"The crew were friendly, professional and very welcoming and a pleasure to meet. The Skipper will tell you the history of the junk and be sure you ask. It is fascinating. It has been lovingly restored to full health and is a beautiful vessel. The trip out on the water is a beautiful. Sit out on the deck, enjoy a drink and just relax and enjoy. This experience alone made my trip to Port Douglas worth it."

"At the last minute, I booked the sunset cruise for me and my three adult daughters. The Shaolin is a lovely boat and lounging on the front deck under the sails is the way to go. Flynn and Matty are full of info about the geography around Port Douglas. We were blessed with a beautiful sunset and the boys extended the journey so that we could see the sun drop below the mountains."
