What people are saying about Far North Queensland

A very nice trip. We were on the sailing boat with around 25 guests. The Aperol was already served in the harbor and then shortly after the small antipasti platter. After leaving the port, we went out a bit under sail. Photos could be taken in the bow and additional drinks could be purchased if desired. On the way back the beautiful sunset could be admired.

We had the best night ever from our arrival to the end. The staff service to the beautiful delicious food to the music my family enjoyed the vibe. I would recommend anyone on holiday to do it you won’t be disappointed we didn’t care with the few showers on the night too. Thank you Skipper and crew for a wonderful awesome night

Was a beautiful afternoon on the boat and had a great time with my partner. We enjoyed learning about the history of both the land and the boat. It was great getting the chance to pull the sail myself.

The whole experience was well organised. Our guide Kerry was excellent- sharing plenty of local knowledge throughout the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

My parents enjoyed the dinner . The hosts were very pleasant and polite. The food was also delicious .
