Top The Tweed How to Get Around

A great way to explore the Tweed River—and discover more about the fish, mud-crabs, yabbies, and pelicans who call it home—this family-friendly boat trip is perfect for learning more about the local waterways and their ecosystems. You’ll also cruise across the Terranora Lakes, head out to the sandbanks to try your hand at pumping yabbies, and marvel at huge pelicans during pelican-feeding time on the banks of the river.

Cruise along the Tweed River to the rainforest on this half-day scenic boat trip with morning tea and lunch. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins as you start your trip upriver, passing by islands and sandbanks. Continue your journey through the Northern Rivers region up to Stotts Island Nature Reserve and enjoy incredible views of birds of prey and pelicans, along with an informative and entertaining commentary from your captain.

On this family-friendly tour of a 200-acre commercial fruit plantation you’ll learn how tropical fruits grow, how they’re harvested and planted, and, most importantly, how they taste. Enjoy a fully guided plantation safari, tasting show, wildlife-spotting cruise, fauna park, and Aussie bush tucker experience. Shop for more frit, juices, ice-creams, and other snacks at the on-site cafe.

Relax and enjoy yourself on the Tweed River with friends and family with this barbeque boat hire service.

With luck, you will also spot stingrays, dolphins and turtles.

Your Sunset Cruise supports local musicians and bands. As we cruise through the Tweed River you can enjoy the sunset and live music all with an ice cold drink from the fully licensed bar.
