fishing spot, just over an hour from Darwin. After a friendly welcome, your guide will run you through a quick safety briefing and show you the ropes. You’ll learn how to set the lure, cast it like a pro, and reel it in with the right technique to entice a strike. Then it's go time. Head down to our custom-built casting zones along the stocked freshwater dam. Using lightweight rods, you’ll fish for strong, saltwater-bred barramundi ranging from 20cm to over a metre. The thrill hits when that rod bends and the barra breaks the surface. We’ll be on hand to help you land your catch, offer tips, while you have a go at being an angler. Whether it's your first time fishing or your hundredth, this is an authentic, fun, and wild NT experience to remember. Sometimes we catch so many fish, that we have to manage the bag limit for the welfare of our animals - This doesn't take from the experience, we believe it adds to it. This just means you can take your time to enjoy the thrill of angling and choosing the fish. Or check out our live Barramundi displays.
