About this tour

Your private boat carries you past the Daintree Rainforest and Low Isles whilst the crew dishes up just-caught tiger prawns, barramundi and crocodile spring rolls. The captain shares local knowledge about the vessel's heritage, marine life, and the region's cultural layers. Port transport included.

What to expect
You'll be picked up at Port Douglas and taken to your junk, where the crew welcomes you aboard with a complimentary drink. The next hour and a half unfolds at a gentle pace—sails up, breeze in your face, water glassy or rippled depending on the day. Food arrives in courses: tiger prawns first, then barramundi and crocodile spring rolls, all paired with bread, lemon, and sauces. Between bites, your captain talks through the boat's history, what lives beneath the surface, and why this stretch of coast matters. No rushing. Families with infants find infant seats available.
Good to know
Non-seafood options exist if prawns or crocodile aren't your thing. The boat suits all fitness levels. Morning or afternoon departures depending on tides. Bring sunscreen and a light layer—the breeze cools but the sun reflects hard off water.
