COOKTOWN CRUISES & BOAT RENTAL

ENDEAVOUR RIVER ECO CRUISE

Booking Essential - People travelling with pets are most welcome.
Departing at 1:00 pm Tuesday to Sunday (throughout the season) this two hour eco cruise will be one of the highlights of your stay in Cooktown. "Cooktown Cruises" is a locally owned business and you are invited to share in a scenic cruise on the historic Endeavour River. You will be welcomed aboard 'Flying Fish II', which is a shallow draught cruise boat, specially designed for river travel. It is approximately 9m long and carries 24 passengers.

On your cruise you will see one of Australia's most historic harbours where, in 1770, Lt. James Cook beached the 'Endeavour' to repair damage that was sustained on a reef near Hope Island. You will hear some of the Chinese and European history from the gold rush days and be shown the oldest brick building left on Cape York.

Wildlife, in particular birds, a crocodile nest and (sometimes) basking crocodiles, are a feature of this cruise along with information on the mangroves. Sometimes the skipper has crab pots in the river and on inspection you may be able to say "we caught a Mud Crab on our trip".

Cruising down the river on any day of the week is an experience not to be missed. So come along, relax and be entertained on a beautiful eco-tour.

WATER TAXI TRIPS

Take a Water Taxi to the North shore of the Endeavour River for a picnic or beachcombing. Escape for a romantic picnic or take a group of friends for a walk on the beautiful white sandy beach.

Groups from 2 to 24 people can travel - all prices are for a return trip - with pick up guaranteed. Departure is subject to weather conditions.

GROUP BOOKINGS

If you have a group of 6 or more people, Cooktown Cruises will be glad to take you on a special morning river cruise, a sunset harbour or dinner cruise, or even a night time crocodile spotting cruise.

We have a Seniors Special - 1 ½ hour with Tea, Coffee & Biscuits for Tour Groups or friends travelling together.

You will see the harbour area just as Lt Cook saw it and hear some of the Chinese and European history. Wildlife, in particular birds, a crocodile nest and sometimes basking crocodiles are a feature of this cruise along with information on the mangroves. Sometimes the skipper has crab pots in the river and on inspection you may be able to say "we caught a Mud Crab on our trip".
