Overview

When demolishing a crustacean-based feast, you come armed with mallets, claw crackers, picks and knives, so it's no surprise catching sea crawlers is a similarly wild ride. The Catch a Crab Tour sets sail on the Tweed River. Deck mates learn how to snare live crabs — spanner, mud and sand crabs are the seasonal bounty here — as well as pump yabbies out of the sand by hand and cast lines for fish.

Along the way, you'll also view local oyster farms and meet resident pelicans keen for a feed. Morning tea is included in the $75 tour fee, but if you want to taste the shellfish you nabbed on the two-hour trip, you'll need to book lunch ashore at The Oyster Shed.
