Byron Stand Up Paddle
After making your own way to our starting point near Brunswick Heads… Our 2 hr tour starts with a lesson; firstly on land (as most customers are new to SUP) before we head off on our relaxing adventure down the beautiful Brunswick River in the Cape Byron Marine Park. Groups are small (max 8) to be able to really soak in the peacefulness. You'll feel far away from the hustle & bustle immersed in nature. We'll share information about what we see & point out wildlife along the way. After a brief stop for some water (supplied), we head off again down the tunnel of trees where mother nature does all the talking. On our return, there'll be refreshing cold water & homemade snacks. Here, most of our customers are surprised they're still dry & comment "It was easier than I expected!" Later, we’ll send you a link to your free photos.

A serene paddle in a beautiful location. Ricky has created a perfect tour for those with no or lots of SUPing experience.

Right balance of guidance and silences. Simple understandable instructions and good vibe. Enjoyed every minute on the water. And the snacks!

Our family had an outstanding experience with Byron Standup Paddle. Ricky was exceptionally knowledgeable about the area, sharing fascinating commentary on the local wildlife and natural surroundings. He took great care of us by ensuring our safety on the water (especially as we were novices) and providing water and snacks in the middle and at the end. Definitely don’t miss if you’re visiting the area.

Excellent! Ricky is an excellent, knowledgeable guide who loves his job, and it shows! We went as a family of 5 and had just the best time paddling down the river, seeing all the things, and having Ricky tells us about the area. The break in the middle of the paddle was nice, and his homemade snacks after were just amazing. Can't recommend this enough! Don't miss out on this!

I absolutely loved the Byron SUP tour. Ricky is a friendly, knowledgeable guide who caters to all levels of experience. Ricky’s ‘SUP 101’ was excellent - a few simple, easy to understand instructions were a great start to a really memorable, enjoyable morning on the river. Homemade, healthy treats for morning tea at the end of the paddle were a delicious finishing touch. Such a great morning, I would highly recommend.

Awesome experience. So well organised with a last minute booking and great to have the wildlife pointed out. I would not have seen the kite and eagle if it weren’t for Ricky.

Ricky was absolutely amazing! My brother and I had the best time. The scenery was incredible and Ricky was the best guide taking us on a quiet and peaceful route and we also learnt about the area as well. I would highly recommend booking with Ricky for anyone in the area wanting to try it out. It was so much fun. Thank you so much!!
