Great crew, very informative, I learnt things I had never been taught in school about what happened to Darwin during WWII, a definite must do activity for anyone visiting Darwin.
This was a very professionally run tour and gave us a much better awareness of the bombing of Darwin thanks to an excellent guide. I would recommend you take add the virtual reality bombing tour to this booking as it included entry to the flying doctors museum and bought separately was more expensive. The virtual reality and flying doctors museum was also well worth visiting too
Interesting tour which could been great but not as advertised . One of the main reasons we took the tour was for the underwater camera to see the ship wreckage. The camera was not working and appeared it had not been working for some time the guide made some comment about it not working last few days . Not the guides fault but we feel this should have been made clear prior to our tour. This is really one of the main reasons for taking the tour as most other things can be viewed from shore . Secondly we shared a tour with a large school tour group who were given prime seats up the front of the boat and we were stuck up the back despite having been at the dock earlier than the group arrived . I do not feel they should have sold the additonal seats on this tour if we were going to be treated as less favoured guests . It effected the experience of my five year old as up the back the boat is higher and so the structure of the boat makes it harder to see and despite the guides saying we could sit on coaches towards front it had no sun coverage and they were low and facing wrong way . I just don’t agree that as paying guests we should have been treated this way. Normal protocol on a cruise is guests are let on in order they arrive . I think the guide could tell I was not impressed and tried to accomodate us but really I think the combo of the camera not working and then being stuck at back would mean I wouldn’t recommend this as value for money . For a family of 4 it’s an expensive hour $180 and for that price these things should be taken care of . Particularly the camera it was not as advertised and we should have been offered another tour or something
Jim was very knowledgeable and PASSIONATE about the topic - very interesting and illuminating. This says it all.. thanks for the experience
The informative conmmentation on the bombing areas. The hosts were very engaging and fun personalities loved the Anzac biscuit
