a little under whelming tbh .

A little pricey for what you get. We were underwhelmed with what was on offer in the buffet of a vanilla style. Lots of people cramped on board too.
Okay but missed the Darwin experience.

Seafood is NOT the big feature that is advertised and I would like to have had a commentary of where the boat was sailing to and a little bit of a history lesson.
