An excellent outing with a delicious lunch
The river cruise was very relaxing and informative. Feeding the pelicans and other birds was a highlight. Our lunch was delicious with top quality prawns, cheese and cold meats. The 2 staff members were very attentive. It was so nice seeing the Tweed River from the boat. I highly recommended this outing.
Great tour, lovely staff, good food! Stunning views.
Beautiful day on the boat, staff were genuinely very lovely, super helpful and informative. Our lunches were lovely, nice variety of food on the platters and plenty of prawns! I took my mum for her 70th birthday and she thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views, the birds, the dolphins and turtles.
What you can expect
Enjoy a relaxing 3 hour scenic Tweed River cruise through sugar cane fields and sub-tropical rainforest with a scrumptious locally sourced lunch. It’s hard to imagine that an unspoilt and largely undiscovered picturesque region lies on the southern doorstep of the Gold Coast, but this is exactly what the Tweed Valley has to offer. This cruise highlights the diverse ecosystem of the Tweed Heads area (bordering the QLD and NSW states) and is the only eco-certified rainforest cruise on the Gold Coast.

Cruise and commentary were good
Cruise and commentary were good. Morning tea was nice with freshly brewed cuppas. BBQ lunch pretty ordinary, sausages cheap, steak grisly and salads were pretty tasteless. Seafood looked good and feedback from others on that was positive. Overall a pleasant experience.
