Our Story

The history of Tweed Eco Cruises

Ahoy, Kylie here! 


Welcome aboard Tweed Eco Cruises (TEC)! 

Our journey began back in 1988 with the Golden Swan (built in 1972). Local surfer Errol Wright and his wife Lyn took the helm, with my sister Miranda and me along for the ride, learning the ropes from day one. 

When Errol and Lyn retired in 2011, I took the wheel and set a course for Tweed Eco Cruises, always keeping our community and environment close to our hearts. 

Eco-tourism is at the core of what we do. As leaders in the industry, we’re not just cruising the river; we’re inspiring and supporting other local businesses to help protect and promote our stunning natural environment. Proudly Eco-Accredited, we’re committed to sustainability and always striving for a greener future. Want to learn more about our eco practices? Click here! 

From our humble beginnings with just one boat and two crew members, TEC has grown into the region's go-to eco-tour operator. We now have a fleet of four vessels, all with local crew who know the Tweed Valley like the back of their hands. 

The Tweed Valley is an extraordinary natural amphitheatre, ranked alongside the Daintree and Kakadu as one of Australia's most bio-diverse regions. We’re so lucky to call this beautiful place home, with its perfect blend of river, mountains, and beaches. 

When you cruise with us, you’re: 
  • Supporting local businesses
  • Experiencing Australia's natural wonders
  • Minimising your environmental impact

We can’t wait to have you onboard soon!
 
Cheers, Kylie
