- Georgiebygeorge0 contributionsKayaking in CaloundraA lovely place to Kayak. The gear was good quality and the people friendly. I would definitely recommend this as a great, fun experience!Written 22 August 2024
- Miryam_Z1110 contributionsGreat outdoor funCarl 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.Written 28 December 2023

- darrelll2250 contributionsWe didn’t fall offHad 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.Written 10 July 2023
- Explorer4412920 contributionsBrilliant 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.Written 4 April 2023

- Janine F0 contributionsFirst 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!Written 10 January 2023

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!!!!!

Rented 2 double kayaks for2 hrs. The rental price was more than fair. Carl & wife very easygoing and friendly. Took time to explain the area to us and provided equipment in very good condition. Would highly recommend Golden Beach Hire for your short term adventure.

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.

Of course, but it is always better to call first to be sure if availability and discuss the wind and tides.
