Gold Coast Wave Break Island Kayak & Snorkel Tour

Kayak across the Broadwater
to Wave Break Island

Meet your guide at the van and trailer parked on the beach side of the road in Biggera Waters. After gearing up, you get a short safety briefing and learn the paddling basics before setting off. No previous experience is needed, so the tour suits beginners too.

Head out into the estuary and paddle past sandbanks and mangroves with views of the Gold Coast skyline. Look out for rays, soldier crabs and seabirds along the way, and reach the northern shore of Wave Break Island in about 30 minutes.

Walk across the island and hear its story

Once ashore, take a short bushwalk across the island to the snorkeling area. Along the way, your guide shares the unique story of Wave Break Island, a man-made island.

Snorkel with subtropical fish on a rocky reef

Get in the water to explore the rocky reef home to subtropical fish, or relax on the sand. Meanwhile, your guide shares marine insights and takes photos of your experience. Life jackets are worn in and on the water, so you can join even if you are not a strong swimmer.

Enjoy snacks with skyline views

After snorkeling, enjoy locally sourced snacks and fruit with views of the water and city skyline. On the paddle back to the starting point, you may spot dolphins and other marine life.

※ Wildlife lives in its natural habitat, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
※ The Broadwater is a dynamic estuary. Visibility and marine life vary with tides and conditions, and it differs from a tropical coral reef.
