The horses are well trained working horses and are not your typical follow the leader trail horses. Our guide was lovely and very knowledgeable.

My wife and I had no experience in riding horses but we had an incredible time and would highly recommended this to others. Thanks Kirsten for your patience and insightful knowledge which made us feel relaxed to enjoy the experience

Amazing scenery! Lady was so nice, even though we hadnt been on a horse before! Fantastic morning

My friend Siobhan and I absolutely loved our experience with Ride the Beach Adventures. We felt comfortable even though we had minimal experience. Such a peaceful and incredible experience and I would recommend it to anyone!

For a Cairns person to recommend this is saying something. Great guides. Matty even gave us some time to learn to upskill. My wife and daughter also felt great to get out in our local wonderland. We will go again. You will find out a lot of information about the region and it’s history. Thanks for a trip of fun exercise, relaxing and fresh fruit. New sport for me as a kite boarder. Loved it.

The tour was fun and interactive, the hosts were very knowledgeable of the area and the history of the place. Would highly recommend everyone try this as it’s an amazing experience and the views are beautiful..

Although it didn’t stop raining Simon made the tour worth it. Thank you so much. I really liked the fact that you gave options for lunch. Also being picked up and dropped off added to the experience as it made it easy.

I had a very nice day. Well organised and the guide was very nice

We originally just booked the 1hr fishing package, but decided to upgrade to include the Farm Tour once we there. We are SO GLAD we did, not only was the tour informative and fun, the tasting board was exquisite and a generous size, plus we got to do 'extra' fishing in addition to the hour we had already booked. All of us (2Ad, 3ch) had a ball, and hooked many many Barra. Crew member Simon was exceptional, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and was really patient with the kids. What should've been a 1hr activity turned in to 3hrs and we couldn't be happier. Thanks to all staff at Hook A Barra for a memorable day out!

A must do when in Port Douglas. Fantastic, friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Great for anyone even if you haven’t fished before.

Great day, landed plenty of Barra. Very informative tour, such a great set up.

Great crew. . Lovely cruise

LOVED IT! We had a stunning sunset, friendly hosts and we didn't have to deal with the numbers you see on the larger boats. I also was interested in the history of the boat. Great job!

Booked this for my parents who were here on holidays. They haven’t stopped raving about how amazing the cruise and food was not to mention how friendly the team working on board were. Well worth checking out.

The experience was great and the staff very helpful and informative. An excellent experience all round.. Highly Recommend it. Gay and Nigel.

Our group of 3 began their evening comfortably. The Captain & co were incredibly informative and super helpful. Felt really comfortable and assured whilst on board. Very relaxing. Definate go to little trip. If you want to learn something too, get on board! Thanks for the eatery tips! We enjoyed the humour btw.

I had a great day learning how to use the bike, testing my skills and building my confidence biking through different terrains. Was good to jump in the water and the rock pools. Steve had good knowledge of the area and showed us all the best parts. Lunch, snacks and water was all included. Will most definately book again :)

Thank you so much for taking care of us, and showing us this beautiful part of the world! From the moment we stepped on the boat we knew we were in good hands. Special shoutout to Alison for her assistance in making sure I was relaxed with the snorkel and the marine biologist (apologies I’ve forgotten your name!) who gave a really fantastic presentation on the marine life we saw. A snorkel safari was also thrown in which was fabulous also. Two of my teen kids opted to use a life jacket and a pool noodle, I too went with the noodle so I could just relax and look around. Food was fantastic also. Can’t wait to come again sometime in the future and I will not hesitate in booking through with these guys again!

Rough seas out made for an interesting morning, but Captain Lisa did her best to make it smooth as possible. Rest of staff handled us with aplomb, smiles on faces and a terrific attitude. Reef spots were wonderful. Boat clean. All good. Recommend highly.

My wife, my Daughter,some close friends and I, recently enjoyued a sunset cruise in Port Douglas on the Shaolin and would recommend it to anyone. The staff on board were so welcoming and friendly, as well as being able to tell us the history of the Junk and of course great local knowlege. On the evening we were oin board, the waters around Port Douglas were very choppy, and the Shaolin is one of the only sunset cruises that has the option of travelling up Dicksons Inlet, so a calm trip is guarenteed in case you are worried about seasickness. We had a fantastic night for my birthday and would advise anyone heading to Port Douglas, to make sure you add the Shaolin to your to do list. The only other advise would be, make sure you book prior to arriving in Port Douglas to ensure your place on board. Whether it's a day tout to snorkel at the Low Isles, or the sunset cruise, the Shaolin should be your first choice!

I treated myself and my mum to a sunset cruise and I’m so glad I did! The crew were friendly and informative and it was so relaxing to be out on the water. The food & complimentary drink was a great start to the evening too. The boat is beautiful & very well maintained.

A wonderful sunset on port Douglas with Shaolin. 1 drink and 2 snacks included, a lovely place to see port Douglas from the sea. Staff friendly and not to many people on the board ;)

What a great experience. The Shaolin is a beautiful boat. Crew were friendly and helpful. Canapes and drinks great but just the sail out from Port Douglas and seeing the sunset was amazing. Highlight of our trip from Melbourne.

Great… no sunset regrettably, rained but serene and beautiful conditions… the operators made it a fantastic experience! I will do it again in a heartbeat as a local.. a great way to get out on the water

We thoroughly enjoyed our sail on board this historical junk with the Shaolin crew. Best way to spend an afternoon drifting along with drinks & snacks a plenty. A great relaxed atmosphere with free choice of sitting beneath or above deck. Although we didn’t get to see a sunset due to the blocking sun, it was still a memorable experience.

It was absolute bliss, taking in the views of the area on the Shaolin. The Captain and his 1st mate were welcoming, friendly and informative. Great start to our holiday!

Brilliant tour, just nine in our group. I chose this over a reef tour partly because of cost and because weather had been poor for the last few days. We turned back early because one of the group was unwell with the swell but this meant we had time to go up river where we saw a crocodile. Only downside was that one of the group was very loud and offensive about various people(s) but you can't blame the crew for this! They were very informative and fun and the included drink and snacks were a nice touch. So, if you want a great small group experience this is ideal

After some delays due to weather experienced a relacing inlet cruise. Most recomended for service and hospitality. Must do activity whilst on holiday

Was such a great experience Family friendly Great staff Awesome boat!

Excellent sunset cruise… Just fabulous.

Due to the sea conditions we did the sunset cruise up the river. Great cruise and superb snacks and bevvies. Cheers team...

What a well run operation. The crew was fantastic and the facilities were top notch. These people love their job and it shows. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

My partner and I really enjoy our sunset cruise with the crew on the Shaolin we had gorgeous weather. Excellent value for money and overall a wonderful experience.

We had a wonderful day of sailing, snorkelling and sitting on the beach. The buffet lunch was yummy with unlimited prawns. One of the best day trips I've done.
