Excellent tour, fun for the whole family. Teenagers, little kids and oldies - everyone had a great time. Lots of activities, interesting educational talk, and a safe boat. No one will get seasick as it moves very slowly on calm water.

Great 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.

This 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.

one of the best tours in tweed heads with lots of activities including river cruise, fishing, catching a crab, feeding the fish, pumping etc. Overall a very good 2-3 hrs trip must do when visiting gold coast. Captian Dave and his brother's oyester food is very tasty.

I was unsure if the kids would have loved this but they really enjoyed it. It was a great way to keep the family entertained and learn about crabs, we all enjoyed it. The seafood lunch was also awesome, great atmosphere and really lovely people, everyone was nice, excellent service.

My first trip with Catch A Crab happened in 2013 with my father-in-law and mother-in-law. My father-in-law passed away few years ago, I joined the trip again in Nov 2024 and this trip bought back a lot of memories of him and the scene was just like it was happened in yesterday. Thanks Catch a Crab!
