Amazing Experience for beginners. Nelson was a great guide and a teacher. He taught me to Kyak and Snorkel as it was the first time for me doing both. He even helped us spot stingrays and many different kinds of birds! Would recommend to anyone visiting Gold Coast! The serene atmosphere of the tour will soothe your soul.

Amazing tour. Nelson was a super guide and showed us many fancy animals. We just missed some dolphins which followed our boats. What a pitty. Check the tides before you book. High tide is the best snorkel visibility.

Nelson was very informative and super kind, he gave us history on the island and set up a cute picnic for us. He is super sweet and helpful carrying the kayaks and keeping us safe!!

We live locally and always see these guys around so thought it would be fun to do one day. It was great value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking tour and hanging out on wave break island. The snorkeling isn’t the best there so don’t go just for that but it is a nice way to pass some time whilst hanging in the island. Staff were very friendly, informative and welcoming. Would recommend.

Fun, well organised, knowledgable guides. Nice mix of kayaking, a short walk and snorkelling/ paddling.
