Overview
Paddle across the pristine Gold Coast waters for a half day of exploration, relaxation, and fun on this tour with Australian Kayaking Adventures! Spend a few hours on the tranquil island paradise of Stradbroke Island, an absolute haven for snorkelers. Also called ‘Straddie’, this 21km long sand island is largely undeveloped and car-free, perfect for those looking for some ultimate rest and relaxation. Visit Wavebreak Island as well with Australian Kayaking Adventures, where you can snorkel with hundreds of subtropical fish right off the beach.
Spot stingrays, turtles, and dolphins as you go, and listen to the friendly and knowledgeable guide sharing informative commentary about the region’s ecology and animals. Marvel at pelicans and sea eagles flying through the air, too! If you’re kayaking between May-Nov, you may even be lucky enough to see migrating whales. If you wish to see Gold Coast from above and below sea level, then this adventure is for you!
