Captain Billy's Cape York Wilderness Fishing Safari
Your premium Australian wilderness out-back fishing safari kicks off in Cairns where you will meet Captain Billy's team of experienced 4WD off-road tour drivers/fishing guides - Terry, Graham and Steve. From here we pack up and hit the road in convoy cruising comfortably in Toyota Landcruiser V8 vehicles, towing platinum Kimberley Kampers Off Road Trailers. Welcome to the first day of your exciting 7 day wilderness fishing adventure to Cape Flattery, Cape Melville, Bathurst Head, Bathurst Bay and Princess Charlotte Bay!
Fishing, 4WD’s, rugged outback, solitude, camping and a helluva lot more fishing… this has to be the perfect combination for a ‘blokes getaway’! But just because we’re blokes doesn’t mean we have to rough it! Under the guidance of your personal tour driver and fishing guide, you will enjoy travelling with the latest 4WD technology equipment available, and your campfire cuisine chef will ensure a comfortable and relaxing fishing holiday, whilst you enjoy excellent food and beverages, all in an exciting wilderness setting. The majority of your out-back bush dining experiences will be at the hand of your experienced outback gourmet cook, proud to provide hearty, delicious Australian BBQ fare! Whether it’s from the "Aussie Spit", in the "Hillbilly Campfire" oven or a delicious juicy steak with all the trimmings from the hot plate, the food is great! And those fresh fish you will catch – we can't wait to try that!
Using two off road Kimberley Kamper trailers for a mobile fishing camp, our flexibility gives us a distinct advantage. In addition, fishing inland waterways means that we are not governed by the restraints of having to fish the tide. We can fish for Barramundi all day and all night right from our back doorstep, authentic bush camping at its best!
The Fishing Your Cape York fishing Safari is partially a self drive operation with two anglers in each custom alloy fishing tinnies (boats). Our experienced fishing guides have years of knowledge about the Cape York area and know where the best fishing is, and when!
