ABOUT US
We are based at the top of Cape York, over on Albany Island which is a mere 140km from Papua New Guinea.
We are extremely passionate about the area, which is why we want to connect people from the mainland to the Torres Strait to immerse themselves with culture, tradition and the rich history that we love.
We are currently offering Fishing Charters, Private Boat Charters, Day Trips and we are currently working on something incredible over at Albany Island!
Cape York Adventures was established by John and Sam Charlton in 1996 and has since been taken over by Dave who spent many years prior working under John, gaining vital knowledge and experience of the area.
When the opportunity arose for Dave to purchase the business it was a no brainer, having fallen in love with the area and the people in it, it was a sure thing this was something that he wanted.
