6.Signature four course Sunset Dinner Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 9 reviews · 2h 30m · from $126

Board Cape Adieu at Dock 3, Stokes Hill Wharf for a 150-minute dinner cruise across Darwin Harbour. You’ll watch the sunset, enjoy a four-course meal with local seafood, and hear commentary from the captain and crew. Drinks cost extra, and seating can matter, so arrive ready to board by 5:00 PM.

“The cruise was quite nice but the commentary was barely audible and could be improved. The food reasonable but not quite as I expected. For those who pay the full amount seating should be taken into account. I had no complaints on that score but others did.”
