What to Expect

Jump aboard a 2.5-hour morning tea cruise on the Tweed River discovering local shipwrecks, ancient Aboriginal history, scenic views of a rich and diverse region, and the quaint town of Fingal. There is no better way to explore the off-the-beaten-track hidden gems of the Tweed Coast.

Depart at the Tweed Marina and journey through Ukerabagh Island passage and down the Tweed River whilst enjoying lively and entertaining storytelling by the traditional custodians of the land. As you cruise along the calm waters, enjoy a tasty morning tea of seasonal fruits and bush tucker tasting served with our famous native iced tea before landing at Fingal Head.

There is time to explore the quiet coastal lifestyle of the town and its local Art Gallery, Sheoak Shack, which displays the work of local artists from the surrounding area. Take a self-guided walk to Fingal headland to soak up the natural surroundings of the Tweed Coast.

Marvel at the outlook from the headland and maybe spot the resident dolphin pods which are regularly seen frolicking in the waves between the headland and Cook Island. Take in the expansive vista from Coolangatta to Kingscliff and discover the giant causeway, a unique rock formation at the headland, before you cruise back to the marina.
