The Daintree Saltwater Farm Tour is a premium, small group tour lasting 1 hour. It includes a meet and greet and walking tour around the various ponds and locations on the Daintree Saltwater Barramundi Farm. As a part of the tour, you get to feed some of the barramundi in our ponds, where you’ll see them race, jump and fight for food. It gives you a first-hand view of the energy and enthusiasm of the iconic Barramundi. Next step is some catch and release fishing, to check the weight and health of the fish. So good!
