Fun for the whole family, you can watch or be involved. - Our whole family enjoyed Eric talking about crab catching, yabby pumping, pelican feeding & fishing. Which we all experienced. 10am-12noon NSW time, we caught a 16 minute bus ride to Kennedy road. Heads up you need cash for bus, as party qld/ NSW border we came from Coolangatta. Ate oysters & fresh crab. 9 yr old ate the fruit loaf & bread. We brought with us some crackers & suggest wearing swimmers & thongs. Crabs lay 1-8 million eggs etc we all loved the 2 hrs for different reasons.

A 5 star tour for families. - Really great tour. 2hrs just right for group of 6 across 3 generations. Relaxing for the oldies and kept the kids busy and entertained. They fit a lot into 2hrs!

Enjoyable, easy going morning - This was an easy going morning. Fun for all ages. Mixture of yabby catching, pulling up some crab nets and fishing. Alongside some some Education. We got to sample the crabs which we caught which was a bonus.

Fresh crab and seafood - what is there not to like! - This is an excellent value for money tour that highlights the best of the tweed in a relaxed environment. We boarded the boat and were presented with a platter of fresh crabs, oysters, prawns and fresh fruit. Then experienced feeding pelicans, searching for yabbies with the afternoon completed by a spot of fishing. Eric was a source of great knowledge and we would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a casual and funfilled afternoon.

Disappointed - Unfortunately it was disappointing and not up to the standard of last June’s (2021) cruise. It seemed to be run by different people. Last year’s day out was great and lunch was exceptional. This is why we used our Dine and Discover vouchers.
