“All went as expected, so no recommendations needed. Most enjoyable and relaxing.”
Learn to surf at Surfers Paradise with qualified instructors, soft boards, safety tips, and a strong chance of standing up in two hours.
“Our favourite experience whilst travelling the east coast!! Wow!! Kal was an amazing instructor, making sure we had fun and made sure we felt confident in the water. Kal was super helpful and would watch us in the water and give us some feedback. I’m quite nervous in the water but the sea was beautiful and I felt completely safe. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and we would definitely recommend this to anyone!!”

Review of Sydney’s 2-hour express whale cruise from Circular Quay, with fast access to open water, viewing decks, tips, value, and whale guarantee.
“A great experience. We had whales come right next to the boat for around 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend. You also get a great view of the harbour bridge and opera house”
Learn to surf in Byron Bay with small groups, warm wetsuits, local instructors, safety coaching, and a real chance to stand up.
“The instructors were so patient with me despite the fact I was useless! They got me standing for a few seconds which quite frankly is unbelievable. Be prepared to be exhausted afterwards”
Learn to surf at Noosa Heads with patient instructors, soft-top boards, warm water, and two hours of beginner-friendly coaching.
“10/10, the lesson was amazing and would definitely recommend! My instructor George was really friendly and chill, and had a great way of explaining everything. I've never surfed before, but with George's guide, I was quickly catching the waves and standing up for 10 seconds! It has been one of my favourite activities I've done in Noosa, and I can't recommend it enough!”

“Did exactly as it said, enjoyed a lovely sunset with great views & wine.”
Cruise from Fremantle on a spacious catamaran, with expert commentary, warm seating, and strong chances of seeing humpback whales.
“Knowledgeable staff who went above and beyond. They brought my son to the front of the boat to be able to see the whales and really made him have the best experience. I would 100% do this again.”
Ride 12 km through Brisbane on a small-group Segway tour, passing South Bank, city gardens, bridges and river views with local guides.
