      Aaron the Sandcastle master
      What a fantastic morning we had learning how to make castles and mermaid tails with Aaron . The kids loved it , the adults loved it even more. Aaron was amazing . He has such a pleasant , calm manner about him, he is really such a lovely guy doing what he loves . He showed us what to do and how to do it and made it look so easy . I would highly recommend doing a sandcastle workshop with him.

      Coolest thing to do in Noosa
      We have done it wrong all these years! In just two hours, Arron taught us all the tricks needed for making sand masterpieces. We were seven in our group, my son (11) and I, a mother with two younger kids, and a retired couple. It was hard to tell who enjoyed it the most; we were all completely absorbed with the task... A must do for all ages!

      MUST DO ACTIVITY Noosa Main Beach
      It seems a bit indulgent to pay for a lesson when there's a whole beach to just get out and practise on, but this lesson is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER. I did it with my 11 year old and we had a great time and learned the skills that will take us to Next Level Sandcastle Building. Aaron was a fantastic teacher and shared tips and tricks that will make your next creation so much more impressive. He showed as a small array of simple tools that make all the difference - and nothing special, all available very cheaply at Bunnings or Kmart. I only wish I'd done this when I was 10. 40 years wasted with incompetency!

      Fantastic morning
      My 7 year old son and I spent a really enjoyable morning learning some great skills. Highly recommended for both adults and children...it will transform the way you create sandcastles.

      Must do
      The girls just loved it! So cool to be shown another way to experience the diversity of the beautiful golden sands of Noosa beach by getting creative with Arron rather than just lying on the sand! Thanks guys, you rock.

      So much fun!
      Spent the morning learning how to make sandcastles and a dragon. Had such a fun time, Aaron was really friendly and a good teacher. Highly recommend booking in a lesson and I’d even love to do it again!

      Party Entertainment
      For my 50th I had a lunch at a Noosa beachfront restaurant. Aaron held a sandcastle masterclass with all of the kids which they absolutely loved. The parents got to relax and enjoy the day and the kids were just in front of the venue so we could keep an eye on them. With ages ranging from 5 to 14 it suited them all. Can’t recommend it enough.

      Unique holiday experience
      My 11 year old saw some of Arron’s exquisite sand castles in Noosa main beach when we arrived and was super excited to do a class with him. It was worth every cent! Arron is a excellent teacher and the kids were focused and learnt lots of tips and tricks to take their sand castle making to the next level. They stayed and elaborated on their work playing together after the class finished.

      Worth every cent!
      My 9 year old son was in heaven when he spent time with Aaron building sandcastles. He would have attended every day if he was allowed. What a great way to get the kids away from their electronics and outside working with their hands.

      Fantastic afternoon!
      We had such a great time learning about sand sculpture on the beach and were amazed at what we built! Aaron is a very patient teacher and all of the kids were completely engrossed for the entire 2 hours. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Noosa!

      Fantastic afternoon
      Really enjoyable afternoon. The kids all really loved the activity. The parents hung back and relaxed. It was nice to wander over and engage with the kids about their creation. Highly recommended!

      Loved it. A unique and amazing experience
      Kids wouldn’t stop talking about the lesson and showed everyone on the beach their creation. I think one of them wants to get a sandcastle apprenticeship. We highly recommend this amazing experience to anyone.

      A Great Morning
      Children’s comments. It was amazing! I learnt much more than I thought I would. I’ll definitely use these skills in the future.

    My 6 and 8 year old loved the sandcastle workshop!
    One of the TOP activities of their trip to Queensland.
    Worth every penny, they were fully engaged for the whole 90 mins and delighted with what they built.
    Thanks very much for a great morning.

    Before finding the listing for Sandshapers I had no idea I needed lessons would make such a difference. Thought it looked like fun so why not give it a go! Turns out everyone needs this workshop!

    Arron's knowledge was outstanding & his explanations clear and easy to follow. It's an exceptionally hands on workshop and Arron was there with us every step of the way.

    I can't begin to tell you how much fun this was plus the sense of accomplishment at the end was wonderful. We have new skills well use forever and an experience we'll be telling friends and family about for a long time.

    We'd recommend this workshop to all ages and abilities.

    What a fabulous teacher. Aaron showed us tips and tricks to give our future sandcastles that “wow” factor. We all enjoyed it so much. Today my 7 year old grandson decided he wanted to make a snake at the beach and was able to use the skills he learnt the day before. Thank you Aaron.
