- leelanandaw00poor service and not worth for the priceCharged $138 and gave us 1 kayak to share for 2 people. Probably more than half the time was spent on a small park on macintosh island. didn't help us get in and out of the kayak. not worth at all for the price.
- W7191EVtinag00Not worth the moneyThe day we went was raining. The organisers should have canceled considering the weather. Also, we were asked to carry our own kayaks across the road in which we were not provided any help for.
- H7962LUjod00Morning dolphin kayaking and snorkeling tourTotally enjoyed the whole tour. Our guide was great and really friendly. Kayaking was so much fun over calm waters and we really loved snorkeling amongst some pretty amazing and colourful fish. It was also just the right length of time at 2 - 2.5 hours. 100% recommend this tour to everyone. Jo D.
- Robert G00Great day outSteve was an absolute gent, great and fun day out. Loved his knowledge of the local plants and animals
- N6901ABmegana00Never will book again with these peopleWe booked a tour with these people and had to pay in advance. This guy Steve texted me a day before the tour and said it’s going to be cancelled due to bad weather. Told me to go on the tour another day and I said I can’t because I fly back home a day after the tour. I had to contact him to refund my money, no reply. Sent him a text and he ignored it. Then I had to chase the booking company and they said that he didn’t tell them he cancelled it so they can’t do anything. Still chasing my money. I paid for a service that you did not provide! If you cancel a tour, then refund peoples money, simple. Don’t book with these people, use another company
- Drbelk00Just do it!Had a blast with the family. Plenty of fish to snorkel with and even saw a wild wallabie. The views are amazing and the guide Steve is the best!
- 162joshual00Be prepared for it to be cancelledWe were only told the night before that the activity got cancelled. Was really looking forward to it, even prepared our gear well for it. We actually received an email a few days beforehand to inform us that the activity is confirmed and good to go. Just be prepared to be disappointed last minute, at your own risk.
- O5385DSalexr00Great morning.We took our 7 year old with no prior kayaking experience. The 3 person kayak made the trip easy and enjoyable.
- 303katm00Do it!Great day, lovely hosts worth doing!! Convenient pick up from your hotel and drop off. The snorkeling was good and you can see some nice fish. Suitable for all skill levels.
- R4051NOrebeccam00Stradbroke Island Kayaking TourWe are locals who attended this tour yesterday and what an incredible experience, Australian Kayaking Tours were very knowledgeable and added some great humour to the tour. It was so relaxing out on the water, we got to snorkel and be surrounded by so many fish and the view at Stradbroke Island was breathtaking. I would highly recommend this company for your kayaking experiences, great value for money and you will not be disappointed.
- EmilyMatich00Great day out!Our day our with Steven was a really great experience. We were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves and were treated to Steven’s local knowledge of food, entertainment and most importantly the actual kayaking and local wildlife. Snapped some great pics of us on his drone. Would definitely recommend this local business.
- debbielF8311GO00A great outingSteve was a great host. We were ecstatic to see dolphins. The snorkelling was pretty good. Steve was very informative about local wildlife.
- MMLeeder00Great valueThe whole day was well organised with enough time spent in each location to enjoy all of Mother Nature's treasures. Great price for a great tour.
- wendyl58200Great value!!Awesome experience with a knowledgeable guide. The paddle was relaxing and saw so many fish while snorkeling!
- G3995ZGdarrenj00Kayaking,snorkling dayThis whole trip was a great day out i would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to do with family or friends my 14 year old daughter loved it,the fish came right up to us when we snorkeled,and steven our guide was a great bloke with extensive knowledge of the area and waterways making us feel safe at all times and it was also a great workout and a couple of dolphins popped in for a quick look,very cool.

I’ve done many kayaking adventures all over the world and I truely believe it’s the instructor that makes a ‘good’ trip to a ‘great’ one. Pete was brilliant with his knowledge, he kept us safe at all times, he’s kind & funny. Sounds like we love Pete, well we kinds do. 4 of us attended the 2 hour session with snorkelling & it was the perfect amount of time for us. We laughed, had photos taken and took nothing but wonderful memories home. Thanks again Pete.

So fun and special, the snorkelling is a huge highlight. Definitely need to bring thongs / slides for the walk on the beach though, noted for next time

Extremely unprofessional and not a business I’d want anyone to have to deal with. We booked this experience as a fun family activity to do whilst on holidays and it ended up being a let down. After kayaking and walking we finally got to the beach where we were supposed to snorkel and the instructor didn’t have enough snorkels so we had to share one snorkel between the three of us. And I had clearly said that we’d have a child with us and there wasn’t a snorkel to fit him I’d think if you run a business and accept 6 year olds you’d atleast make sure you have one that would fit a child so two of us had to sit on the beach while the whole group got to snorkel and this wasn’t a cheap experience and we missed out on the only reason we went. And when I asked for a partial refund I’ve been ignored. All messages and calls ignored until calling from a different phone! I’m yet to hear back from him and it’s just a really sad experience that you shouldn’t have to deal with when your trying to have a fun day with your family and this company is clearly extremely unprofessional and also unreasonable as I approached it in a kind way and only asked for a refund for us who missed out. Please don’t use this company find one who cares about its customers there is plenty!

As discussed we are very sorry for the missing snorkel. We will be updating our procedures so this doesn’t happen again. We also responded to your concerns as soon we finished the tour and did a partial refund for the inconvenience caused.

It was a really cool tour 😎. The staff were pretty cool, the fish were pretty cool, ergo, the tour was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I have to write this last sentence to reach the 100 minimum character limit for TripAdvisor reviews.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Everyday is different, but we always we lots of fish in the snorkeling location. Dolphins 🐬 are wild, sometimes close and sometimes far away. Sorry for your disappointment.

We really enjoyed the adventure of kayaking and snorkeling as a family! It suited us all from ages 6 -40. We believe the tour guides could have been more interactive and personable. They didn’t explain anything about the island we went to visit, the name of the fish or information about the Broadwater area. They also took photos but never explained how to get a copy. They did however give my children some food to feed the fish which was a lovely gesture.
