Location

Cape York Adventures are based at the top of Cape York Peninsula, exploring the Torres Strait and Cape York wilderness.

Cairns to the top of Cape York is 1000 kms by road, 800kms by air and sea. At the very top is the area known as the Northern Peninsula Area (NPA) surrounded by water: to the west is the Gulf of Carpentaria, north the Torres Strait, east the Great Barrier Reef and south the Jardine and Jacky Jacky River systems. This unique region is home to Cape York Adventures.

Cape York Adventures is based at Seisia an Islander Community on the coast just 30kms from Australia's most northerly point. This unique location gives us access to the east and west coasts of the top of the Cape and the nearby Torres Strait islands. Fishermen and adventurers can enjoy different eco-systems and destinations every day of their visit.
