The diversity of the Daintree River, from its extensive estuary system to the fresh water of its upper streams, offers anglers a choice of a diverse range of fish species to target, whilst it’s myriad of flora and fauna species attract avid naturalists that like to venture from the mainstream tours.
The Daintree River is 45 minutes drive north from Port Douglas, and not only the gateway to Cape Tribulation, but to the close inshore reefs and wrecks around Snapper Island, Tongue, Rudder, Undine and Mackay Reefs.
Any method of fishing is effective, be it live or dead bait, lures, fly, and trolling. Combine these with the expertise of guaranteed local owner and guide Jamie Beitzel, and you can be assured of an enjoyable and satisfying charter on the Daintree.
Fish for what’s biting at the moment on a share charter, or target the species of your dreams on a specialised charter.
Jamie is the only Daintree born and raised owner/ guide on the Daintree River, has a family background of commercial fishing, and guided on the Daintree from 19 years of age.
Whether you are a novice fisher, experienced fly fisher, young or senior, naturalist, photographer, or a family group, you can be assured of a personalised, relaxed and easy going charter with Jamie and his enthusiastic personality that people continue to return to on their visits in this beautiful region.
