100% recommend - The crew are absolutely amazing and a wealth of knowledge. I learnt a lot on this experience. They made me and my son feel like family and not a paying customer. 100% recommended you do this whilst your there. Very family friendly, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Must do , great customer experience - Hook-A-Barra is an absolute must-do! 😍 The staff are super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience unforgettable. We started with lunch, and oh man, the fresh fish and spring rolls with prawns were to die for 🍔. After lunch, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the barracuda tanks and a safety briefing, which was awesome.
The real magic happened when we started fishing. Our kids, who had never fished before, were catching barracuda left and right thanks to the staff's amazing guidance 🎣. My six-year-old and eight year old caught their very first fish, and the smiles on their faces were priceless 😊.

Great fun. Terrific crew. Good food. - Had a great time here. Terrific crew who look after you very well, and educate you too! No guarantees that the barra will bite but it's great fun when they do (especially the big ones 😁😁). The tucker at their Cafe is top notch too. Highly recommended.

Fabulous stop not to be missed on the way to or from the Daintree. - A must stop experience the team are amazing and help you catch something to show your skills. Fabulous for kids as well. Our 13 year old was desperate to catch a fish and the team made this happen. They have different ponds that help. Love that it is also catch and release. We stayed for delicious lunch. Must stop on the way to and from the Daintree. An extra special catch someone caught a rare Albino Barra.

Exciting Barra experience - Our 8-year-old son loves to fish. The team were great, notably Bonnie who went out of her way to try to give him the best experience. Unfortunately he didn't have any luck catching a fish however was able to reel in a decent size barra!

Best day out! - An unforgettable day out with our boys — plenty of laughs, smiles, and the thrill of hooking a Barra or two! The team were absolutely fantastic: professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so enjoyable from start to finish. Everything was well-organized and relaxed, just the way a perfect fishing trip should be.
Thanks again for an amazing day — we’ll definitely be back again soon!

Cracker of a time - 2nd time I have been there. Went with 9 mates and we had a cracker of a time. Caught a heap of Barra and the crew are absolute legends. Friendly, knowledgeable and you can tell they love what they do. Anytime I am up in the FNQ I will go again …It’s a great time 👍
