The KEKOA experience:
Our cook/hostess Kelly offers our guests great meals that include the best local seafood and quality Australian beef. We trust you’ll enjoy the menu – and you certainly will not go home hungry!
During the Cairns Giant Black Marlin Season you can enjoy a snorkel or swim after breakfast and sport fishing for bait and the table, before heading out to the marlin grounds – a short trip of a matter of a few minutes.
As for our barramundi fishing gulf tours, we know you want to maximise your fishing time so you will be on the water with your guide in one of our two CrossXCountry tenders and fishing straight after breakfast. Want to spend a full day on the water – no problem!
At night, enjoy socialising and unwinding while reviewing the days footage over the selection of Australian beer, wine & soft drinks provided. KEKOA is fully equipped with cockpit and tow cameras to record all the fishing action on video. Kelly is an avid photographer and captures some truly awesome still photographs as well (see more of Kelly’s pictures in the photo galleries). You’ll leave with not only great memories of a fantastic trip, but some great video and photographic evidence as well all copied for you onto DVD.
