SUNSET AND DINNER CRUISE ON DARWIN HARBOUR

Booking online was a breeze, and we arrived just before boarding time. Boarding was done without a fuss, and we were seated to a pre-determined plan before departure. The cruise left on time, and our nibbles were served immediately, and our main ordered at this time. BYO alcohol is allowed which is great, but the prices for drinks bought onboard were very reasonable. Our hostess, Kara was great, and fussed around the whole trip ensuring everyone was served and satisfied, while adding a bit of humour along the way. The boat is powered by a quiet engine that just bubbles away in the background making the trip very relaxing. The Captain’s audio comments about Darwin are informative and timely. The background music is soothing and at an ideal, low volume. The buffet style entree was available soon after leaving port, and included ample quantities of seafood and salad. Our main course was delivered about a third of the way into the trip and was very good, accompanied by buffet salads. Our trip exited the harbour and cruised around the point to view the sunset just north of Mindil beach, before continuing on for a while, then turning and returning to port. This is a great way to spend a couple of hours and see the magnificent sunset near Darwin, as well as enjoy a meal at the same time.

Full marks for this trip - boat was lovely, commentary was just right (not too much), views outstanding, food delicious, service by Carla and the rest of the crew perfect and very good taste in the recorded music played
