In a few minutes you can be on a deserted beach, in a National Park and standing on the 4th largest sand Island in the world! Yes, the Nth tip of Bribie Island is a stone throw away from Bills Boat Hire - and you, your family and friends can pack the picnic lunch, towels, sunscreen and be on this amazing lsland in no time at all.
Maybe you fancy a quiet paddle into the tidal lagoon where you will see upside down jelly fish, seacucumbers and stingrays. Our beautiful Pumicetone Passage is a nursery for sealife and a habitat for Migratory Shore Birds, Gulls, Terns, Pelicans and Brahminy Kites.
It is one of the most unique waterways on the Sunshine Coast and one of the most sensative shorelines on the East Coast of Australia.

When you arrive your craft will be on the beach and ready for hire. (How awesome!). Safety Gear - lifejacket is free and mandatory in Queensland. You can take the time to watch our online safety video and once you are ready to roll, we will give you the "best" advice on the day about the weather conditions (currents, tides, winds etc). Your "approximate" 5 minute paddle to the North Tip of Bribie Island awaits. Yep - it's that easy. Time for you to explore - it is a marine wonderland out there with stingrays, upside down jelly fish, sea cucumbers and lots of tiny soldier crabs, migratory shorebirds and pelicans chilling out on the sandbars. The 200 metre walk across the Island to the East Coast and Coral Sea brings its own adventure. Or maybe, you might want to find your own private beach, have that waterfront picnic and bask in the warm aquatic waters then laze on the white sandy beach. Its a dream come true and only minutes from the mainland.
You can hire a Kayak Seat onsite if you forget to book ahead.
Kayak, Paddles and Safety Gear - lifejackets (optional)
Duration: 1 hour: Single Kayak - rated to 120 kgs. An easy kayak to manoeuvre, locally designed and made for our smooth waterways.

Bills Boat, Kayak and Paddle boarding offered a fantastic experience. Rob was amenable to our timing and met us promptly on site. We did 2 hours in the kayaks which was fantastic. We would happily do it again. A couple of girls do the paddle boarding at the same time and looked really happy too. Equipment was a bit worn, but it was all high quality, safe and worked.

Upon visiting, I met Kerrie, who was friendly, professional, and laid back. I was given the run down of using single kayak and where to venture of the coast of the northern tip of Bribie Island. I navigated towards the inlet and strolled the beach at this part of Bribie Island, and had a swim before setting out again towards Golden Beach to end the one hour session. The waters are safe and pleasant at low tide, but you will have to use a bit of muscle getting back as the tides are a little stronger at this time. Overall, it was a pleasant, fun, and safe experience, which I recommend to visitors to try if they happen to be in the area. Thanks again, Kerrie, for your help, and I will definitely be coming back again someday. Mart.

We had a fantastic time in a double kayak. Kerrie set us up perfectly. The waters were great for paddling and stopping at the north point of Bribie Island. Very interesting to get up close to where the water broke through . We are so glad we did it. Thanks again.

We had a lovely time canoeing across to North Bribie Island. The inlet was nice and still and fairly shallow, perfect for beginners. We saw a stingray and some jumping fish.

Great way to explore Pumistone passage and Bribie Island. Relatively calm, safe waterway, great for all forms of water sports. Highly recommend renting a kayak or SUP off Craig and Kerry and enjoying some outdoor activities.
