Port Douglas Tour Hook-A-Barra with Lunch

Not to be Missed in Port Douglas

We had a wonderful time here and were glad we chose the 4 hr plus experience where we were given an insight on the workings of a barramundi farm. A lot of credit must go to the extremely informative and effervescent Michael who regaled us with facts and figures about the barramundi and the farm. Lunch of barramundi and chips and the spicy barra burger was excellent. We topped off the day by reeling in two whoppers of barramundi! An exceptional day, indeed. Thank you Michael.

A must do!!

Wow!! What a great experience!! Michael was our guide.. he was fantastic.. the tour the food and the fishing was 10 out of 10.. Nike It!! Just Do It.. we even had a rare experience of seeing a Hippo enter the water to release a snagged lure!! Ha ha ha!! Great bunch of guys!

Highlight of our trip!

Absolute- must do experience. We caught the shuttle organised by the farm from Port Douglas on pick up Michael introduced himself and instantly we felt welcomed.. Michael led us on a tour around the farm which was very interesting and engaging and spoke about how the farm operates as well as the damages caused by the recent flooding caused by cyclone Jasper. We were saddened to learn that over 60% of their operations were damaged because of their flooding including some of their barramundi being unfortunately released into the Daintree river (great fishing now for the locals!) After our tour we had a really lovely lunch of fish and chips (other options including chicken available) which was cooked locally on the farm. Then we were into fishing! As someone with minimal fishing experience we were taught the tips and tricks on how to catch the barramundi and ended up catching two fish each, two of which were nearly 80cm!! It wasn’t just a fishing experience. We appreciated how caring the operators were of the fish and witnessed this first hand with their fishing tactics and release techniques. All of their operations consider the fish, wildlife and Daintree forest and what is best for the environment. Highly, highly recommend. Be sure to take a long sleeve shirt, hat and sunglasses as you are outside. Can’t wait to go back with family!

Great way to fish

Great day! Michael picked us up in Port Douglas & was friendly & polite from the start. We did a farm tour with Micheal which was interesting & informative. For lunch we had Barra fish & chips which were cooked to perfection. Then the fun started, under to the guidance of Michael we put our lines in & my god those Barra do bite & do put up fight. Thank you to Steve & the fabulous team at the Barra farm & especially to Micheal our top guide for great day.

Thanks, Michael

If there was an option to award six stars, we would. Our guide, Michael, was a very informative and knowledgeable guide. His tips on technique were spot on, ensuring good catches. Thanks, Michael!

Fishing, lunch and a farm tour

My husband and I went on a tour of the farm then fished for some trophy barramundi. The staff was very friendly. We were able to fish with Fly rods and spinner rods. The lunch was delicious. I had the spicy barramundi fried fish sandwich and my husband had the fish tacos. I caught the biggest fish at 89cm.

Hook-a-Barra fun!

Absolute banger of a day! Adam our tour guide picked us up (and dropped us back) from our hotel & was super lovely and knowledgeable- we had a lovely lunch on site with a great, informative tour followed by fishing! The team were a great help for a first time fisher. Couldn’t recommend this experience and Adam highly enough! 10/10 day out!

Fantastic day of Fishing with Michael from Hook a Burra

Found this fishing tour advertised in a local magazine while having coffee in Port Douglas and thought why not go fishing as have never caught a barramundi. SO HAPPY WE WENT ! What an awesome day. Michael collected us from our accommodation and from the moment he said HI, we knew this was going to be a good day. Polite young man with much local knowledge and happy to share while engaging us in great conversation. He then took us on the tour and spoke really well, with confidence and pride in his work at the Barramundi Farm. He even brought our food to us as a fine host for the day. Then came the fishing and WOW how fun was that !!!. An unexpected day full of fun, education and thrills. Thank you Michael and Team at Hook a Burra. Can't wait to return to enjoy the wonderful food and fishing.
