Overview:
Half Day Tour
Journey by kayak across the tranquil blue waters of the Gold Coast to Wavebreak Island and South Stradbroke Island.
Explore the unique coastal eco system on land and sea.
Encounter wildlife - dolphins, stingrays, reptiles, wallabies, native birds and colourful sub-tropical fish
Connect with the land and its people with indigenous guides
Breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the wonderful scenery as your guided kayak group paddles a short way across the calm blue water to Wavebreak Island. Marvel at the array of sea-life - dolphins, stingray and birdlife you may encounter along the way.
Next, a hearty appetite is rewarded with morning (or afternoon) tea on the beach - fresh fruit and tasty damper bread served with traditional fruit jam and billy tea, whilst your guide shares ancient stories about the island.
Now it's time to immerse yourself in the warm waters, snorkel, feed the sub-tropical fish, swim, or soak up the sun from the golden shoreline of South Stradbroke Island - the choice is yours.
Your guide will help you discover how to collect bush tucker as he paints a picture of the aboriginals, land and wildlife as it has been over thousands of years.
Now it's time to explore with your guide as he points out the Golden Swamp wallabies - unique to this island and other wildlife you encounter along the way.
The paddle home, although just 30 minutes, provides the time to reflect on this awesome adventure and your newfound insight into an ancient culture.
