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!

Had a great time on the pontoon, boat was great , easy to use. Caught some fish, it rained a bit, so the canopy was great. Already making plans to book another trip.

Awesome adventure

These guys go above and beyond, I will definitely be back, not only was this great value, the customer service was 10/10, they also have wheelchair accessible pontoons available for hire, because of this I would give these guys 100/10, more buisnesses should take note of these guys, its great they cater for people with limited mobility, Thanks lots a great day out 😁

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.
