FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND'S PREMIER FISHING CHARTER

ABOUT TROPIC BARRA Adventures

why fish with us

We pride ourselves on EFFORT and PASSION, making every experience personal, private and one to remember. Each adventure remote and one of a kind — visiting world heritage listed rainforests, coastal beaches, Tinaroo Dam and rivers with scenery you have to physically see to comprehend.

All charters are owner-operated, backed by a money-back guarantee with expert guides who live and breathe fishing with one goal — to bring your fishing dreams to life.

We currently hold a master permit covering from the Daintree River to the Hinchinbrook Channel and every river in between. This gives us pure flexibility to operate where conditions are best, guaranteeing an amazing experience time and time again.
