Thank you for the wonderful advice Wicked Event Management…
Sunset cruises may typically be associated with romantic dates for two, but don’t let that stop you from getting the lads together for a water adventure of your own. Afterall, you are celebrating the love story of your soon-to-be groom!
Everyone loves a good sunset, and here in Australia we’re lucky enough to see some truly great ones. Our friends over at Wicked Bucks have travelled to every corner of the country in their years of planning buck’s celebrations, which has given them a great insight into where we can catch the best skies.
While we can embrace these views from the land, the team assures us that nothing quote compares to a sunset cruise! There is just something extra magic about cruising along our idyllic oceans and enjoying the scenes with the gang.
To get you inspired and excited for your bucks party planning, the team has shared their top picks for bucks sunset cruises in Australia.
Top 5 Destinations for Bucks Sunset Cruises in Australia
1. Sydney Harbour Bucks Cruise
Ah, the stunning Sydney Harbour comes to life when the afternoon sun starts to set over Sydney! There’s nothing else quite like it! Soak up a rare moment of peace and tranquillity of Australia’s city that never slows down. Your sunset cruise across the city will take you past the iconic Sydney attractions, while also providing a personalised experience with one of the city’s most experienced and exceptional crews.
Travel through Darling Harbour in twilight, past historical Barangaroo and under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, before stopping by Fort Denison to enjoy the spectacular sight of the sun setting behind Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House.
Your sunset cruise in Sydney will then drop you back to Circular Quay, where you’re in a prime position to access all the nightlife on offer around the city. We’re talking world-class restaurants, grungy bars and bustling clubs. As one of the most popular destinations in the country, there is always a crowd of party goers out looking for a good time.

2. Great Barrier Reef Sunset Cruise
When the sun goes down over the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest of Airlie Beach comes alive with action, you won’t want to miss a section of the action. Hop onboard a sunset cruise through the Islands off Whitehaven Beach and indulge in the beauty of the fading light and brilliant colourful skyline in tropical Queensland.
These bucks cruises typically leave from Cairns, Port Douglas, Magnetic Island, the Whitsundays, and from Hervey Bay, so there are no shortage of opportunities to ensure you relax, unwind with some of the most stunning views of the Great Barrier Reef with beer or wine in hand! Most boats heading out to the region have plenty of room on-board for large groups, which means they can cater to groups of all different sizes.
If we have any words of advice, it’s that you will want to bring a camera with you! Whether it’s your iPhone or a full-blown digital set-up, you’ll absolutely need something to capture these incredible scenes. The photos will take you back down memory lane for years to come and remind you of your incredible trip away.
Not to mention some of our pre-made bucks party cruise packages available. The team has worked hard to ensure our bucks cruises in the Great Barrier Reef capture every moment in a way that you will remember for years to come. We can organise some extra games and entertainment to spice up your evening cruise before heading out to the town.

3. Darwin Sunset Cruise
The Northern Territory’s capital isn’t just crocodiles and red dirt, Darwin offers visitors the chance to mix the outback with the city and the Northern Coastline of Australia – while also taking in some photogenic sunsets you won’t see anywhere else in the world. The area offers a unique setting positioned at the top of Australia with some truly amazing experiences to blow your mind.
One of the reasons that Darwin’s sunsets are so spectacular is that the city’s harbour is perfectly sized to offer plenty of different views. Some of our favourite sites around the region include Dripstone Cliffs or East Point Reserve.
While nothing compares to taking in the sunset from the water with beverage in hand, Darwin offers plenty of night time activities to follow along the water’s edge to keep the entire gang entertained after your bucks cruise wraps up.
The city’s popular Mindil Beach Markets are held at a time of day that coincides perfectly with the changing skies. Hop off your boat and spend your time meandering through the markets to do some shopping, grab a bite to eat or treat yourselves to some bevvies before hitting the town!
Add in the surrounding natural attractions, rich history and seemingly endless string of activities, and you’ll realise the top-end is the ultimate destination for your bucks party.

4. Great Ocean Road Boat Cruise
The Great Ocean Road is known as one of the most scenic drives in Australia, if not the world. As if the towering rocks of The Twelve Apostles and the glistening blue vistas weren’t amazing enough already, the red, orange and pink hues of the sun dancing across the landscape makes this stretch of coastline even more incredible at sunset.
When admired from the water, the combination of the rugged coastline and iconic attractions is one of the most postcard-perfect scenes you’ll ever encounter. There is just something about the untamed beauty that makes The Great Ocean Road an unmissable sunset cruise experience for every bucks party.
The beauty of an Adelaide sunset cruise through this region is that you’ll hop off the boat just when all the nightlife is starting to kick off. Take your pick from incredible heritage pubs, iconic surf clubs, bustling bars or mouth-watering restaurants. These are the types of destinations that you’ll still be dreaming about in years to come!

5. Busselton Sunset Cruise
If you really want to up your sunset game, you’ll want to venture over to the Wild West. Perth is internationally recognised for its picture-perfect sunsets, so you seriously won’t be disappointed.
According to the weather experts, Busselton is the best place in the Perth region for a front row seat to the show! What makes Busselton’s sunsets so special is that the main bay faces north, and the sun does not set directly out into the ocean – it sets in the west over the Cape Naturaliste area.
It’s a pretty special view from the land, but the extensive outlook for miles and miles across the region is simply spectacular from the water. Take the opportunity to embrace the wonderful seaside architecture, the beautiful coastline and – of course – the spectacular skies that make Perth well worthy of a sunset cruise!
