Anyone that does NOT do this cruise is missing out on a totally unforgettable and beautiful and generous experience. From the moment we made enquiries till the moment the end of the sunset dinner cruise came, we received service unsurpassed and not often experienced these days. The food (+ huge prawns) was better than most 1st class seafood restaurants, there... More

We just booked the cruise not the food. Loved the cruise around the Darwin harbor, saw the sunset, saw Darwin nightlife from the bay. The speed of the boat was easy going, giving enough time to really enjoy the scenery. The customer service of the crew was poor. If I owned that boat I would make sure my crew were... More

This was a really good value cruise and meal with a very friendly crew (although our American waitress spoke very slowly because we were from the South) More

I found the dining on Darwin harbour on the sunset cruise so relaxing and an enjoyable experience. The hostessing was so gracious. The speed of the boat was gentle, meandering along giving time to really absorb the beautiful sunset colours and soak in the whole scenery. So beautiful. Add the food experience on top. Now I am a conisuer of... More

There are a lot of sunset cruises in Darwin to choose from and this one was recommended by Tourism Information centre. The food was reasonable, but were we a little disappointed thinking we were going on a pearl lugger. This boat is an old fishing boat, seemingly modified to fit more customers on. It was a pleasant evening out, but... More

This was the 4th catered Darwin Harbour cruise I have done, and without a doubt the best. Taking a cruise in Darwin in October can be hit and miss due to the pre monsoon 'build up' weather, but we were in luck and had perfect sailing weather. The vessel has it's own bar, but BYO drinks are permitted onboard as... More

I booked way in advance for this cruise to say thanks to the couple that put up with me for the 10 days I spent in Darwin. Extremely knowledgable waitress and very attentive, nothing was rushed, tables were asked to come up one by one which made a very smooth operation. We started with a lovely appetiser of smoked mackerel... More

I checked on Trip Advisor and found that the Cape Adieu Sunset cruise was highly recommended. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the cruise and the dinner was god value with very fresh seafood. You can help yourself to oysters and great prawns and salad from the buffet. The mains - a choice of scotch fillet and seafood, were also... More

After researching a cruise on Darwin Harbour we decided on Cape Adieu and we are so glad we did. Everything from start to finish was excellent, the food absolutely beautiful and so much of it! The service from the friendly staff was wonderful, very attentive but not in your face. The BYO option for drinks gave us the chance to... More

We totally agree with the reviews below. We too had read all the great reviews on trip advisor before our trip and found all the great reviews were spot on. Wonderful table for two on the upper deck, food and staff were great, a fantastic Darwin sunset with the bonus of watching the full moon rise over Darwin. Wwill definitely... More
