Embark on a relaxing sunset kayak adventure from Budds Beach in Surfers Paradise. Guided by friendly instructors, you’ll paddle through the tranquil waters past luxurious waterfront homes and explore hidden gems like Macintosh Island. Get up close with local wildlife, including peacocks, and take in the breathtaking skyline of Surfers Paradise as it lights up at dusk. This beginner-friendly tour includes all equipment and offers a peaceful, scenic way to experience the Gold Coast from the water. Start times vary by season.
The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the area, especially since they were mostly backpackers from overseas. It was a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere and great value for the personable touch put on the whole experience! Will definitely be back again!
Mark was a great guide, he gave us a quick lesson about how to kayak and kept us engaged and encouraged throughout the trip. We had perfect weather to watch the sunset as we returned to base. There was a bit of confusion about the start time but we managed to get it sorted.
The tour departs from River Drive in Budds Beach, Gold Coast, in front of Bubbles Cafe

The guides were knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. They gave us a tutorial and some tips on how to row the kayak properly. They also took us to Macintosh Island where we saw some wildlife and nice peacocks.
Pete was a great guide. The instructions at the start was clear and he was very kind to help us keep our belongings at his place before we started kayaking. Best activity I have done in Gold Coast on my trip as the sunset was glorious. There’s just something about watching the sunset on the water that is therapeutic. It was a little of a upper body workout but the views were worth it. Highly recommend this activity to anyone who wants to do an outdoor activity without going out far.
