Took my family out on the boat with Tracy and Stan and couldn't have asked to meet two more friendly and hospitable operators. Nothing was a hassle and we felt welcome from the first minute. We searched high and low for the shifty barra and it was great to know that the guides were as keen for us to catch a barra as much as my son was. Great food and great company and I would recommend these guys to anyone who wants a fun time with good food and fantastic hosts. Thanks Tracy and Stan, we are coming back soon!
We loved the trip with the family, the children and grandchildren enjoyed swiming and the girls caught therir first fish Congratulations to Lake Tinaroo Cruises Ray and Lucy
We are locals who take family and grandchildren out each year we have done a fuul day tour and pm cruise and enjoyed both.
My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and evening with Tracy on the lake, and were impressed by her enthusiasm, knowledge, and attention to detail - and she is a fascinating personality in her own right. The boat itself is well equipped, innovative and very comfortable, and proved a stable and effective platform for our pursuit of the elusive big Barra, with lure casting, trolling, and live baiting all catered for. While the weather and the fish weren't particularly kind on this occasion, the bird life and the tranquil scenery alone make the trip worthwhile. Definitely a repeatable experience, and the highlight of our stay in Yungaburra.
Had a wonderful afternoon on Lake Tinaroo. Tracey our skipper was full of energy and was the right person to take us out. Although the weather was poor we had a fish but caught nothing...never mind. It didn't really matter that we didn't get any fish. Enjoyed a lovely dinner of red claw and sausage sandwiches. Time seemed to fly. Will definitely be back. Thankyou.
We did a 4 hour cruise on Lake Tinaroo. We had 7 adults plus the skipper (Tracy). It was a birthday party with a difference. It was very comfortable seating and very stable, even though it was blowing about 10+ knots. The Lake is a birdwatchers haven and naturalists zone. You can fish for one of the metre + Barramundi that Tinaroo is world famous for. Fishing gear and bait is provided however you need to buy your fishing permit beforehand.The skipper , Tracy, knows her stuff. She takes you where you want (fishing for the Barra , birdwatching or just relaxing). Tracy is a great tour guide. She is a real character, she makes the cruise that bit more enjoyable. and she cooks lunch (we provided the rissoles and sausages). We will definitely return for another cruise, maybe a sunset cruise over the Lake.
The whole family had a really peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable cruise topped off with a bar-b-q. Thanks to Stan our skipper for showing us the points of interest and keeping us entertained. We are Yungaburra locals and must do it again.
Thank you Stan for taking us out on Boxing Day - what a wonderful relaxing afternoon/evening! Pity the barra had also eaten too much over Christmas and weren't interested in our attempts to lure them onto a line!! The cruise was a perfect way to unwind and celebrate after a busy year.
This is becoming a holiday staple for our family - we'll be back again next time we're at Tinaroo.On our first cruise with Lake Tinaroo Cruises, Tracy was the perfect skipper and host. Nothing was too much trouble. We spent a glorious afternoon taking in the scenery, swimming and fishing, while enjoying a couple of drinks, nibbles and barbecue. Our entire family loved it.When we returned again this Easter, we were again cared for by perfect hosts - this time Stan and Bec. It was another wonderful half day on the water. Stan went to great pains to ensure our children reeled in a couple of fish each and had the proud photos to take home as proof. Bec was attentive and keen to ensure we relaxed, serving out our food and topping up drinks. This is a wonderful family experience and you'll be in great hands with this lovely local family.Can't wait 'til we go back again.
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip on the morning of a total solar eclipse. We floated on the tranquil lake, with no other people or boats in sight, and watched the eclipse. The experience was awesome. The boat's skipper, Tracy, who has a natural charm and enthusiasm, made us feel welcome. She cooked up delicious pancakes on the boat, and served them with fresh tropical fruit and champagne.
