Last weekend went on a really interesting tour with Jim and his experts. Left Darwin Harbour around 4:00 p.m. and headed out to Bare Sand Island to see the turtles nesting. On arrival we watched two turltels, Henderson and Oliver be released with tracking devices on them. We watched them disappear out to sea and their new life. As the... More

What an adventure, I felt like Robinson Cursio but educated as Sir David Attenborough in Turtle sience and history. Seeing Trutles making there way up the beach in the full moon, Laying and heading back down to the sea.The Bare Sand Island itself is full of amzaing sea shells and noughing beats the sand between your toes watching the spectakula...

The Sunset Dreaming Tour was amazing with spectacular skies with tropical storms, and yet no rain, and unique views of Darwin City. The local Larrakia knowledge and activities made the cruise more than just a cruise, it was great to join in some tucker and spear throwing on the beach and my kids had a great time. Thanks Sea Darwin... More

We took this tour midway through our week in Darwin before heading to Nitmiluk. Met the tour at Stokes Street Wharf after parking past the bridge and boarded the 'Snubfin' with 4 other passengers. Tour takes you to a beach offshore where our guide put us through our paces in making a bracelet from a hemp-like plant, and spear-throwing at... More

We took the nighttime turtle tour to Bare Sand Island, and loved every minute of it. The cruise over to the island was a pleasure in and of itself, but seeing the turtles in the light of the full moon digging nests, laying eggs and covering the nest, before heading back to sea was one of those things you never...

We took a night tour to Bare Sand Island on Jim's boat and had an amazing time - the turtles came in at high tide and the night sky of stars and full moon made it magical. The food was excellent and the beers were cold!

We managed to get in at the every last Turtle Tour of the season, and it was touch and go if the turtles would turn up but they did! The whole experience, cruising out of darwin harbour, around the cox peninsula, past deserted tropical islands, the scenery, the food , the turtles , beautiful. I also gotta say kudos to... More

I went on this tour after a disappointing half day city sights tour, all I can say is the trip and activity is fantastic. Roque the tour leader is knowledgeable and a delight, the spear throwing is great fun, and the views of the sunset on the way back are fantastic. I have a prosthetic leg and the skipper and... More

My husband and I took the Sea Darwin Eco Tour in the middle of the day for 3 hours recently. Normally this tour is 2 hours in length, the extra hour was because we had to pick up people from a boat ramp quite a way away from our starting point. So the first hour was a fast trip, hanging... More

Being a birdwatcher and keen to see the rare Chestnut Rail my husband and I eventually found someone prepared to take us out on a boat around the mangroves of Darwin Harbour. Jim Smith of Sea Darwin was excellent. He offered us a great deal for an early morning cruise and when our party of 4 arrived at the boat... More
