Most people know that Cairns is famous for the fantastic scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, but that’s not the only thing this part of Queensland offers. One of the best ways to explore the area is with Catcha -Crab, based locally out of the Marlin Jetty. This is truly one of the most unique experiences you can find, starting from the moment the free bus picks you up at your accomodation. During the winter, there is a solid chance you’ll see a crocodile sunning itself on the mud flats on low tide!

Chances are you’ve fished before, and great catches are certianly available on one of these outings, (there are up to 32 varieties if fish in the Inlet), but the real prizes are fresh Mud Crabs plucked right out of the mangroves. These crustaceans are approximately one kilo each. Head out AM or PM and the experienced crew will cook up the days catches alongside fresh salad and fruit platters right there on the boat.

Catcha-Crab runs tours all year-round, with the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Years Day. The purpose built, spacious boat used can accomodate up to 30 passengers, and both English and Japanese are spoken.Everything is included in one low price, including pick-up in City area, tea, coffee, lunch or dinner and all tackle and bait.If your fish is of legal size the crew will scale and gut it for you to take with you if you wish.

What really sets Catcha-Crab apart from the competition is the service offered by Skipper Tony Hodgetts and his crew.They’ve been at this for almost 20 years, and know the local waterways down to the hilt. For those concerned with seasickness, take heart: in all the years these tours have been going out, there hasn’t been a single sick passenger.

For a totally unique experience unlike anything you’ve seen before, try Catcha-Crab. This Cairns attraction is one you surley won’t forget soon.
