LATE AFTERNOON AT STOKES HILL WHARF

Your mission starts at Stokes Hill Wharf on the Darwin Waterfront, half an hour before the skis leave. On 19 February 1942 the wharf took the first bombs of the Japanese air raid on Darwin, and wharf workers died here that morning. Today it is all cafés and bars over the water. Your guide runs the safety briefing, fits your life jacket and sunscreen and matches you to a late-model ski. Bring a friend or partner on the back of your ski for an extra cost, or ride behind the guide if you'd rather not drive.

THE MAGIC MILE: MINDIL BEACH TO EAST POINT

From the wharf you swing around the city's headland to Mindil Beach, where the dry-season Sunset Market draws crowds on Thursday and Sunday evenings. The coast from here to East Point is known as the Magic Mile, running past Fannie Bay, whose old gaol held prisoners from 1883 until 1979. East Point itself is a reserve where agile wallabies graze on the lawns at dusk, and the concrete gun emplacements built to guard the harbour in the Second World War still stand on the cliffs.

GOLDEN HOUR ON THE WATER

Then the sun goes down. Darwin's beaches face west over the Beagle Gulf, named after HMS Beagle, whose crew sailed into the harbour in 1839 and named it Port Darwin after Charles Darwin, who had been aboard on the ship's earlier voyage. With the party beats playing and a cold drink handed round, the guide slows the group so you can turn and catch the city skyline glowing gold. Bring a camera on a strap: this is the shot most people come for.

BACK TO THE WHARF AT DUSK

With the last colour fading over the water, the group runs back around the headland to Stokes Hill Wharf. The bars and restaurants on the wharf and the Waterfront are only a few steps away, so dinner is easy.

Bookings can still be made right up until the departure date of the tour if seats are available.

How we collect and publish reviews

Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.

Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.

Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.

My partner and I did the guided sunset ride with Jack and loved every minute. It was a great balance of help when we needed it and freedom to ride.
