5.00We had the most fabulous day, all the crew were friendly and skipper Dave very informative! He obviously loves his job and shares his enthusiasm and knowledge about the river and the native animals. All the equipment was of an excellent standard and the fish and chips were delicious:)
Great tour and lunch!

5.00Great tour. Enjoy catching crabs and fishing. Yabbies not easy to catch. Lunch is GREAT. Minor points. 1. The road is small with no sign, not easy to find. 2. The gathering point is in NSW. The gathering time is 930am. but they mean 930am in Queensland (which is equivalent to NSW 1030am because of daylight saving). 3. Good if the tour can tell participants to expect to step into the water. I saw some participants didn't know that and wear long pants.
Great for a gift

5.00This is the 3rd time we have done the tour. It was fun and even though the weather wasn't great we still had a good time. We had an issue with a booking we made and they helped us out which we were very greatful for.
The tour that never happened.

1.00I have no issue with catch a crab but Viator allowed us to book a date with them which didn’t exist. Hence we planned this as an activity for one day if our trip and it was a waste of time. I’ve no doubt I’ll get a refund at some point but the whole thing was not good. Turned up to find there was no tour. Just an apologetic guy who was the son of the owner. Clearly wasn’t his fault.
