Darwin Sunset Cruises:

Providing opportunities to unwind, relax and enjoy that famous sunset, Stokes Hill Wharf has a range of Darwin sunset cruises to choose from, with variety to suit every age, budget and inclination. And on Stokes Hill Wharf, Dock 2 is the heart of “doing local” with a range of Darwin sunset cruises on offer from local operators who know the harbour inside out. Sea Darwin offers two unique eco cruises, one an affordable unique dinner cruise with fish’n chips and champagne as the sunsets on Darwin Harbour, and the other a sunset eco cruise to see the nesting flatback turtles on Bare Sand Island. If neither of these cruises suit you, then there is an array of others to choose from:
