Experience Oz transaction went well. The tour was very good but a little bit too short. Yabby time was super fun

My whole family loves the tour and wish it can go longer. Kids love yabby pumping but had too little time on that. The whole tour didn't focus on catching a crab. It had a lot of fun facts and activities. We were in the tour twenty years ago and joined again now with young kids. Still amazing and the facilities are super clean. Love it

Very great program

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.
