Great Day Out With Captain Dave and Tara. Very knowledgeable and helpful learnt a lot about Mud Crabs and Oysters and Other Marine Species In the Tweed River. Highly recommended for family trip holiday and finish it off with a delicious seafood meal with mud crabs and oysters.

Fun place to do some activities and defintiely kids friendly. We were pulling out crab trap, bird feeding, catching yabbie, fishing (despite got none) and a bit of crab knowledge from the team. I would recommend you to purchase the lunch too. Especially if you enjoy crab. They serve you a freshly cooked seafood and I absolutely enjoy the delicacy. Another note is, if you afraid of motion sickness, the boat is running on river that has no wave, I am a bit sensitive with motion, but felt nothing while I was on board.

This might be the best trip of my journey. The whole trip was about two and a half hours. Each activity was very enjoyable, and the captain was very handsome and humorous, the assistant was stunningly beautiful. The only downside was that the fishing time was a bit short. Nevertheless, I highly recommend everyone to come here and enjoy an unforgettable and wonderful experience. P.S. It seems that your official Instagram account was broken. In that case, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share the Instagram account of the captain and the assistant. I'd love to connect with them directly and continue following their journeys. Thank you in advance!"

Very great experience. Catch a crab was very unique and special. Booking in advance is a must. Main focus was to catch a crab. Pumping yabbis and oyster farm visit was depend on tide condition. This round we missed yabbies and oyster farm. But pulling the crab trap out of water and saw the crabs trapped inside the trap was eye opener. Listened to commentary about oyster, crab and fishing was interesting. The only cons is the transport. Coming from gold coast surfers paradise must booking with uber about AUD60 per way for 40 minutes. But return trip was very challenging. No uber want to take us from this remote location. There was a bus station in the entrance road of catch a crab tour but the bus only operate one to 2 trip per day. End up We need to walk 1km to nearest bus stop and take a 601 bus to nearest city then take another bus 700 to broadbeach South station. The return trip took us 2 and a half hours include walking, waiting time, transit and bus duration.

Worth the visit. Managed to catch crab, yuppies and fish. Fed the pelicans, birds and fishes. End the tour with a seafood platter and fresh Sydney rock oysters. The timing is Queensland time 9:30am or New South Wales time 10:30am. We thought it was 9:30am NSW time and arrived 1 hour too early!
