What To Expect
As the sun sinks low over Darwin, Sea Darwin Sea Tiwi slips quietly onto the harbour, carrying a Territory ritual done right: fresh, wild-caught NT fish and chips, paired with an ice-cold drink as the day softens into evening. Boarding from 5.30pm, the cruise drifts past the living edges of Darwin Harbour. Mangroves glow in the late light, working wharves hum in the background, and open water stretches toward the horizon. Settle in, enjoy your meal and complimentary drink, and let the boat find the perfect angle as the sky deepens into layers of gold, pink and indigo. Unhurried and easy, it’s a beautiful way to close out the day. Perfect for families, couples and curious travellers, this award-winning sunset cruise blends simple local food, warm tropical evenings and the unmistakable character of the Top End.

5.00The Sunset Cruise with Penny and John (and young guy I can't remember his name) was an outstanding experience. They were well organised, polite, informative, friendly, safety conscious and helpful. I had spoken to Penny on the phone earlier in the day and told her of our excitement at celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday with the holiday in Darwin and specifically on the Sunset Cruise. The fish and chips were tasty, the cruise was amazing, learning heaps about the harbour and Darwin's history. The Sunset was sensational. We were able to take superb photos. Unbeknownst to us, as we docked, Penny asked everyone to sing Happy Birthday to my daughter, which they did while she presented a chocolate cake with candles for my daughter to blow out and cupcakes for all the other passengers. I will always be grateful and remember Penny's kindness and thoughtfulness. It was a wonderful surprise for my daughter and I providing us with a distinctive shared memory we will always keep.

4.00Lovely evening, fish and chips were hot, chips crunchy and a decent serve. Would have liked a bit more commentary.
A great finale to our ‘Top End’ trip!

4.00A sunset dinner cruise without having to get poshed up & spend a fortune. This casual & relaxed low-key fish n chips was perfect! The only slight negative was not enough drink choices. Perhaps add Bundaberg Ginger beer & Lemon lime & bitters (non-alcoholic staples) The crew were fun & friendly with great local knowledge. Boat had a canopy overhead & zip-down see through ‘windows’ if needed to cater for inclement weather conditions. We had the perfect weather; balmy & refreshing in the Darwin humidity! Gorgeous sunset too & magic views of the city skyline all lit up when we were motoring back to the dock!!
Nice way to view Darwin

Sea Darwin cruises - A real Must

5.00We were welcomed by the most friendly happy people that you could imagine - that was just for starters✅ The craft was full yet everyone could see all and above all hear what the captain had to say plus the most rewarding explanation of the mangroves by the on board marine biologist - excellent. Then came the piping hot barramundi (2 pieces) together with hot crispy chips to be ushered down with a choice of refreshments. A trip around the bay and over to the main wharf - followed by a trip east to watch the red hot sun sink into the ocean - how good was that✅. The after glow was amazing - then have the craft do a 180 degree turn and witness the golden full moon escape beyond the city skyline - that was awesome - not sure how they arranged that piece of magic👍 In conclusion - we can report that this trip, intimate in its delivery, was a fantastic interlude to our journey in the Top End. Thank you Sea Darwin👍🍷
Wonderful trip excellent...
