Description
Embark on a journey through history with the “Darwin Combo: The Bombing of Darwin Experience & Darwin Harbour Cruise” at an unbeatable price of just USD 51.84. This exclusive package offers a unique two-in-one adventure that takes you back to February 1942, a pivotal moment in the history of Darwin, Australia, when it faced aerial attacks by Japanese forces.
Your journey begins with the Bombing of Darwin cruise. As you glide along the Darwin waterfront, you’ll be immersed in a narrative that brings history to life. Gaze upon significant landmarks including the haunting wreck sites of the Short Sleeve Neptuna and USS Peery, reminders of the tumultuous events that unfolded in this very harbor.
Following the cruise, the Royal Flying Doctor Tourist Facility awaits. Here, you’ll delve deeper into the local tales of the air raids, gaining insights into the resilience and courage of those who lived through these historic times. This part of the tour not only educates but also pays homage to the indomitable spirit of Darwin’s citizens during World War II.
Booking these two attractions separately would be a missed opportunity. By securing the Darwin Combo, you ensure a cohesive, enriching experience, all while saving time and hassle. Your day of historical exploration is thoughtfully arranged, allowing you to seamlessly transition from the water to the museum.
Don’t miss this chance to witness the legacy of Darwin in a way that is both educational and deeply moving. Book your Darwin Combo experience directly with Sea Darwin and step into a chapter of Australian history that continues to resonate to this day.

Learning the history of Darwin Australia was phenomenal. It is the history we Australian’s should be taught in school!!!
We went to all the areas that were bombed by the Japanese and where a ship went down after being bombed.
The speaker was informative and interactive.
