"The twilight 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 crew very friendly. We would definitely do it again."
Diana and Eduard, from NSW
About the tour Darwin Twilight Cruise + $50 Dinner Voucher
Do you love extraordinary!
Just add water + a taste of South East Asia for your tropical light, troppo bite experience. Start your Tropical Light appetizer with mother nature’s best free light show and the bite of a complimentary Saltie Gin. This is Tropical light, Troppo bite unplugged, a short sunset and twilight cruise on Darwin Harbour during the tropical summer season when the sky is stretched with colour catching storm clouds, multi-hued sunsets and a peppering of electrical light shows. This is the cruise where you will experience the raw edginess of Darwin Harbour combined with a spirit story that introduces crocodiles and Top End flavours, all with the backdrop of a stunning skyscape.
Tropical Light Unplugged!
This is a time of year when there is an abundance of natural beauty on the harbour, with that famous Top End sunset, and magnificent storms clouds rolling by, legendary for the speed they move and the spectacular light shows they bring. On this cruise nature will awaken your senses, and you will know that you are alive!
"What a fantastic night!! I was pretty close to bailing because it was very choppy (in my eyes) and Jim was happy to transfer to the next night but then called me back to say he’d alter the plans slightly to ‘guarantee’ calmer waters quickly and he delivered. Can’t recommend Jim & his team enough - awesome 👍👍👍"
Michelle from Adelaide
When Twilight Talks to You!
This 55-minute cruise is for those with a love of the extraordinary. Board your vessel 15 minutes before sunset. Settle into your seat and make yourself comfortable as your crew delivers to you a Saltie Gin (or wine or beer) served in a complimentary Go Vino Spirit glass. Next comes a cruise out on the harbour to see the tropical sun as it dips below the horizon. As twilight awakens, expect the colours to stretch the sky and intensify, a quintessential Darwin experience enjoyed through a unique perspective. We will journey to the back of the harbour to a thriving landscape of trees in the sea, where birds find sanctuary at the end of the day, and where natures embrace has a backdrop of Darwin city reflecting twilight’s mood.
"Well and truly spoilt rotten with another incredible sunset. It was our last night in Darwin and one of our last nights in Australia, and what a way to spend it! Thank you seadarwin for the awesome views!"
