Cruising and BBQ on Trinity Inlet
We had a wonderful time as a family cruising down the Trinity inlet and having a BBQ on the beautiful waters. The staff at Cairns Boat Hire offered great service and had all the add-ons ready and prepared for our arrival. The pontoon boat was certainly easy to maneuver for boating novices and anyone with a regular driving license should be able to manage. We rented it for half a day and before we knew it, it was time to head back. We didn't get much of wildlife sightings except for a couple of birds. Hopefully one day someone can consider plotting out the known areas to visit on the maps apart from just the restricted areas to avoid. Nonetheless, overall it was a wonderful excursion for the entire family
