I loved seeing the ammunition stores in the National Park and the immersive experience at the Military Museum. I didn't know much of this history and I am really glad I did the tour. The sea was a bit choppy on the day I went so the tour very kindly changed the embarkation location which made things easier and safer for us. I very much appreciated that consideration. Out on the water, seeing Darwin from a different perspective and hearing more history…”
