About this activity

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.
