Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fantastic way to end the day in Darwin.
From the moment we touched base with the staff we were treated as guests & taken care of.
The fish n chips were great & super fresh. The highlight for me was to see some of Darwin Harbour & learn just a little about this fascinating place. Staff were simply 10/10. We could not be happier. Initially I thought the cruise a bit expensive but by the time we disembarked, I felt we certainly got our moneys worth.
I highly recommend taking this cruise or any other this becomes provides. Knowledgeable, friendly, informative & fun.

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

Hi, yes there are gluten free options provided. It depends which Fish'n Chip shop we visit. Mal at La Beach provides fresh prawns and chips as a gluten free option.
