DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Travelling from the pier by coach with your guide, you will enjoy a brief orientation tour of the city before arriving at popular Cullen Bay Marina where you will board your modern chartered tour vessel.

Once onboard your cruise vessel, sit back and relax while you spend the next two hours exploring Darwin Harbour and hearing commentary about its unique history. Learn about the ferocious bombing raid on Darwin conducted by the Japanese in 1942, which sank 12 ships in the Harbour. The Harbour itself has huge tidal movements (up to 26 feet) and the only 4 gate, salt-water lock in Australia. Once you have travelled through the lock and emerged into the Harbour, you will see Larrakeyah, the Naval Patrol boat base and Doctors Gully, home to a popular and unusual local attraction made by the hundreds of fish that come to shore at high tide to be fed by hand. As you pass Darwin's Esplanade, you will be able to see Nautica berthed at the wharf precinct.

During your informative cruise, you will enjoy a light morning tea with coffee, tea and biscuits, as you pass several interesting sights along the way. These include the new East Arm Port and the Darwin railway line. You may also see naval vessels from all over the world.

At the conclusion of your harbour cruise your boat will return to the Cullen Bay Marina. From here you will travel by coach back to your ship.
