      Kayaking in Caloundra
      A lovely place to Kayak. The gear was good quality and the people friendly. I would definitely recommend this as a great, fun experience!

      Great outdoor fun
      Carl and team were friendly and helped get us ready and informed as quickly as possible so we could make best use of our time. The kayaks were great fun! My 11 yr old daughter could manage a single kayak across the lagoon to the sandy island, and an hour leaves time to enjoy a leisurely paddle or a more active exploration of the shallows if wanted. Our party of 5 had lots of fun on the water spotting wildlife with a swim afterwards and would do it again. Carl was also attentive when my son hurt his foot.

      Exceptional kayak experience
      Amazing views while we paddled around, found a little beach to pull up on and set up a picnic. Beautiful blue waters to go swimming

      We didn’t fall off
      Had a great 1 hr SUP. My wife and I had never tried previously so don’t let that put you off having a go. A quick few minutes explaining what to do and off we went. Managed not to fall off so that was a positive. Nice quiet location and plenty of shallow water for you to practice in.

      Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyed it !! 😀
      2 adults and 2 small kids (4 and 7). Carl and Nicky were super friendly and patient as this was our first time doing SUP. It was a great experience and we will be doing more of this in the near future. We all enjoyed it and the older one had a go at it. She loved it and keen to try it again. Will highly recommend them.

      First time SUP - loved it!
      This was our first time SUP-ing and we loved it! Carl gave us a helpful and quick instructional session and we were underway after that. Even though the forecast was overcast with a little drizzle, this made for the perfect experience. The water was calm and glassy (easy conditions to work out where our balance was on the boards) and there were no shadows to worry about when taking photos when we stopped on the sand bar. Booking process was quick and easy. An excellent experience all around!

      Friendly and helpful service
      We came unprepared, but it wasn’t a problem, we were lent a dry bag and waterproof watch free of charge. Friendly service, informative, helpful. Suggested other places to visit in the area. Gave great instruction before we set off and even stayed to check we reached the island. Cant recommend enough!

      Grabbed a last minute 1-hour catamaran hire. Really friendly guys happy to give a quick lesson before setting out for some great fun in Pumiceston Passage. Great fun, reasonably priced. Make sure to get these guys, other hire companies in the area aren’t nearly as competitive or helpful.

    Excellent local kayak hire. We had booked for the previous day but the owners recommended coming back today for a lot less wind and a much better time. They were spot on and we had an awesome time paddling over to Bribie and back again. Strongly recommend A+++

    Kayaks for one hour.....Christmas present to my son and girlfriend, but I also ended up going! Lol. Given great advice as to where to paddle. Loved the walk on Bribie Island looking back at Bullcock Beach. Low tide was great as we can also walk on the sand bars. We were also given a waterproof watch so we could keep an eye on the time!
    Highly recommended!!!!!

    We had a great time kayaking for two hours in Pumicestone Passage. It was far easier than we thought as we stopped along the way on the beaches for little rests. Views were beautiful and the operator gave us good instructions. Will definitely do this again!

    We hired two single kayaks, and received excellent advice on the best route to take to visit a Bribie a Island. This made the trip so easy and pleasurable. We saw lots of birds and enjoyed a really easy paddle using the tide and the route that Carl had explained. It was relaxing and fun . We hired the kayaks for two hours which meant we could explore quite a lot, and go ashore and walk to the ocean side of Bribie Island. I will definitely hire from them again.The prices were reasonable. I recommend kayaks with back rests.
