A great day on the Tweed River - It was a wonderful experience seeing beautiful native bird life and rainforest as well as a great commentary from Jonathan about the impact of both indigenous and European settlement on the river. The food was excellent and the crew were happy and approachable. A great way to learn more about the Tweed area and to do it in such a relaxing way.

A great day on the river. We scored it 10/10 - The crew were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The lunch was delicious and was served at an appropriate time. We took some great photos and will recommend this cruise to our friends. We appreciated the detour to watch some dolphins that the captain spotted.
