About this tour
Catch the day's last light from the foredeck of Indigo 2, a twelve-person sailing boat anchored in Port Douglas waters. This two-hour cruise tracks the sun as it dips behind Mossman Gorge's ridgeline, with a gourmet platter and your own drinks in hand. Small group size means genuine quiet—no jostling for rail space or competing conversations. Perfect for slowing down at that golden hour when the water turns copper and the air cools.
Highlights
- Twelve-person maximum keeps crowds minimal
- Two hours on water captures full sunset sequence

What to expect
You'll board Indigo 2 before the light starts shifting, giving yourself time to settle and claim a comfortable spot. As the boat moves through Port Douglas waters, the sky gradually shifts from blue through amber to deep orange. The gourmet platter arrives early, so you can graze while watching the light change. Conversation tends to drop naturally as the colours intensify. By the end, the gorge is silhouetted against a darkening sky, and most guests are quiet, just taking it in. The return journey happens in gathering dusk.
Good to know
Bring your own drinks (white wine, spirits, beer fine; no red wine). Dress warmly—water-side breezes cool quickly after sunset. Public transport reaches the departure point. No fitness demands; suitable for all ages and mobility levels.
