Sunset and Stargazing Adventure Cruise

About this activity
Our sunset cruise departs every Monday and Friday from the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina in Port Douglas.

Boarding commences at 6:30 pm for a 6:45 pm departure and the boat returns to the marina by 8:30 pm.

You cruise begins with a slow journey past the historic Sugar Wharf and an opportunity to watch the setting sun slowly start to sink behind the Great Diving Range and Mossman Gorge. As the light continues to fade, you will cruise up the mangrove-lined Dickson inlet, looking for crocodiles and waterbirds, whilst taking in the pastel pinks and oranges of an Aussie sunset. The waterway is incredibly peaceful.

Once the sun has set and the night-sky has come alive, your guide will treat you to an amazing stargazing show. We use licenced military grade, green lasers to point out celestial wonders. We might even be able to point you out a satellite - and tell you what it does using a special space app!

The beautiful star-studded sky is a time machine, the moon’s light takes 1.3 seconds to get to us, the sun, our nearest star, over 8 minutes. So we point out some very distant stars which may have died centuries ago.

To really soak up the experience, our skipper will turn the lights off and we ask for silence for just a few minutes. Your eyes will adjust to the night sky and your ears will become super-sensitive to the silence that surrounds you. Enjoy this very peaceful experience!
