About Town of 1770

The Town of 1770, or as the locals affectionately call it, ‘Seventeen Seventy,’ is a hidden gem on Queensland’s coast, known for its stunning natural beauty, rich history, and close proximity to the Great Barrier Reef.

In 1770, Lieutenant James Cook and his crew aboard the HM Bark Endeavour made their first landing on the southern coast of New South Wales. As Cook explored further north, they arrived at the eastern coastline of what is now Queensland. Here, they became the first Europeans to set foot on the region’s shores. This led to the town being named 1770 in honour of this momentous occasion.

Today, Seventeen Seventy is a favourite destination for travellers, especially those drawn to outdoor adventures. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, from fishing, boating, and kayaking to swimming in the pristine waters. This charming village is the gateway to the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, making it a top spot for snorkelling, diving, and, of course, cruising.

Whether you're seeking a relaxing day on the water, a close encounter with marine life, or a unique way to explore the natural wonders of this region, our town of 1770 cruises are the best way to immerse yourself in the magic of Seventeen Seventy. Pick your adventure and get ready for an unforgettable time!
