Detailed itinerary

As the sun sinks low over Darwin, Sea Darwin Sea Tiwi slips quietly onto the harbour, carrying a Territory ritual done right: fresh, wild-caught NT fish and chips, paired with an ice-cold drink as the day softens into evening.

Boarding from 5.30pm, the cruise drifts past the living edges of Darwin Harbour. Mangroves glow in the late light, working wharves hum in the background, and open water stretches toward the horizon. Settle in, enjoy your meal and complimentary drink, and let the boat find the perfect angle as the sky deepens into layers of gold, pink and indigo.

Unhurried and easy, it’s a beautiful way to close out the day. Perfect for families, couples and curious travellers, this award-winning sunset cruise blends simple local food, warm tropical evenings and the unmistakable character of the Top End.
