It was all enjoyable. Commentary from the guide was informative and interesting. Maybe a little more time and information about the botanical gardens would have been a bonus…. Especially about the local fauna and flora.

A precis of Darwin in style

Perfect way to get your bearings. Good commentary about the devistating cyclone Tracy. The air museum was the highlight. Thoroughly recommend it. Disappointed that there was no sunset cruise, but on the end the bus driver solved the issue by recommending dinner at the sailing club and watched the sunset from there

You were left alone for 4 hours with no one to help you. If not for the staff at Croc cove we would have been lost. The 8 hour guided tour is only 4 hours because the first 4 hours it's up to you to take the tour yourself. This was a waste of cash, don't do it.

When I arrived at Crocosaurus Cove I found there was no group and no guide. Plus it was raining. I visited the different exhibits and enjoyed the wild life presentation. About the time I was leaving a large group of school children arrived and the area is a bit small for such a large group in the rain The man in the gift shop gave me my voucher for lunch at The Tap but before that I had to go further up the street to find out the details for the afternoon tour. Lunch was pretty good but I had to stretch it to fill the time. The city tour was also in the rain. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable about Darwin and I got to see a lot out the bus window. The museum stop was very good as I enjoy going to museums--especially the aborigine display and the one on Cyclone Tracy. Unfortunately the sunset cruise was canceled due to the bad weather--no visibility and rough water. The tour ended on a high note when she took us back to the hotel instead of leaving us in the Transit Center where we got on. It would have been much better if it had not rained.
