We had a lovely 1 1/2 hours today on the water with this beautiful old ship and its crew. Richard the skipper and Tahla , the deckhand, waitress and guide were great value. We managed to get out into the ocean from the estuary where we sailed around whilst provided with beautiful spring rolls and prawns and a drink of our choice. It was very relaxing but I think overpriced. $500 plus for 4 adults and 3 kids but we still enjoyed
We had a great arfternoon out on Shaolin with Fin & Dianna. The history of the Junk is fascinating & the view around the river area are so peaceful, great food & drink service, highly recommend
The Shaolin junk was built in Hong Kong a long time ago. She is sturdy and well kept. Flynn the skipper was friendly and fun. We motored out of the harbour, Flynn was informative and Taylor the hostess served us entrees of barramundi and crocodile spring rolls and salad with a glass of wine. We sailed around the headland and anchored off 4 mile beach and a basket of about eight very fresh, tasty tiger prawns with lemon and dipping sauce was enjoyed by all aboard. Flynn answered everyone's queries. Beautiful hot day with a lovely breeze. Perfect! PS if you can't book on their website or by phone, tickets are sold at the Daintree Tourism Bureau on Marcossan St or at other hotels or booking agents. Don't miss it! Lovely and relaxing!
This is a wonderful sail, our Captain was so knowledgeable and experienced, the lunch superb, and well served. The Shaolin is a must see, the history and layout of the vessel. Thank you for a wonderful time
Lovely experience Friendly knowledgable staff and good food.
Thanks so much! Lovely to hear you enjoyed the relaxed cruise, friendly crew and good food. ⛵❤️
So grateful I put this on my bucket list. Such a lovely day, great crew, fair price. fantastic vessel. We all want to go again.
Thank you! We’re so glad this experience made the bucket list and even better that you’d all come back again! Relaxing days on the water are what we’re all about. ❤️⛵
Had a great afternoon enjoying excellent seafood aboard the Shaolin. Unfortunately the weather didn’t allow the ship to cruise out into the harbour so we had to cruise the river. No crocs were sighted but the captain kept us entertained with his local knowledge. The ship is a beautiful old teak junk which gave us unique experience that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed your seafood lunch sail and the unique experience of being onboard our beautiful teak junk. While the weather doesn’t always let us head out into the harbour, we’re glad the captain’s local knowledge and storytelling kept things entertaining and enjoyable. Thanks again for sailing with us. ⛵❤️
This seafood lunch trip just out of the estuary is a treasure & the locals know it. The Shaolin lunch trip (and the sister boat, Lady Douglas, river trip) were recommended to me by a local & I sat with locals on the front deck learning how to peel the huge fresh prawns we were served. The captain and his mate were friendly, knowledgeable, attentive. It was the perfect trip to fit into a quieter day.
What a beautifully local experience! We're so glad you found us through word of mouth—there’s no higher praise than a recommendation from the locals. Nothing beats fresh prawns, good company, and a bit of salty storytelling on the bow. Delighted to hear the Shaolin added a bit of magic to your quiet day. Thanks for sailing with us! ⛵❤️
One of the best trips in Port Douglas. Excellent commentary by skipper Flynn and we enjoyed the best prawns we have eaten.
Thanks so much! We're thrilled you loved the cruise, the prawns, and Skipper Flynn’s top-notch commentary. Fresh seafood, smooth sailing, and great company—that’s what Shaolin is all about. Hope to welcome you aboard again soon!
