Gold Coast Kayaking & Snorkelling Tour (2.5 Hours)
Description
As our guest, you’ll be warmly welcomed by fantastic and friendly guides before paddling across the beautiful Broadwater to a hidden island just minutes from the city. Along the way, we share stories of the marine life, local area, and what makes this estuary so unique. This experience is perfect for nature lovers and first-timers alike, with the chance to spot dolphins, stingrays, and a variety of seabirds. Depending on conditions, it can be physically active, so come with a spirit of adventure! At Wave Break Island, enjoy a short bushwalk and a guided snorkel over a rocky reef filled with subtropical fish. Afterwards, relax with a picnic of tasty, locally sourced snacks, a guest favourite and a rare treat on tours like this. More than just a paddle and swim, this is a Gold Coast experience designed to connect you with nature and leave you smiling.

Nelson was an amazing tour guide. He was very patient, kind and knowledgeable. He provided us thorough training before going into the activities and he is quite witty,
Nelson was a great guide!!! We had so much fun
I really like this experience, it was amazing
We had an amazing time with our guide Nelson this morning. He was super friendly, great with the kids, knowledgeable about the area and really keen to show us a great time. We would highly recommend this trip to other families.
Our family had been visiting the Gold Coast and we were looking for something fun to do and this came up. The whole experience from start to end was real beautiful. The staff who assisted and the briefings that occurred made us feel well informed. Jane our lead guide was fabulous and very knowledgeable. We started with an option to use a wetsuit, and transfer what we wanted to bring in a dry bag and after an induction we set off on the beautiful waters. Jane led and another guide hanged back to ensure the group was travelling well which made us feel safe. We disembarked and made our way through a lovely little trail before we had a snorkel. Again, Jane was great and well prepared and had photos of the area and species of fishes we could spot which the kids loved. We were also treated with some yummy snacks before heading back. It was a real lovely experience for the family and would go again! Thanks to everyone at Seaway Kayaking Tours.
My tour guide was Nelson and he was nice and just made the experience really good
Was a great day on the water with Nelson, highly recommend.
Nelson is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable. Snorkeling was fun but don’t expect crystal clear water. Even with wetsuit it was chilly in mid June. Nelson pointed out interesting animals like soldier crabs and facts about tides and local expensive efforts to protect expensive houses.
Amazing experience! The kayaking tour was fun, relaxing, and offered beautiful views of the Gold Coast waterways. The highlight of the trip was our guide, Nelson. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable throughout the tour. His enthusiasm and sense of humor made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Gold Coast. Thank you, Nelson, for making it such a memorable adventure!
The tour was awesome! Our guide was very knowledgeable. Even though the day was cloudy and with slight rain, we got the best of the experience. We highly recommend it! 🤩👍 #Tour #Guide #Experience #Recommendation
