We really enjoyed this tour, the skipper was a Darwin local who really knew the harbour and its history. He took time to answer our questions, and even took us out of his way to show us a boat that was coming in. We loved the fast ride between sites, (there was a little bit of seaspray every now and...

We spent a fantastic hour on Darwin Harbour with Jim and Sam. Jim gave a great presentation and orientation to the harbour. We travelled up a creek to view mangroves, a crocodile trap and a shipwreck. Highly recommended. More

Did the one hour history tour along the waterfront. Really good value, informative experience and presented by a guide with a lot of local knowledge and a passion for history. Would highly recommend for those who are interested in the war history, and even those who just want to get out on the water. $35 well spent. More

Thankyou to you Fiona and your partner for the two recent reviews. When I read the update from Trip Advisor on my phone, we had just completed another Sunset Dreaming last night, being the only tour operator out on the harbour! - fantastic sunset by the way. Earlier in the day we also had run the 'Australia's Frontline' tour which... More

Jim and Roque are lovely guys. We left from Stokes Hill Wharf headed to Cullen Bay - on the way we found the local Government Croc catchers stranded midway when their motor/gear box failed. The guys had to tie them on and tow then in to their own wharf before heading off to Cullen Bay to pick up some more... More

was not sure what to expect when i boarded tha Snub Fin but skipper Jim made us feel at home with his territory wit and knowledge of the harbour, however he was outclassed by deckhand " Roque" a local indigenous Larrakia man who was at home in the mangrove creeks and he spotted dolphins rounding up mullet while a sea...

My family and I had so much fun on this tour. We had people of all ages from 50 down to age 10 and we all enjoyed ourselves. Jim and Roque made sure that we enjoyed ourselves and the cultural information that Roque provided was the highlight of the tour along with being able to partake in cultural activities. I... More

We went on this tour by chance. We wanted to do see the turtles, but our trip to Darwin didnt coincide with the tour dates. We were offered the sunset cultural tour instead, and I must say I was a bit unsure of what we were in for. We had heard so many negative things about the indigenous people in... More

Hi Fiona, Thank you for your review. We agree that Roque is a real character. It was the SA/NT freight link train that he painted back in 2003. He also has community art works in Rain Tree Park and West Lane in Darwin as well as Palmerston. He has work on exhibition in the National museum, and he is the... More

I came across the Turtle Tour by chance walking at the waterfront area in Darwin. It turned out to be the highlight of my time in Darwin. The trip on the boat itself is a real experience, but to go to such a remote island and see the turtles was amazing. The crew were really professional, especially with their knowledge... More

Loved everything about Darwin and I would highly recommend Sea Darwin as the skipper Jim is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The boat is comfortable and its a great way to see Darwin harbour. Looking forward to our next visit and we will make sure we book in early to make sure we don't miss out on the Turtle tour... More

Thankyou for your review. Because Darwin Harbour is huge, has so many hidden secrets and wonderful animals living in it, you never know what you might see. Each tour is different because of the tidal range of up to 8 meters, every thing tropical, and our wonderful weather of course. Did you know that Darwin Harbour is seven times the... More
