Fantastic history about Queensland and Brisbane colonial settlement. The guys at St Helena Island Tours do an amazing job bringing the history to life. A great tourist destination and definitely worth a visit if you are in Brisbane. Great views back to the city and suburbs as well

Highly recommend the Cat o Nine Tails Cruises guided tour to St Helena Island. The guides were very informative and passionate and they knew their history of the island and the prison. Every question was answered without hesitation. They were friendly and accommodating to everyone in the group. They also have a courtesy van to help anyone who found it hard to do the walk around the island. One of the best day trips our of Brisbane!
