Fun experience for the family, highly recommended.
I booked this trip mostly for the kayaking and because my kids wanted to snorkel. This experience did not disappoint. Our tour guide was fantastic and great company. We kayaked across to the island and then walked across to go snorkelling. On the way back it got a bit windy which made the return a bit more challenging but it was fun. I had my 13 year old and 8 year old with me. A nice family experience.
I had so much fun on the half-day dolphin and Straddie tour
I had so much fun on the half-day dolphin and Straddie tour. Great location, so close to Surfers Paradise, great complimentary hotel pick up, was way too easy. First time kayaking and we had a blast! Great snorkelling fun and great to see the wallabies. Will definitely spread the word to friends :)

Helpful instructors and had a great time kayaking and snorkelling. Would definitely recommend it.
Kayak and Snorkel at Wave Break Island, Gold Coast, was a thrilling adventure that seamlessly combined excitement and relaxation. The expertly guided kayaking tour provided stunning views, while the snorkelling experience in crystal-clear waters revealed various fishes. The high-quality equipment and knowledgeable guides ensured a safe and immersive exploration of Wave Break Island's underwater wonders. Highly recommended for a memorable day of adventure and serenity.
Was an awesome experience, would definitely recommend it.
It was so much fun, meeting new people, and finding different fish in the water when snorkeling I had a blast, and the tour guides were so nice and had a lot of knowledge, was nice to learn new things and just a lot of fun all round would definitely go again.
