Barra Park

Unfortunately your advertisement announced opening day April 1st booking was made and paid for. Received a call from the park a couple of hrs before stating the Barra park is not open. So unfortunately my children and I were extremely unimpressed!! So a wasted day and also out of pocket. You should not be taking bookings and payments from customers for a park that’s not open.

Hi Belinda, thank you for your lovely feedback. Due to the recent flooding we had some damage to the Barra Park and also lost some stock, and weren’t able to fix in time. You made your booking at 10:30am, we noticed it came through and called you immediately by 12 pm once we noticed. The bookings were not supposed to be open, though we are only human and mistakes do happen. Sorry this ruined your whole day. You are receiving a full refund too, so you will not be out of pocket. Have a great holiday :)

Barra Park

Staff were lovely and accomodating, we had 6 people and there were only 5 rods available but they gave us extra time because of this. Certainly overpriced for what you get, 5 of us managed to get 1 fish each, we enjoyed it but not good value for money and I wouldn’t go again.

From Cairns Barra Park - Catch and Release Fishing

Hi there, thank you for your feedback, we will certainly take this into consideration. Due to a busy school holidays, we have many of our rods broken and replacements are on the way. We do only take approx 6 in a session due to the size of the area and for the safety of the customers with the rods being used. Please take into consideration the hardware, rods, tackle that is always being replaced, hooks etc, in a session. Also the Barra Food. These things combined are expensive and if you would to go and buy these to go fishing yourself, you would be out of pocket a lot more. At our park, you turn up and everything is provided for your experience. $126 for 6 people is quite affordable during our current market. We are glad you all caught a Barra, normally this is an extremely challenging task in the wild so hopefully your experience will be remembered by this.
