Something different in a consumption oriented holiday destination

Review of: Gold Coast Catch a Crab Tour with Optional Seafood Lunch

Wonderful Trip!

Had a great time pumping yabbies, hauling up the crab traps, fishing and feeding pelicans. A good opportunity to get close to nature and the kids learnt so much from the crew. Excellent experience!
