Itinerary highlights
Darwin Harbour
All aboard for a sunset adventure cruise on Darwin Harbour! Leaving Stokes Hill Wharf with a complementary refreshment in your hand, we’ll potter out from Kitchener Bay stopping to draw your attention to the magnificent expanse of Darwin Harbour and its fascinating landmarks.
We’ll leave other boats in our wake as we take you up close to the sights and sounds of the Darwin city seascape. On arrival at Cullen Bay you’ll be treated to stories of this part of town while the crew picks up your dinner of deliciously fresh, local, wild caught fish with chips and tender calamari rings from award-winning La Beach restaurant.
As you eat your dinner on board, we’ll use our local knowledge to take you to the best place to enjoy the warm breeze, exquisite tropical sunset and harbour full of intrigue.
You may experience a walk on the Fannie Bay sandbar or enjoy your meal amongst a pod of frolicking dolphins or dugong. Sometimes we may visit the Sadgroves bird sanctuary and other times we’ll just cruise around the glistening harbour, taking in nature’s extraordinarily-coloured sky at this time of day.
