    Great tour. We got caught in a freak storm on the top deck and had to retreat to the lower deck. The staff were great and did their best to overcome the situation. Drinks and quality of meals were excellent. Would recommend to anyone. 4 Stars 👍👍👍👍

    Anniversary cruise.

    BarryCharles_A, Mar 2026
    Good value for the two hours with an excellent buffet to choose from. Complimentary champagne given to us because of it being our 25th anniversary. Very obliging staff were most helpful.

    It is something everyone should do when visiting Darwin. The food was amazing. Such a great variety.

    The cost was a bit high...

    Susan_H, Oct 2025
    The cost was a bit high for food that was okay and having to pay for drinks on top. The boat itself was beautiful as were the staff, on the whole a most enjoyable evening.

    Highly Recommend

    Helena_W, Sep 2025
    Great service, great food, great views. When booking, it would be good to have the option of sitting inside or outside. We were allocated an inside table but were relieved that an outside table was available.

    very disappointing buffet...

    Trip was okay but no background music which would have been nice. We were just a booking for 3 and found it very noisy

    Teach staff customer service

    Trish_P, Aug 2025
    Some staff were really great, others couldn't even crack a smile. Customer service really makes the experience memorable, sometimes for the wrong reason

    Nice Sunset

    shane_s, Aug 2025
    Food pretty bland and average, no flavour. It is self service for dinner and if your section is last you get what is left over.

    Look for options

    Duane_M, Aug 2025
    Staff were great. Cruise was nice. Dinner was horrible. Menu said things like Caesar salads was dairy free, which it was not. Has to buy dinner again after the cruise.

    Jenny_N, Jul 2025
    It was okay, i can say that it was a good experience but food didn’t meet my expectations for the price i paid.

    A little under whelming!

    Gillian_R, Jul 2025
    Food was ordinary drinks were not included and it was over crowded. Not much of a welcome or thank you and good night on departure. All a little under whelming tbh .

    A very worthwhile activity. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, met very friendly people onboard. It was smooth sailing, great sunset and delicious food.

    CATHERINE_H, Jun 2025
    A little pricey for what you get. We were underwhelmed with what was on offer in the buffet of a vanilla style. Lots of people cramped on board too.

    Okay but missed the Darwin experience.

    Maria_M, Jun 2025
    Seafood is NOT the big feature that is advertised and I would like to have had a commentary of where the boat was sailing to and a little bit of a history lesson.
