ABOUT US
We are based at the top of Cape York, in Seisia, a Torres Strait Islander community in the Northern Peninsula Area 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 our 3 Island tours, Fishing Charters 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.

Her favourite fish to catch would have to be Spanish Mackerel, they put up a good fight and are delicious to eat.

Coming up all the way from Hobart for a 'quick' visit with his brother Billy to see what all the hype was about. It didn't take him long to realise that the NPA was where he was going to spend his next few months.
Albert has grown up working on boats alongside his brother and under the guidance of his dad fishing for squid, shark and scallops. Years of experience means that you will be in safe hands.
When he's not working he loves playing his guitar, listening to music and tattooing.
