The Crew were wonderful. The trip up the river was amazing. We had beautiful weather, saw dolphins. The morning tea and lunch were excellent. We had chosen the prawn platter. Biggest The prawns we have ever had, awesome. We had a great day and had fun feeding the birds. Crew were very informative on the history of the area and the female crew member was so engaging with us all. New Zealand 30/5/24

Must do

What a great experience, any tourists must do at Northern Rivers trip! Tweed River is stunning. Cheerful staff, clean service. Kids get bored though. Might have to carry something to keep them busy.
