Wonderful tour with just the right balance of educational information and fun experiences for children and adults alike. We loved pulling in the crab pots, yabby pumping on the sandbar, fishing and enjoying the wildlife. The children have not stopped talking about it. Thanks heaps to Dave and his deckhand for your friendly good humour and sharing your knowledge of the Tweed River area. We would high recommend this tour to all ages. Great family fun.

A fun family trip. Well paced with a variety of activities. The boys enjoyed fishing, pulling up crab pots and pumping for yabbies. Eating the crabs after was a delicious way to finish the trip. Strongly recommend the otters mornay - 10/10!

Highly recommend this tour! I travelled to the GC with my parents and my two children (8 and almost 11). We all had the best fun! My parents were so impressed with the activities that were included as part of the tour and my kids had a blast. My youngest caught two fish which he was thrilled with! Pulling up the crabs in the cages was so exciting. Feeding the seagulls and catching yabbies and soldier crabs was a favourite for kids.
The tour experience was fantastic not just due to the activities, but also the staff on board. The skipper (David) was humorous and very knowledgeable. Yannika was so kind and caring towards us all, but provided such a nurturing approach to my children who she helped throughout all the activities.
We all had the best time and are so glad to have ended our Gold Coast holiday with this experience. Thanks to David, Yannika and Craig for making my dad’s birthday a memorable one!
