Very interesting. Great for kids learning about how to get yabbies and fish. Very interesting talk about crabs and oysters.

Unreal day on the Catch A Crab Tour. It exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped on board, Garry and Dave made the whole thing feel personal, relaxed, and just brilliant.
They were super friendly and down to earth, always ready with answers. No question was too silly, and no detail was overlooked. Whether it was crab trapping, feeding the pelicans, or exploring the oyster farm, they guided us with lots of local knowledge. The scenery was gorgeous, and the whole experience was engaging from start to finish.
If you are after something memorable where you learn, laugh, catch crustaceans, and enjoy a cracking day on the Tweed River, this is it. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

So much fun! Lovely and welcoming crew. Knowledgeable staff and very organised tour. We added the crab tasting whilst onboard and it was delicious. Super fresh! We all had a wonderful time. A must do if you visit the Goldcoast or Brisbane. Shoutout to Mons who was outstanding on our first visit and on this tour
