A really pleasant and laidback host gave us the feeling this was a personal tour. We originally wanted the two hour eco-tour, unfortunately this wasnt running when we booked, however the one hour harbour tour was nevertheless interesting and informative.

As a long time turtle fanatic I am on a mission to see all 7 species of Marine Turtle in the wild and Jim and his team have helped me one step closer to achieving my ambition. One of the best bits of this trip is that the flatback turtle keep very social hours often coming up in early evening... More

If you are in Darwin during the dry season, this is a great trip that the whole family or solo travellers can enjoy. An exciting boat trip to a remote island and watching the turtles lay their eggs is a very moving experience. Highly recommended. A great picnic dinner is included in the fare price.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our sunset experience with Rocky and Jim, and it is something that we will remember fondly about our trip to Darwin. It was great to meet true locals, and Rocky's gentleness and passion while explaining his culture was worth every cent of this tour. We had a lovely sunset (although I think they all are in... More

The Frontline tour is a must do for anyone visiting Darwin that has an interest in the war history. The sea guide was very knowledgable, friendly and took his time to answer our questions (of which there were many). This tour was only $35 and worth every cent, would highly recommend to others.

My friend & I took the 1 hour harbour tour over the Easter weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Was great to get out into the harbour & look back to the city, and also explore the nearby mangroves. Jim is very personable & knowledgeable (and in fact we went over the hour as he kept showing us more!). There... More

What a fantastic tour - a "must-do" when visiting Darwin. Highly recommended. Altho' I've done many trips to Darwin, the Sea Darwin water eco tour was a first, in September 2011. The tour operator Jim provided a great presentation and overview of the Darwin Harbour incl viewing of mangroves, crocodile trap and shipwreck...and the exhilaration of skimming across the water...
