About this experience

Enjoy a relaxing 3.5 hour scenic Tweed River cruise through sugar cane fields and sub-tropical rainforest with a scrumptious locally sourced lunch. It’s hard to imagine that an unspoilt and largely undiscovered picturesque region lies on the southern doorstep of the Gold Coast, but this is exactly what the Tweed Valley has to offer. This cruise highlights the diverse ecosystem of the Tweed Heads area (bordering the QLD and NSW states) and is the only eco-certified rainforest cruise on the Gold Coast.
