About this experience

Join a Tweed River cruise from Tweed Heads to the Riparian Rainforest, including live commentary on local wildlife and history. Enjoy morning tea and a grazing board lunch with local delights.

What to expect

* Please note that we operate on Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)

The River & Rainforest Cruise visits the Riparian Rainforest, mangrove forests and biodiverse Stotts Island on this 3-hour experience.

As you depart, a local morning tea is served with locally grown coffee and tea.
The Captain provides entertaining commentary whilst cruising up the river, providing education and fun facts about the local area, flora, fauna and history. As we reach Stotts Island you can spot the Brahminy Kite and other birds of prey that call the region home. It is, after all, the third most biodiverse region in Australia and home to over 400 species of trees, birds and plant life!

As the vessel departs for home, you will be served a grazing board lunch platter with local delights including trawler fresh prawns, smoked and cured meats, cheeses, quiches, salad, fruits and bread. The onboard licensed bar is open for purchases too, so why not try one of our locally brewed and distilled beers or spirits. We support local as much as possible, and carefully source the majority of our products from within an 80km radius.

The picturesque views of the Border Ranges and Wollumbin (Mt Warning) set a truly special backdrop for this delightful day out on the Tweed River. The fresh air, blue waters and panoramic views will have you relaxing into nature on this not-to-be-missed day out.
