St Helena Island is Queensland's most
historic island. This beautiful National Park is located four kilometres
from the mouth of the Brisbane River and for more than 60 years was home
to hundreds of society's outcasts, for here stood colonial Queensland's
foremost maximum security prison for men. The Island is rich in history
and has a fascinating and colourful past. |

A B Sea Cruises have been operating educational
and historical tours to St Helena Island since 1982. Our modern 17 metre
catamaran, Cat-O'-Nine-Tails, takes only 30 minutes
to reach the Island from Brisbane's bayside suburb of Manly. |

| Tours to the Island operate all year long and we offer Day
tours or Night Ghost tours conducted by members
of the St Helena Theatre Troupe.
These tours won the prestigious Queensland Tourism Award for Heritage
and Cultural Tourism in 1998. |
