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.
