WW2 boating experience - It was very educational. The sites were very informative and some of details were vivid. I recommend it to anyone who is considering it.

I was pleasantly surprised :) - This morning adventure was really easy… just sit on a boat & listen to the best commentary. David did a fabulous job as did Capt Trev. We were spellbound by the amount of information & the secrets surrounding Darwin’s bombing. It was both moving & informative. We Would recommend this “ Sea Darwin” tour.

Excellent Darwin Tour - The harbor cruise was very nice and informative. It was a great precursor to the Bombing of Darwin Experience. The combination of the two was excellent to learn about Darwin’s involvement in WWII.

Bombed out. - Great day for a little boat ride, the tour guide did his best to tell the history of the bombing from the boat, you had to visualise what he was saying as there was nothing to see except water and the shore line. The highlight was the Air Doctors museum, your tour ticket give you free access, this was great as it not only tells you the history of the Air Doctor but the bombing of Darwin in 3D both in a theatre and with 3D googles on. Would I recommend it, no but I’d recommend the museum highly.

Disapointed. - The Flying doctors part was great, interactive and value for money, as well as educational. The harbour cruise was disorganised, they had no idea about the rest of the booking (if you are going to use a third party partner, you need to be across bookings as the 'tourist' has no idea and is trusting you). I found the cruise narrator to be disrespectful of Military people, allowed his personal political bias to come out in his narration and a couple of things to be racially - questionable...
