What to expect

You'll start with a drive through the local landscape, spotting native vegetation and learning regional ecology before arriving at the farm. Once there, guides outfit you with rods and bait, then coach you through casting and landing techniques at designated ponds. Between fishing attempts, you'll walk the farm infrastructure—see how barramundi are bred and grown in the system. Mid-morning, sit down to a menu featuring your catch prepared fresh, often grilled or steamed simply to let the flavour speak for itself.

Good to know

No prior fishing experience required. Transport is included in the 4-hour window, so actual fishing time is roughly 2–2.5 hours. Wear polarised sunglasses and bring sunscreen. The farm is fully accessible with paved paths and disabled facilities.
