How to get ADHD meds witjout scripts in Darwin NT Australia
All crew members were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us!!
They weren’t kidding about endless bubbles to drink.
We even put the sails up, peaceful cruising. Would recommend it.
Waited until our last night to use the cruise as a celebration of our holiday. Cannot find one fault with this 3 hour cruise, we are 3 couples which pretty much made up 20% of the full compliment of passengers on board.
From the very moment we sat ourselves down on the comfortable bean chairs, we were served constant top ups of champers and the yummy and varied food just kept coming.
The captain & crew were fabulous and accommodated every request.
We took our own alcohol as well but if you're into "bubbles" your won't need to take a thing except a "party" mood.
Thoroughly recommend this .
and no, I'm not being paid by the tour operator.
The food was absolutely delicious- huge compliments to the chef. Everything was beautifully prepared and the bao buns were definitely my favourite!
A special shout-out to Jamie whose friendly, fun attitude and excellent service really made the evening. He was attentive, engaging and added so much to the atmosphere.
A fantastic way to experience a Darwin sunset. Highly recommend!
Meanwhile, everyone else was comfortably seated on the beanbags and front seating areas with the beautiful, unobstructed views that this cruise is advertised for. We were effectively stuck at the back, isolated from everyone else, with the worst view on the boat (photo 3).
Just because your catamaran can legally carry 36 people does not mean you should sell 36 tickets (as your staff advised). It was completely overcrowded, and the experience felt like maximising profit instead of ensuring every guest actually enjoyed what they paid for.
When we questioned the seating, one of the crew told us not to worry because “people move around during the cruise to go to the toilet, so more seats become available.” I then asked whether it would be acceptable for me to take someone’s seat while they were in the bathroom because, personally, I wouldn’t appreciate someone taking mine. The response was incredibly blasé. That is not an acceptable solution, nor is it something staff should be telling paying customers. Guests shouldn’t have to hover, wait for someone to use the toilet, or play musical chairs just to experience the views they paid for.
For $180 per ticket, this is simply unacceptable. A premium experience should feel premium. Instead of squeezing every possible dollar out of each cruise, perhaps consider limiting numbers to around 25-28 guests so everyone has a comfortable seat and can actually enjoy the experience.
To their credit, they have offered a refund, which I have accepted. However, given how focused this business appears to be on selling every available ticket regardless of the customer experience, I sincerely hope that refund actually eventuates.
The most disappointing part is that this wasn’t just any evening—it was my partner’s birthday. We organised our work schedules, gave up income by taking time off, made the effort to arrive early as instructed, and were left feeling like an afterthought. That is time and money we’ll never get back, and it’s incredibly disappointing that what should have been a special celebration was completely overshadowed by poor management and greed.
This experience could have been avoided simply by selling fewer tickets. Instead, the company chose to prioritise maximum capacity over customer satisfaction.
Absolutely unacceptable. I would never recommend this cruise to anyone, especially locals looking to celebrate a special occasion as my partners birthday was ruined.
The Highlight of our trip
Note: Wouldnt take elderly or those who dont do moderation unless you want to risk man over board.
Well worth the money. Highly recommend.
Sitting on bean-bag chairs on a catamaran is both comfortable and brings you closer to the natural experience as you take in the sunset with the wind in your hair.
I've done a Darwin sunset cruise with another company before and this completely blew it away - hands down it's the best way to enjoy a Darwin sunset.
I’m pissed of the boat left without us , no phone call to see where we were !!!
It appears I was at the wrong dock !!
The directions were terrible, no one to number to call on the ticket or information supplied 😡😡
Even went to the office on the dock !!!
I want a refund. !!! John Lemmon 😡
From the moment we stepped aboard the 50 ft catamaran, the experience was exceptional. Skipper Alex was incredible—professional, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. The crew were just as impressive, serving up amazing food and drinks that made the whole evening feel relaxed and indulgent.
Watching the sunset out on the water was simply stunning and created a truly memorable atmosphere.
If you’re looking for a special experience, this sunset cruise ticks every box. Highly recommend!
There was lots of bubbly! But, you had to ask for water
It felt like we were putting the tour operator to an inconvenience!
The moment I stepped on board, I was handed a glass of chilled bubbles and the team made it their mission to ensure it was never empty!
The seating was comfortable. The only difficulty was trying to get up! Luckily the crew constantly came around with delicious food so I didn’t need to. 100% recommend!
The crew were outstanding with service, special thanks to Hollie & Kadeck for their attentive service, manners and work ethic.
Hats off to the chefs, working so hard to create such a delicious array of dishes, they out did themselves. Every meal that come out just kept getting better. The flavours were dancing in my mouth, the tenderness of the dishes you can taste how much love was put into each of them.
Many thanks to the captain for the planning and creating such a wonderful experience for all to enjoy on board.
I will be back to experience this one again!!
The conditions were perfect to raise the sails on the catamaran.
The food was one awesome dish after another. Nature also did its part with a textbook Darwin sunset.
All those around us did not want the trip to end
I can’t recommend this sunset tour highly enough.
Fantastic food and atmosphere, complimentary drinks. Can't recommend this more highly. A wonderful way to spend our wedding anniversary. Thank you
We arrived at Dock 1 with time to spare and boarded Sundancer about 10 minutes before the cruise left.
After a safety briefing and an introduction to the boat from the Captain we set off.
The sparkling wine flowed freely through out the cruise and there was plenty of cold water and soft drinks on offer.
Roberta and Alida looked after everyone so well, keeping us well feed and ensuring our glasses were never empty. We were served a fabulous array of food including home made beetroot dip and warm pita bread, homemade guacamole with corn chips, prawn dumplings, arancini balls, barramundi bites, chicken satay skewers to name but a few. The food was tasty, well presented and there was plenty of it.
The music was a great range of 80', 90's and more recent tunes.
We cruised along the coast towards Fannie Bay and moored for a period of time to watch the stunning sunset, before cruising back to the dock.
This 3hr relaxing cruise was worth every cent and we will definitely do it again next time we visit Darwin...thank you :)
