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.

Kayak, Paddles and Safety Gear - lifejackets (optional)
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.
Duration: 1 hour: Single Kayak - rated to 120 kgs. An easy kayak to manoeuvre, locally designed and made for our smooth waterways.

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.

We hired from Bills Boats 3 days during our Caloundra stay. Great activities Pontoon Boat twice and SUP & kayak. Everyone is so pleasant, knowledgeable of the local area and welcoming. The only place we would go back to again, price wise very family friendly and value for money. The areas you can visit are stunning and should be enjoyable

We just walked up, with no plan, and rented a couple of kayaks. It was so much fun. We kayaked across the bay, went up and down the coast, saw some fish and birds, and had a great time. He provided a dry bag, the seats were comfy, and the kayaks and life jackets were in great shape. Thanks Bill, you're the best.
