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 offer 3 Island tours, 2 Island Cultural tours, Fishing Charters, Extended Wet Season Fishing Charters, 4WD Tours to Pajinka and 4WD Tours to Fruit Bat, Eliot and Twin Falls.
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.
In September 2020 saw me, a regular CYA guide purchase the business from John and Sam.
I've always been a mad keen fisherman and adventurer, travelling around Australia for years, working and exploring. Plus travelling and backpacking to some 30 odd countries around the world including places like Tibet, East Timor and Alaska.

Her favourite fish to catch would have to be Spanish Mackerel, they put up a good fight and are delicious to eat.
Her must do would be the 2 Island Cultural Tour, through dance and story telling you can learn so much about the Torres Strait culture and everyone makes you feel like family.

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.

This is Kris’s first year working with us, he grew up chasing snapper with his family offshore between Brisbane and Sydney.
As soon as he was old enough to drive he began exploring the Great Barrier Reef from the northern tip of Frazer Is to Lockhart River. As an adult he made it his mission to catch the biggest fish all over the world. From 60kg GTs in Oman to 80kg Dogtooth Tuna in the Pacific islands. He’s tried his hand at pro fishing but guiding other people is my passion.
Now Cape York Adventures is his home and catching trophy fish for people is what gets him up in the morning.
