A picture of the tour
From the moment you step on board you can take part in a range of activities like feeding pelicans, go yabbie pumping, fishing and trapping for crabs.

Or you can simply sitting back and enjoy the spectacular natural beauty of the tranquil and safe Terranora inlet, on the Tweed River.

This tour includes all the equipment for activities, fishing equipment and bait, morning tea of delicious cherry nut cookies, tea or coffee and optional crab lunch.

The highlight of the day for most of our guests is the thrill of pulling up the crab pot with its lively catch of the most sought after seafood delicacies - the Queensland mud crab, and other crabs in season.

Don't forget to bring shorts and towel (for yabbie pumping), your camera, and binoculars if you're a keen bird watcher!

Optional Lunch
For seafood lovers, choose from whole freshly caught mud crab OR crab platter duo of mud and spanner crab, cooked on board by your captain, served cracked with lemon wedges and dressing, and accompanied by garden salads and crusty breads.
