Noosa Surf Coach and Guide
Please enquire before booking. My goal is for you to have an excellent surfing experience, whether it's your first time surfing or you are trying to advance your skills. We will most likely meet at Noosa River Mouth. Alternately, I will contact you with the location that will be best on that day. From there we will collect the surfboards I provide for you and walk to the surf location that I believe will be best suited to your ability and the conditions on the day. Noosa has multiple bays offering a very diverse group of waves. Each wave breaks differently. There are also many other great surfing locations on the Sunshine Coast if you are interested. For the first 10- 30 minutes we’ll be training on the beach, depending on your ability. Making sure that you have the correct technique and body position on the surfboard before trying in the water. The next hour will be in the water, catching waves and getting feedback with my assistance. This experience is unique as we can change location to find the best waves for you. Small group sizes make you get much more out of the session. I can focus just on you, giving consistent, constructive feedback that adheres to your specific needs.

Night Walk Cairns Botanic Gardens - Lets Go Buggin
The magic of the rainforest comes to life after dark and welcomes you with a chorus of frog croaks and the sparkling of a million eyeshines. A walking tour especially for nature enthusiasts and photographers in the heart of Cairns. Every Night Walk is different. Being in nature offers an exciting and unpredictable experience full of surprises. The tour will introduce you to the much-loved White-lipped tree frogs, Northern Stony Creek frogs, and many other species of amphibians. For those who like spiders, there are many that can be seen on the tour such as Net-casting spiders, Mirror-ball Spiders, huge Orb-weavers, and Huntsmans. People not fond of spiders will be relieved to know that they are usually happily weaving their webs or sitting on tree trunks. We see an abundance of nocturnal insects like moths, crickets, beetles, and stick insects. Most of these animals only come out at night and therefore are unseen by most people. Other animals that can be seen on a Let’s Go Buggin Night Walk include Micro-bats, Papuan Frogmouths, Striped Possums, Speckled Flying Foxes, Pythons, Bandicoots, Pademelons and Echidnas. The tours offer a great opportunity for photographers who would love to just ‘go to’ that spot to capture amazing photographs of some nocturnal critters.
Rainforest and Wildlife Night Tour
Your Night Time adventure starts with pickup from your Airbnb accommodation and takes you off on an adventure to find wildlife in it’s natural habitat. Most of it doesn’t come out until after sunset so we stay out after dark to see it! We start around 1:30pm so you can have a relaxed morning and you will be back around 9:30-10:00pm. Afternoon tea and dinner will be provided so no need to worry about food. We get to see some very rare animals, like Platypus and Tree Kangaroos, and the region we visit on the Atherton Tablelands is a beautiful place. It is close to Cairns so drive times are short. We visit several areas too so you get to see different places. We do spend a few hours in the afternoon to see the Rainforest but it really comes to life when the sun goes down. Being in the forest at night is an experience you will never forget. It is magical to hear and feel and see what it is like to be in there after dark. I use special lights so we can all see what’s around us and provide you with binoculars so you can get a really good view of the animals. You will come away from this with a whole new understanding of Australia’s special environments and it’s wonderful wildlife. Other things to note Bugs and mosquitos are not usually a problem. If the weather is wet I provide umbrellas. We are light hiking so comfortable shoes not sandals are required.
