SAFEGUARDING THE FUTURE BARRAMUNDI FARMING

Barramundi farming is the sustainable future for this icon species, ensuring quality supply to market without depleting wild stocks. At Daintree Saltwater Barramundi Farm, we’ve joined with other top Barramundi farmers across Australia to change the future of Barramundi in Australia. We’re passionate about Aussie produce, sustainably farmed here at home for generations to come. Look for our golden tick of approval for farms you can trust to meet the highest Australian standards and approved by the Australian Sustainably Farmed Barramundi Certification Program.

Same with the catch-and-release Barramundi fishing at Hook-A-Barra. Our sessions allow you to learn, practice and fine tune your angling skills, using equipment and technique that doesn’t injure the fish.

LEARN MORE ABOUT CULTURE ON COUNTRY

The Kuku Yalanji people are the Indigenous inhabitants of the land from south of Port Douglas, to Cooktown in the north and Palmer River in the west. They are true rainforest people with a history dating back over 50,000 years, and their culture is built around a deep respect for nature and an intimate knowledge of its cycles. Their knowledge has been passed down through generations, and you can share their dreamtime legends, culture and traditions by taking a Kuku Yalanji Dreamtime Walk at the spectacular Mossman Gorge.

Hook-A-Barra and Daintree Saltwater Barramundi Farm are located at Wonga Beach, which is approximately a 20 minute drive north of Mossman. The Dreamtime Walks have 5 departure times throughout the day, so plan and book ahead to ensure you can combine your fishing and farm experience, with a cultural experience.
