Pontoon hire - great day out!

The guys were very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable of the local area. The pontoon was very easy to navigate and we had a great day out! Would definitely recommend it!

There is nothing like taking the lead on your own adventure. The pontoon boats aren’t the fastest or most easy to handle, but they are safe, They give great shelter from the sun and they are so easy to drive. I highly recommend this activity as a must do in Cairns. The tour booking office wss manned by “Harry” on our day. Harry was extremely friendly and welcoming of his guests and he has great knowledge of Far North Queensland. Harry got us out and started on our adventure in no time. Thanks again!!! We found pictures of a crocodile when we reviewed our snapshots!! Mission accomplished!

Pontoon boat hire

The pontoon boat was perfect for us to to go fishing and crabbing. There was plenty of space, the seats were comfortable and it was easy to control. The staff were really nice and helpful.

Great time on the water

Great time out, caught fish, ate them on the BBQ and had a lovely look at the Cairns estuary/islnd area. I bought a boat after having a ball with the kids so yes, you will enjoy

Excellent experience

We had a great time out on the Pontoon. Caught lots of Bream....sadly no Barra as they prefer live bait. Staff were really helpful and friendly
