Arnhem Land Coastal Camp

Location​

Journey into the Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and experience our fishing hunting and birding tours. View the white sandy beaches, rugged ranges, coral reefs, mangroves, and paperbark swamps. Stay in their luxurious coastal lodges built especially for your comfort and surround yourself by nature and wildlife including sensational views overlooking Blue Mud Bay, Trepang Bay, Popham Bay and the pristine waters of Cobourg Marine Sanctuary Park. 

Tailor Your Experience All guests have the opportunity to book tailored sport fishing tours, trophy hunting tours, cultural tours and birding packages based on specific interests. “Guides are local and know their area very well. The reef is a stone’s throw from the camp and even comes right up into the estuaries. We caught barra and coral trout in one spot “amazing”. Turtles and dugong found throughout the bay, pigs, and banteng within walking distance from the camp. The fish and wild game was in abundance. I haven’t found a place like this anywhere else in Australia. I rate it as good as my African Safaris.

For those looking for that something different to typical barra lodge location and price, this is the perfect spot. 

Location Species  

Barramundi,  The Hollywood of Australian sportfish the Barramundi goes from being a great sports fish to one of the best once it gets into the 80cm range. Arnhemland has some of the best barramundi fishing on this earth and the Arnhemland Coastal Camp is perfectly located to take advantage of this barra fishing.   

Mangrove Jack,  how exciting is it when you get smashed by a jack as it heads back into its snag. Just think how good chasing Jacks on the reef!

Black Jewfish,  Pound for pound Black Jewfish smash just about any fishing out of the river!

Queenfish,  the Cirque du Soleil performer of the sports fishing world.  

Threadfin Salmon,  nothing like their northern hemisphere namesake these fish are aggressive and fish as hard as any tropical superstar.   

Fingermark,  much like their cousin the mangrove jack

GT (Giant Trevally), GT are also been referred to as being the gangsters of the reef.

No person ever tangled with the 40+ kilogram fish and then immediately cast again.
