5.00We had an amazing team-building experience with Seaway Kayaking Tours on the Gold Coast! Our group of 35 people was very well looked after from start to finish. The team was professional, extremely responsive, and attentive to every detail throughout the planning and the activity itself. Everything ran smoothly, and their customer service was outstanding — friendly, organized, and always willing to help. Highly recommend them for any group event or corporate activity! Thank you, Karem and Nelson.

5.00It was a great tour with Seaway Kayaking Tours. The hosts were informative, friendly and helpful with their tips in kayaking and had some fun facts at the snorkeling point. There were photos taken in between the sessions and some delicious homemade snacks were provided after swimming with the fishes.
