Serious and patient, very fun.
Hi there, Thank you very much for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you found our guides serious, patient, and fun that’s exactly the experience we aim to provide for all our guests. We really appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again on another adventure when you’re back on the Gold Coast.
We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Our instructors were amazing and the tour itself was really fun. The instructors sell waterproof phone cases so you can take your phone on the trip as well. Though we saw no dolphins we still had a wonderful time. We aren’t experienced in kayaking but this was still great fun and we got the hang of it almost instantly. The water was murky where we were snorkelling but regardless we had fun. We were able to see fish with good concentration. I’d recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Gold Coast and I would absolutely do it again!!!
The guides were very friendly. The kayaking experience was enjoyable, but unfortunately very short. We were very disappointed with the snorkeling — we were snorkeling literally just off the beach in about a meter of water. There was nothing to see underwater, definitely not a proper snorkeling spot, so it was very disappointing.
Hi Kalina, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m really glad to hear you found our guides friendly and enjoyed the kayaking component of the tour. I’m sorry to hear the snorkelling didn’t meet your expectations on the day. We operate in a natural marine environment, and conditions such as tides, visibility, weather, and safety considerations can sometimes influence exactly where we conduct the snorkelling activity. Our priority is always guest safety and comfort, particularly for mixed-ability groups and beginner snorkellers, which can occasionally mean using shallower entry areas. That said, many of our guests do see fish and marine life around Wave Break Island, and we understand it can be disappointing when conditions or wildlife activity vary from expectations. We appreciate your feedback regarding the duration and snorkelling experience, as it helps us continue improving how we communicate what guests can expect on the day. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to contact us directly, we’re always happy to chat.
Our kayak trip was brilliant. The instructor was friendly, funny and kept us informed and included throughout the trip. Highly recommended.
