Ahoy and Welcome Aboard!

Awesome day on the Tweed River. Really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff - a really great experience. I’m a local and took my parents who were visiting - I learnt a lot about the area which was really cool! The local dolphins came and played off the bow of the boat - including a little baby. We had pelicans fly alongside us for ages, and saw rare eagles further down the river. Super special! The lunch was really lovely with all the local produce too. Overall a great day, would recommend and would do again 👌🏻

Tweed Eco Cruise was amazing! So relaxing, amazing food and a lovely waitress/bartender (thanks Alana). They were so accommodating from the moment we hopped on the boat. and even 24 hours later I'm still relaxed! Thanks for the amazing day out!!

38 members,family & friends from the Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch had the absolute pleasure of enjoying relaxing & enjoying a two & half hour Tweed River cruise with Tweed Eco Cruises on Wednesday the 21st of May 2025. The crew on the Golden Swan, with the skipper Eric,along with Allana & Greg, made our time cruising past Ukerebagi Island, Fingal Heads, Chinderah, plus Dodds Island & Stotts Island & truly memorable experience. Once we reached the area around Stotts Island, we were treated to a wonderful experience from Allana, who fed the numerous range of birds in the eco-friendly Tweed River area. I must also commend Eric for his detailed commentary during our Tweed River cruise, job well done 👏 It is truly amazing how the various ranges of wildlife birds go about survival in the wonderful surrounds of the Tweed River. It is definitely worth witnessing nature at its best 👌 Another highlight was seeing Mt. Warning in the distance as you cruised along the Tweed River. Mt.Warning is such an outstanding landmark in this area of NSW. We were treated to a most satisfying lunch, which included prawns straight off the trawlers, & a platter which included an assortment of freshly produced local produce. The vessel that we cruised on was the Golden Swan, a beautiful boat that dates back to 1972, was like walking down memory lane, very nostalgic. A little bit of information about Tweed Eco Cruises (TEC) is that it is a second-generation family owned & operated business with a fleet of four vessels. This family business supports Eco tourism & local suppliers. Tweed Eco Cruises is located at 2 River Terrace, Tweed Heads NSW 2485. Everyone from Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch was most impressed by the staff who made our day out on the Tweed River one of the best days. A big thank you, everyone at Tweed Eco Cruises, keep up the excellent work of suppoting Eco tourism & local suppliers.

We had such a wonderful day out on the Tweed River with Tweed River Eco Cruises. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made our group of travellers and staff feel incredibly welcome. The commentary throughout the cruise was engaging and informative, we all learned so much about the local area and its beautiful waterways. The lunch platters were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, a real treat for everyone. A special highlight for many of our travellers was getting the chance to take the wheel and have a go at driving the boat, such a thoughtful and memorable experience. Thank you for going above and beyond to make the day so enjoyable for our group. We’ll definitely be back for another cruise soon.

We had a fantastic experience on board the Tweed River cruise! The crew was friendly and attentive, and the captain's commentary was both informative and engaging, adding a lot to the journey. We loved spotting dolphins, pelicans, and other wildlife—definitely a highlight of the cruise. The food was decent, and the drinks on board were very affordable. My only suggestion would be some more upbeat tunes - there were lots of slow/sad songs and it was such a joyous trip! Overall, it was a great experience, and we’re looking forward to doing another cruise next time we’re in the area!
