Gold Coast Kayaking & Snorkeling Tour

We met by the side of the road. Several companies had canoes loaded and were parked on the street, ready to go, so I showed my Klook reservation screen and asked around to see if it was their tour. Since the map location was approximate, I recommend actively asking any car with canoes loaded. The tour started at 7:30 AM, and they were there promptly before the scheduled time and called out my reservation name. It's a little nerve-wracking to meet the guide, but it's easy to find them, so please head there with confidence. Also, in my case, the day before, I received a message from the guide via Gmail suggesting that since the weather wasn't looking good, I should change my 10:30 AM start time to 7:30 AM. They also told me that snorkeling would offer a clearer view in the morning. Although I was worried about waking up early, I changed it because I wanted to see the beautiful ocean. I was touched by how kind they were to proactively contact me based on the weather. This email exchange made me feel confident that I would enjoy myself at the location. Four women gathered, and I rode in a canoe with one other person, while the other two rode in single canoes. They asked if I preferred a single or a pair, and if it was my first time, and then paired us up accordingly, which was great. They explained the photo route and the flow of the activity, so even if my English wasn't perfect, I understood everything without any problems. Once we started, it was a lot of fun, and the guide explained about the birds and shared various stories. They also took photos while we were canoeing, which created lifelong memories. They lent us waterproof backpacks, wetsuits, and snorkels. I definitely think a towel and swimsuit are essential. Also, there are no changing facilities, so I recommend wearing your swimsuit beforehand. We saw many beautiful fish in the ocean. Those near the rocks and those in slightly deeper areas were truly beautiful. Other companies were also snorkeling in the same area, and there were boats in slightly deeper waters, but we enjoyed it without any issues. This is definitely one of the activities I will do again when I come to the Gold Coast.

When you meet at the meeting point, you can leave your luggage in a trailer (small van) and will be given a waterproof bag to put important items, snacks, water, etc. (It is a waterproof bag that rolls up and fastens with a belt.) Then, we give each person a life jacket and walk to the kayak boat. We will briefly teach you how to row, and then go kayaking to the island. It's not difficult, but your arms may hurt a little. It's safe because the water isn't that deep. After arriving at the island, we walk a short distance to the point and go to the snorkeling site. They give you 40 minutes of snorkeling time, but it's not deep so even people who can't swim can do it. It's shallow, so the water isn't very clear, but there are so many fish that you can see them all. (It's not as much snorkeling as Bohol.) You can come out and have water and simple snacks such as chocolate cookies or fruit. After finishing, kayak again and return to the original location. During this entire process, he takes pictures and posts them right away on Facebook, so if anyone wants to take pictures, here are them! I hope you leave a lot behind while doing it. I was worried because I'm afraid of water, but it was safe and the water wasn't too deep, so I enjoyed it comfortably. There were many people who came with young children. It's worth enjoying just to make memories. Oh, and be sure to apply plenty of sunscreen~~~~

It rained a lot in the morning, but it went ahead without being canceled, and fortunately, the rain gradually stopped, which was good. It was hard to row the kayak with my 11-year-old daughter, but the guide pulled her and took care of her until the end. There were a lot of fish in the snorkel, but there was a lot of sand, so the water was cloudy and hard to see, and there weren't many different types of fish. The guides were very concerned about safety, and it was nice that they provided simple fruits and snacks as snacks. It lasts about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I recommend it.

I really enjoyed the trip. The canoeing time was very long and comfortable. The scenery was very good. You could also enjoy the handsome guys and girls sunbathing on the beach and on the yacht. After the kayaking, you had enough time to take photos and eat snacks and fruits. There was a fish market near the end of the activity. You can buy Moreton Bay Bug which is delicious

it‘s an awesome experience to paddle a canoe. The staffs are friendly and willing to give lessons for newbies. The water is too cold due to winter but hot chocolate they share save the day. Great and recommended experience! If there‘s facility to change wet clothes afterwards, everything will be perfect.

The kayaking and snorkelling was really awesome! Was able to fit 3 pax in one kayak as my son is still small. Made a pit stop on a dry land and caught a glimpse of many little crabs. They manage to prepare some snacks too after snorkelling. Worth the experience!

The whole 2.5 hour trip was great! Only AUD69 pp you get to experience kayaking and snorkeling with all the equipment provided - definitely worth it! The tour guides are all very friendly and guiding us through the tour. Something you must join in your Gold Coast trip.

The canoeing and snorkeling were very fulfilling. I was also grateful for the snacks after snorkeling. I thought I could do a single-seater canoe with just one person, but unfortunately I had to share it with another person due to the number of boats and preparation.

The staff are very friendly and will pay attention to the participants' movements to provide assistance at any time, and will take pictures for us while kayaking and snorkeling. Even if you don't know how to kayak and snorkel, you can still participate in the activities and enjoy it. Recommended!

What a great experience, trying something new with the kids (mine were older 12+). Kayaking was just long enough to feel like a good challenge and triumphantly tired at the end. It was our first time snorkeling for most of us; the guides were helpful and this was a shallow and easy location with lots of fish to see. The water was a comfortable temperature. The guide Nelson was helpful and made us feel confident that we could do it! Some light snacks and fruit were provided midway through. Afterwards we went to Charis Restaurant about 1 km down the road to rinse off and change, watch the pelicans being fed, and feast on fish and chips.
