The Moonlight Tour

As the sun sets over Cairns into a balmy tropical night, visitors are launched into the calm estuaries of Trinity Inlet.

Sitting in the comfort of Great Day  vessel, this calm water cruise becomes a
moonlight adventure as the nocturnal fauna of the water ways awakens. Fish,
crustaceans, aquatic worms, molluscs and over 150 species of birds inhabit these
waters.

The alert eye may catch a dragonfly
dancing on the water's surface, a Heron feeding on small baitfish, or a Flying Fox hanging amongst  the mangroves.

The first stop gives visitors the chance to pull up giant live Mud Crabs.
Photographs of this spectacular sea
creature can be taken with its claws safely restrained.

The challenge of catching hard-fighting tropical fish begins. Whether it be the famous Barramundi or a Mangrove Jack, these fish ensure visitors work up an
appetite worthy of a feast of barbecue King Prawns, sausage sizzle and dessert, which is served aboard Great Day.

The Moonlight Tour ends with a relaxing cruise back to the jetty.
