Highlights

As our guest, you’ll be warmly welcomed by fantastic and friendly guides before paddling across the beautiful Broadwater to a hidden island just minutes from the city. Along the way, we share stories of the marine life, local area, and what makes this estuary so unique. This experience is perfect for nature lovers and first-timers alike, with the chance to spot dolphins, stingrays, and a variety of seabirds. Depending on conditions, it can be physically active, so come with a spirit of adventure! At Wave Break Island, enjoy a short bushwalk and a guided snorkel over a rocky reef filled with subtropical fish. Afterwards, relax with a picnic of tasty, locally sourced snacks, a guest favourite and a rare treat on tours like this. More than just a paddle and swim, this is a Gold Coast experience designed to connect you with nature and leave you smiling.

About Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is a long strip of surf beaches and high-rise towers in south-east Queensland, with rainforest hills and theme parks behind the shore.

The Gold Coast stretches along the shore between the New South Wales border and the Broadwater, a ribbon of broad, patrolled surf beaches broken by headlands. Surfers Paradise has the tallest towers and the busiest beachfront. Burleigh Heads, further south, has a forested headland park above a rocky point break, and Coolangatta and Snapper Rocks at the southern end are known for their long, well-formed waves.

Top-ranked sights in Gold Coast: Tamborine National Park, Sea World Gold Coast, Springbrook National Park.
