What you can expect

Step aboard the Bombing of Darwin Cruise for a powerful and immersive journey through one of Australia’s most defining moments in history.

Departing from Stokes Hill Wharf—ground zero of the first enemy attack on Australian soil—this experience brings to life the events of 19 February 1942. With real-time commentary from passionate local guides, you’ll travel across Darwin Harbour, witnessing key WWII sites, from the wreckage of the USS Peary to the remnants of the oil storage tanks that ignited a firestorm. Stories of bravery, loss, and resilience unfold as you explore the city’s wartime past from the sea, offering a unique perspective on history.

More than just a historical tour, this is a Journey with Purpose—a tribute to those who served, a lesson in the impacts of war, and a commitment to preserving our past. As a Tiwi-owned experience, this cruise also honours the role of Tiwi coastwatchers who gave early warnings on the day of the attack. Step aboard and be part of history, reflection, and remembrance.
