Tour Business and Ferry Service

Torres Strait Tours provides critical transport services from Thursday Island to Horn Island and Horn Island Airport. The company operates a ferry service between Thursday and Horn Islands, where the region's airport is located, providing a crucial link for flights from the region to the main centres in mainland Australia. The business has been operating for over twenty-eight years.

Scheduled ferry services between Thursday Island and Horn Island are provided 7 days a week. The business also provides the school ferry service from Thursday Island to Hammond Island and a charter water taxi service. There has been a recent increase in demand for freight services.

The principal place of business is located at Hocking Point Victoria Parade, Thursday Island. The Torres Strait region is predominantly an island community spread over an area approaching the size of Tasmania.

The business provides critical services for the transfer of people and freight within the Torres Strait group of Islands and is currently the only significant operator in the marketplace. The business has two main business customers for passengers: Trans Link and the Queensland Government's public transit agency, for the ongoing provision of the school ferry service from Thursday Island to Hammond Island. All freight companies which distribute freight out of the Horn Island airport use the services of the business.

This is a rare opportunity to work and live in the pristine Torres Strait, enjoying great fishing, diving and unspoilt beauty of the islands and local culture.
