Brilliant fun even for novices! Fantastic way to start the day. - We did this SUP tour on our first morning on the Gold Coast. We attended with 2 teens. None of us had ever done SUP before but we all got the hang of it quickly. We had 2 friendly guides who showed us the ropes and we were soon paddling down the waterways. It was the perfect way to start the day as we did a 9am tour. The water was lovely and falling off the board was a welcome reprieve from the sun! All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it as a great activity. We can’t wait to try it again.

A great family experience - Highly recommended! Our guide Lynda was very patient and knowledgeable. She, and Izzy, we’re great with our family in teaching and making sure we all had a memorable day. Boards were chosen for our abilities. The waterway views were scenic and we stopped to see bird life which was really interesting. All in all a great experience and really worth doing!

Paradise SUP Tour - Fabulous! - We had a great time out with Linda on the Paradise SUP tour. We weren't complete beginners, but still had a lot to learn. Linda helped us overcome our trepidations about wind, wakes and weather. We finetuned our existing skills and learned some new tricks! Linda is a great tour guide as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and can't wait to explore the area again. Would highly recommend this whether you are a beginner or more advanced.

Amazing SUP tour! - My partner and I received the 2 hour tour as a gift, and it was an amazing time! We both had no prior experience at SUP, but our wonderful and ever encouraging instructor Linda helped us get up and paddling in no time. As the tour went on we felt more comfortable and confident, even getting in to a surfy stance by the end! Had a lovely stroll through the park at Macintosh and Linda helped us to spot a lot of beautiful native bird life. If you’ve ever thought about giving paddle boarding a go, head on down to see Linda for a wonderful lesson and tour!

Stand up paddle boarding - This was our first time on stand up paddle and we loved it. Our tour guide Sim was amazing. She gave us lots of tips which helped a lot. The views were breathtaking and it ended up been a lot easier than we thought. Sim took lot’s of lovely photos so we will always have those memories. Thank you so much. We will definitely go back again!!!! Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful Time Learning How to Stand Up Paddle Board - We did the 2 hour Stand Up Paddle tour and had a great time. This was the first time I have SUP'd and love it. Felt well looked after (as I am not young anymore) and felt the instruction and guidance was great. By the end, I felt very comfortable and confident. Great tour, lots of instruction and practice, kept safe and supported the whole time and the guide catered to my ability even with some young ones on the tour. Highly recommend it and "just do it"! Ticked off the bucket list, but think I will be back for more.
