What an awesome experience at Hook-A-Barra! The food was fantastic, the staff were so friendly, and the fishing was an absolute blast. I have to admit, I wasn't convinced about fishing at all, it's never really been my thing. My partner insisted we give it a go, and I'm so glad he did because I think I ended up having even more fun than he did! To top it off, I caught a bigger fish than him, which made the day even better. We'll definitely be back!

An awesome half day farm tour, fishing and lunch provided by the friendliest team imaginable. The team go out of their way to ensure you experience catching these majestic fish! The whole experience was personable and friendly and very informative but hey it’s all about catching a Barra and they go out of their way to do everything they can to see that happen. We caught at least 10 (wife and I) Barra round the 600-700mm range and had several hook ups in the trophy pond but spat the hooks when they jumped but hey that’s the challenge of catching big Barra! Recommend to bring your friends and family and have a great time catching the most iconic fish in Australia!!! 👍👍👍

Great staff that are super friendly. Property is really cool with lots of little bara ponds to watch over. Can eat lunch here without paying for fishing and have great fish tacos. They are hopefully soon to get a liquor liscense too!

We easily booked the fishing experience online and signed the waivers. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the friendly Steve. We learnt a lot about barramundi in the first 10 mins of being there. This was an awesome experience to be given a lesson on casting a line, fishing in their trophy pond and then be lucky enough to be taken to another pond by the lovely Adam. He really made the fishing experience memorable and is such a genuine guy who loves his job. We all got to catch a barra and it has created the best memories for us as a family. I really recommend you stop in here while up nears Port Douglas and Cairns.

A must do attraction if staying around Port Douglas / Daintree! Great day out for the entire family! Excellent staff, educational, and most importantly great fun! We started fishing for the smaller Barra where everyone in our group caught numerous fish, before moving onto the ‘Trophy Pond’ and catching some trophy fish (800mm+). Entry gets you a free sun protection face mask (shown in the photos) and there is also a discount for locals. You can bring your own rod / lures as well. Good food and a relaxed place to sit in the shade with a cold beverage and watch the excitement of other families reeling in fish. The kids loved the brag board too, where you list the size of the biggest fish you caught, although the fish seemed to grow a few cm’s between release and recording on the board 🤔 There were smiles all around, I highly recommend giving it a go!
