Are you searching for an unforgettable experience, one that the kids won’t stop talking about? Whether you’re visiting The Tweed or the Gold Coast, our Bushtucker & Crabs Cruise is a hidden gem of an eco-tour. This hands-on adventure blends wildlife encounters, exciting activities, and fresh, locally caught mud crab and bush tucker tastings. It’s the perfect way to get the whole family outdoors, yabby pumping, crab catching, and exploring nature together!

The Tweed River isn’t just a stunning backdrop—it’s a playground for curious minds and little explorers. Sit back and cruise along the sparkling waters with a lemon myrtle tea in hand, feeling the warm sun on your face and the gentle sway of the boat beneath you. Tables will be set with local biscuits and fresh fruit for you to enjoy as we set sail.

This experience is intimate and exclusive, with our eco-explorer vessel taking a maximum of 25 guests. That means one-on-one time with our expert guide—no big crowds, just pure adventure and learning.

Get the kids (and kids at heart) out on the sandbank for some yabby pumping! Our guide will show you how to catch these little creatures, turning them into bait for the next adventure. For those brave enough, you’ll get to feed the local pelican gang—but be warned, these big birds don’t mind getting up close for breakfast!

Next up, it’s time to check the mud crab pots! Captain Eric set them the day before, so today is your chance to haul them in and see what’s inside. Will it be a giant Tweed river mud crab, or maybe even an octopus?

Watch as Captain Eric gives a fun and exciting demonstration, showing just how powerful these crabs are—strong enough to snip a carrot (or maybe even a volunteer’s finger—just kidding… or are we?)!

After all the action, it’s time to fish! Use the yabbies you caught or fresh prawns to see what you can reel in. Meanwhile, Captain Eric will be out the back, preparing the freshly caught mud crabs for you to taste. Enjoy the sweet, juicy crab meat with fresh bread and saltbush, a delicious native bush tucker ingredient.

This Easter, we’re making it even easier to bring the whole family along! Join us on board with our special family deal—2 adults & 2 kids for just $199 (1 child travels free)!
