Tinaroo Tropical Houseboats


Discover one of Australia’s best kept secrets…..Spectacular Lake Tinaroo, the jewel in the crown of the Atherton Tablelands, is just an hours drive from tropical Cairns, North Queensland. With over 200kms of scenic shoreline, this beautiful freshwater eco-system delights nature-lovers, adventurers & photographers alike.

Aboard your houseboat you can spend lazy days cruising, swimming & fishing, or bushwalking in the magnificent forests. If you’re a keen photographer or nature-lover, you’ll be delighted with the abundance of tropical flora and fauna all around you.

Swim and enjoy other water activities all year round. Watch over 300 species of birds on & around the lake. If you’re quiet, you may even catch a glimpse of a timid platypus. There’s challenging year round fishing for world-record size barramundi or try the famous local delicacy - redclaw freshwater crayfish.

Your houseboat is simple to operate, no licence is required & we include a detailed map of cruising routes and mooring sites along with friendly personal instruction on arrival.

All houseboats are fully self-contained with deckchairs, gas stove, fridge, hot shower and toilet, mattresses, pillows, cooking & eating utensils. Just bring food, beverages and linen (sheets, pillowcases, blankets, towels, tea towels). Alternatively linen can be provided by prior arrangement.

With your choice of luxury or economy sized houseboats this is a unique & relaxing adventure holiday for couples, families & friends. We invite you to create your own holiday…the possibilities are endless….
