Charter Operator
Barra Private Tours

Member since March 2022 Darwin, Australia
Background
I am the owner and operator of Barra Private Tours, based in the Northern Territory’s Top End. With years of hands-on fishing experience, I specialize in crafting tailored trips that leverage my knowledge of local waters to ensure optimal success and enjoyment. My passion lies in targeting barramundi—a species celebrated for its size, fight, and flavor. Renowned as one of fishing’s ultimate challenges, barramundi thrive in our region’s estuaries and coastal waters, offering exhilarating battles that test skill and patience. Our half-day tours are planned around tidal patterns, ensuring ideal conditions whether you’re casting for barramundi in the estuaries or exploring inshore reef fishing. Our trips are tailored to the perfect tidal conditions. We will check the tide condition prior to the tour and contact you to see if you would like to proceed with lure fishing or bait fishing. It's upon client choices. Solo travellers, couples, families, and groups are all welcome. My goal is to blend excitement with relaxation, offering not just a fishing trip but a chance to connect with the environment through local expertise. As a full-service guide, I provide all gear, licenses, and safety equipment—you only need to bring along your own beer and personal items. Post-trip, I’ll clean and fillet your catch, ready for you to take home and savor. Join me for an authentic Northern Territory experience.
