Overview

Step aboard the "Discover Darwin Harbour" cruise for an unforgettable journey through time, culture, and nature. From the moment you setoff, you'll be immersed in the rich heritage of the Larrakia people, the stunning natural landscapes, and the captivating history that has shaped this iconic harbour.

As we edge around the harbour, you'll see thriving mangrove ecosystems and at times, their habitants, and hear legendary stories—from wartime battles to the devastation and resilience following Cyclone Tracy. Learn about Darwin’s vibrant fishing and pearling industries, hear stories of hidden shipwrecks, and witness the modern-day importance of this bustling gateway to the world.

Proudly operated by Sea Darwin – Sea Tiwi, a Tiwi Enterprises initiative, this eco-accredited cruise combines storytelling, cultural respect, and tropical seascape scenery to deliver an experience that will stay with you after the tide turns.

What To Expect

Sea Darwin

Sea Darwin’s local crew will take you “up the creek”, where you’ll get up close and personal with the mangrove habitat and learn about the pristine tropical ecosystems of the harbour. After an introduction to the geography and landmarks of Darwin Harbour, we will take you up the creek past an eclectic collection of boats that ooze story and character before arriving at a crocodile trap, where you'll be offered a taste of Sea Darwin's "Saltie" gin. Cruising past Fisherman’s Wharf you'll hear about Darwin’s pearling history and modern-day fishing commerce, before venturing out into the harbour proper where you will pause at locations to hear about the Bombing of Darwin before seeing first-hand the Darwin City Seascape and the hive of activity of our modern Harbour, including our Defence base. This cruise goes where other boats don't go, and offers an interactive over-view of Darwin Harbour.
