Very great program, full of highlights and no boring moments. Pumping yappies - will get wet to waist or thigh level so prepare spare clothes. Crab catching- safe and calm, just pull up the cage already dropped into river one night before; anyway our boy (5 yr) still enjoyed pulling the cage a lot. Fishing - the fish is quite hard to catch, in our tour we had around 20 people and only 3 caught the fish; but a lot of bites, so do enjoy the hoping moments:) Lunch highlight is the crab! Very fresh and tasty!

We had a very fun boat ride on the tweed river

We had a very fun boat ride on the tweed river. One of the most interesting part is the use of net fishing mud crab, lunch can enjoy these spoils. There is nothing more fresher than this. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable. They even for us to pick out a big public crab. We did not drive, so after the trip, the chef took us to the bus station. Other places can be no better than this service.

The oyster farm is quite small and you could hardly found fresh oysters to purchase from the farm

The oyster farm is quite small and you could hardly found fresh oysters to purchase from the farm. The cruise was funny but if you want to catch the yabbies, you better bring your swimsuits as the water level is up to your breast that you would be all wet. Quantity of the meal was great in very large portion, we couldn't finish the fries so our kid was having fun to feed seagull with fries. Quality of crab was so-so, maybe it's not the best seasons.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience as a quick exposure to river life and wildlife encounters

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience as a quick exposure to river life and wildlife encounters. If you are expecting a very indepth fishing and crab catching experience then this is not for you. It is a very nice overview of oyster farming, yabbie, fish and crab catching. All with a lunch in the end. The seafood basket is more than sufficient unless you would like more Mudcrab. Additional oysters can also be ordered after should you decide you want something extra. We had a nice time and the experience is suitable for all ages. We ranged from age 2 to 65!

Well planned program

Well planned program! We had great fun pumping yabbies. The portion for morning tea was too little for the day. So I noticed many people did not have any bite (including myself). The lunch at Oyster Bay was yummilicous!!

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. We really enjoyed this tour especially, yubbie pumping. It was a really unique experience. Fishing using yubbies which we took was a nice idea! We'd love to try this tour again. :)
