About this tour
Tear across Darwin Harbour on a jet ski to explore sunken vessels from the Pacific War.

- Close-up views of historically significant sites
What to expect
You'll be fitted with a life jacket and given a safety briefing before mounting your own jet ski. The ride is genuinely quick—expect wind, spray, and an elevated heart rate as you navigate the harbour to reach wreck sites. Your guide will slow near each location to point out details and context about the vessels and their wartime fates. The combination of speed and historical substance makes this feel less like a joy ride and more like an active history lesson. Bring your sense of balance.
