Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have been on many fishing charters in Australia and NZ, this one was by far the best organised in terms of fishing and equipment, catering, looking after your catch and the environment- definitely recommend.

Pete and Cohen were fantastic guides, I hadn’t fished in a while but they were so helpful with any questions I had. I caught way more fish I expected to and so many different types of fish. Beautiful place to be out fishing. I would absolutely recommend this tour, I had such a fun day!

Thanks to Logan and Clyde for an unforgettable bucks fishing adventure. The experience was fantastic from start to finish - we pulled in fish after fish thanks to some expert guidance from Logan, and Clyde kept us entertained and well equipped to keep fishing the whole day. Highly recommend for anyone who is keen to get out on the GBR and catch some fish. Can't wait for my next adventure with Cairns Reef Fishing.

I had two tongue-in-cheek requests at the start of a full day fishing charter - whales and a coral trout. Pete and Cohen found both and much more! What a fantastic day fishing and what a great captain and deckie. We wanted for nothing, food was fantastic and we caught plenty of fish to go around

Had the pleasure of Logan as skipper today when my first trip with him 6 years ago he was the work experience kid! Always a great day out and a fantastic day on the water - awesome team at Cairns Reef Fishing that I’d recommend to all coming to Cairns and also for locals like myself 👍🏻

Spent a week out fishing with Pete, Clyde and Deano as part of the SR crew. We caught many different species of fish and got to experience the GBR. Excellent service by the crew, morning tea, lunch and afternoon prawn and fruit platter. The Vessel was well equipped and comfortable with onboard toilet and seating whilst underway. Only thing I would suggest is an upgrade to there fishing gear even though we brought most of our own. Awesome week and awesome operators thanks guys.

Hi Guys.
we own an apartment at Trilogy and we or the kids come up very often.I have tried some half day "crabbing and fishing" deals offered but was very disappointed.
I would like to find someone that the wife and I can use or the rest of the family when they come up.
Could you please give me some prices on half day and full day and the locations where you fish please?
thanks

hi guys reading the reports I'd like a bit more info on species/sizes of fish caught? also dates you went on this charter would be greatly appreciated, as a rough estimate for seasons for each species of fish caught.. I have 4 reef charters booked in the coming week and am curious what to expect. thanks in advance :)
How much per person.?

$250 per person. Includes equipment, reef fees, morning and afternoon tea. All fish are cleaned and packaged. A word of advice would be to only take what you plan to eat unless you have storage facilities. Cheers and goodluck
