Shaolin Seafood Lunch Sail

1 to 4 hours

Overview

This is a short lunch cruise on Port Douglas’ distinctive Chinese junk boat, the Shaolin. You’ll spend 1.5 hours out on the water with a seafood lunch included: barramundi and crocodile spring rolls, locally caught wild prawns served with bread, lemon and sauce, plus a beer or wine. It’s a more relaxed, food-focused option than a standard sightseeing trip, and suits travellers who want a laid-back sail without committing half a day.

Why backpackers love it

This one works well if you want a proper boat experience without giving up a full day. The food and drink are included, which makes the cost easier to weigh up, and the local prawns give it a bit more character than a basic harbour cruise. It’s not a shoestring option at $95, but for a short treat or a more social lunch on the water, it’s an easy one to slot into a Port Douglas stay.

What to expect

You’ll board the Shaolin for a 1.5-hour sail and settle in for a relaxed lunchtime trip on the water. During the cruise, you’ll be served two spring rolls, a box of fresh local prawns with bread, lemon and sauce, and one included drink. The experience is straightforward and fairly short, so it works well if you want to fit a boat trip into a broader day in Port Douglas. Public transport is available nearby, but you should be comfortable with a moderate level of physical activity.
