Grab a drink from the vessel’s fully-licensed bar or simply take in views of the glimmering bay while hearing of the area’s fascinating history. One of the St Helena Theatre Troupe’s multi-skilled performers will accompany Groupies on the history adventure, which covers the Aboriginal beginnings to the 19th century prison settlement. Explore the island’s maximum security prison before enjoying a picnic lunch in the Superintendent’s Gardens. The tour takes approximately five hours and departs from William Gunn Jetty on Wednesday and Sunday.

St Helena Island

St Helena Island opens passengers’ eyes to colonial Queensland’s tortured souls with a sense of understanding, adventure and a good dash of humour – just the way the original larrikins would have liked it. Educational and historical tours of the island have been operating since 1982. The cruise company, Cat O Nine Tails, established the St Helena Theatre Troupe in 1997. The talented group of actors and singers have been trained in the island’s history and bring it to life with drama performances. Cat O Nine Tails is also responsible for organising themed events and performing arts festivals on the island.
