Well worth a visit. Very informative . Virtual reality of bombing of Darwin, going inside RFD plane all great experiences. .

Enjoyable tour. Plenty of information. Museum was great. Guides on the boat very knowledgeable. Bus tour showed us more than we could have found on our own.

Very well organized. The narrator spoke very clearly and we could hear everything he said. There were couple of naval ships in the bay so it created more atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this tour as we really enjoyed it. Good price as you get to see the RFDS also which is very interesting.

A great experience combining a harbour cruise with very interesting information about the bombing of Darwin. The tour operators were very knowledgeable, friendly and full of interesting anecdotes.

Super interesting. The guides were very knowledgeable. The RFDS display was interesting and the WW11 3D experience was informative and fun. Great way to start our discovery of Darwin history.

Interesting tour which could been great but not as advertised . One of the main reasons we took the tour was for the underwater camera to see the ship wreckage. The camera was not working and appeared it had not been working for some time the guide made some comment about it not working last few days . Not the guides fault but we feel this should have been made clear prior to our tour. This is really one of the main reasons for taking the tour as most other things can be viewed from shore . Secondly we shared a tour with a large school tour group who were given prime seats up the front of the boat and we were stuck up the back despite having been at the dock earlier than the group arrived . I do not feel they should have sold the additonal seats on this tour if we were going to be treated as less favoured guests . It effected the experience of my five year old as up the back the boat is higher and so the structure of the boat makes it harder to see and despite the guides saying we could sit on coaches towards front it had no sun coverage and they were low and facing wrong way . I just don’t agree that as paying guests we should have been treated this way. Normal protocol on a cruise is guests are let on in order they arrive . I think the guide could tell I was not impressed and tried to accomodate us but really I think the combo of the camera not working and then being stuck at back would mean I wouldn’t recommend this as value for money . For a family of 4 it’s an expensive hour $180 and for that price these things should be taken care of . Particularly the camera it was not as advertised and we should have been offered another tour or something

Well organized with excellent guides volunteering historical and local cultural information with suggestions for further activities. Included visits to war relics, vivid descriptions of the conditions and the geopolitical events. Harbour tour of war graves and big picture of the bombings. Interesting comments and your of architectural changes before and after the war and cyclone Tracey.

An excellent way of exploring the past and to understand what had happened during the bombing of Darwin. The tour guides knew their history and well able to share a host of informative examples of what happened, when. The boat was extremely comfortable and was very well suited to dashing around the harbour with a minimum of fuss. An extremely good tour and is highly recommended.

Nice tour of Darwin Harbour with a knowledgable commentary. Kerry and Ella looked after us well. The RFDS museum is an added bonus.

Loved the Harbour Cruise. Both guides were very good and informative. Enjoyed walking through the facility, watching the movies and having a look in the RFDS plane. I learnt a lot from doing this tour.

The boat used is very sturdy and fast, making the tour feel safe even in windy and choppy conditions. The two staff on the boat do their best to give a good oral account of the initial bombing but the exhibits they have to work with are poor in the sense they are either no longer on the shore or in the water or are so distant, it is difficult to see any detail of them (gun placements, buildings bombed etc). Overall, you will get a superior understanding of the bombing history if you skip the boat tour and just attend the WWII bombing experience on Stokes Hill Wharf (see separate review).

An effort has been made here to use technology to the maximum extent possible to both entertain and inform about the bombing of Darwin in WWII. While the floor area is not big, the amount of information conveyed is large. Children will not be bored at this museum, the virtual experiences guaranteeing that. The only criticism I could make is that the display concentrates on the initial bombing and fails to make the truthful point that Darwin was bombed over 60 times during the war, not just once or twice. The entry ticket is combined with a museum display of the history of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which is interesting but not as spectacular as the WWII efforts. You can also get a combined ticket with SEADARWIN's WWII boat tour of Darwin harbour, but I would not recommend this (see separate review).

Great tour. Very informative and interesting. Can highly recommend. Tour operators are knowledgeable and give great insights into the tour subject.

Great tour with an informative explanation of the bombing of Darwin. Tour bus driver Phillip was very informative safe and friendly. And the guys on the boat did a great job too. Well worth it if you’ve a half day in Darwin.

The tour was very informative and really brought home the terror and reality of the surprise attack that the people of Darwin had to endure for so long. Was certainly worth the experience and so glad we took the tour. The only small downside was knowing how to get to the virtual viewing part of the tour, as the staff in the RFDS facility were not aware that we had this included in our tour package. But did get sorted by the friendly staff.
