Discover Darwin Harbour 1 hour Darwin Harbour Cruise
Step aboard the "Discover Darwin Harbour" cruise for an unforgettable journey through time, culture, and nature. From the moment you setoff, you'll be immersed in the rich heritage of the Larrakia people, the stunning natural landscapes, and the captivating history that has shaped this iconic harbour.
As we edge around the harbour, you'll see thriving mangrove ecosystems and at times, their habitants, and hear legendary stories—from wartime battles to the devastation and resilience following Cyclone Tracy. Learn about Darwin’s vibrant fishing and pearling industries, hear stories of hidden shipwrecks, and witness the modern-day importance of this bustling gateway to the world.
Proudly operated by Sea Darwin – Sea Tiwi, a Tiwi Enterprises initiative, this eco-accredited cruise combines storytelling, cultural respect, and tropical seascape scenery to deliver an experience that will stay with you after the tide turns.
