• 5Kiddo wants to go fishing ... do this first!

  Great trip for the family; easy to corral kiddos, keep them entertained, and give them the "fishing" experience that matches their tiny attention spans. Kiddo loved fishing for yabbies, loved being on the boat, and was bored fishing after 15 minutes, which was fine. Much better then paying $$$$ for a 5 hour fishing trip where he wants to bail after the first hour. Good crowd size, not too big. Staff were entertaining and attentive.

  Great experience, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Everyone got to catch a crab. No one missed out. Our host was funny, quirky and very knowledgeable. Will go again and take the grandkids.

• 5Adventure on Tweed

  Fabulous value for money tour full of excitement and new adventures for our 4 year old grand daughter. The tour provided so many opportunities to catch mud crabs and watch our grand daughter pull in a fish with cries of joy. The staff professional and gave us insights into a mud crabs life journey in the waterways of the Tweed River.. We certainly would recommend it to anyone visiting the area and enjoy an amazing feast of fresh seafood afterwards at the Oyster Shed. The perfect way to spend an autumn morning with 3 generations of family.

About Tweed Heads

Tweed Heads is a coastal town on the New South Wales side of the Queensland border, running straight into Coolangatta and backed by the Tweed Valley.

Tweed Heads stands at the mouth of the Tweed River, the northernmost town on the New South Wales coast, and it runs straight into Coolangatta, so that the state border is a line on a map more than a break in the streets. Point Danger, the headland between the two, was named by Captain Cook in 1770 for the reefs offshore, and a lighthouse and a memorial stand there.
