What you'll do
This is a spectacular way to experience the sights of Surfers Paradise from a unique water-level perspective. Gold Coasts Main River is an excellent location for new paddlers to experience kayaking for the first time, or for experienced kayakers to enjoy a stunning paddle through Surfers scenic canals and waterways under the stars. No kayaking experience is needed to enjoy the experience, as we are patient and will be with you every step of the way. Our kayaks are extremely stable and easy to operate.
Our Family Kayak experience starts at Ewan Batt Park on Paradise Waters, part of the modern Macintosh Island precinct in the heart of Surfers Paradise canal system. After a short safety briefing and paddling technique session on dry land, we set off for an exploration of the views and sights and waterfront homes and the nearby downtown towers.
After exploring some great view spots we continue our paddle back to our start point as the amazing homes lining the canals as we return and conclude the trip. What an incredible way to experience Surfers Paradise for the whole family!
Other things to note
This is not a long paddle and is a fun experience we try to facilitate but it can require some fitness if conditions are not favorable due to weather and current. We set times that suit us but we can cater to families and their availability - morning is great, dusk beautiful, nighttime is special.
