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.

Tickets can be purchased before noon one day in advance, after which they are unavailable. Klook's instructions were unclear, and I arrived late. The shop is located on the right side facing the beach, next to the KFC. Two male instructors accompanied us, providing wetsuits that cover the whole body to prevent sunburn, exposing only the face and feet. They first explained surfing, then we carried the boards to the beach ourselves. There were 9 of us in total (excluding the instructors). The instructors assisted each guest in getting on the board to surf, but only 3 people were occasionally successful. Children who are small, thin, and lightweight have an advantage. They gave a final talk and shared some tips before finishing!

The meeting point is easy to access. The staff is friendly. Sunglasses are available for purchase if needed. This is recommended. The attraction was also great. Although it is a high-adrenaline excursion, you will have the opportunity to admire the scenery. During the cold season, raincoats are provided. Our captain was friendly and funny. I will be back.

A must-try in the Gold Coast! It's as thrilling as a roller coaster, but you'll get your hair soaking wet! 😆 The video is great, but you have to purchase it separately.

Thank you for guiding us in a way that even beginners could easily follow, and for giving us such a great experience. I especially appreciate the professional and friendly guidance from the Korean instructor. I almost couldn’t film due to poor GoPro battery management, but I’m very grateful to the instructor for personally filming and sharing the footage with me.

The location changed, it would have been better to be notified earlier, otherwise it wastes time looking for the event location. The activity was fun, the waves were very big, the activity was very exciting, worth signing up for.

I booked the Gold Coast crab catching tour through Klook. The tour group mainly consisted of tourists from Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan, with only a few individual travelers. The entire trip lasted two and a half hours and included feeding pelicans, retrieving crab pots, catching small creatures in the mud, and fishing. The captain was humorous and engaging, keeping everyone entertained. However, the "crab catching" simply involved pulling up a pot that I believe was pre-stocked with crabs, but it was still a very fun experience. The seafood platter I added was of average quality; the crab wasn't fresh and was clearly of inferior grade. I hope this can be improved in the future.
