Diana and Eduard, from NSW

"The sunset fish 'n chips cruise was a beautiful way to end our day in Darwin. It was well organised and informative, with nature throwing in a pod of frolicking dolphins, sea eagles and a gorgeous sunset. The boat was clean and comfortable and the fresh fish and chips, delish! It was a highlight of our NT visit. We would definitely do it again."

Beautiful Darwin sunset on the harbour

Beautiful Darwin sunset on the harbour

As you eat your dinner on board, we’ll use our local knowledge to take you to the best place to enjoy the delightfully warm breeze, exquisite tropical sunset and harbour full of intrigue. The tide, wind, weather and season will be considered as the Captain turns the boat in a particular direction.

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 - it's like an artwork!
