Gina_P, Sept 2023
It was a wonderful experience. 100% satisfying. The tour guide was very helpful and helped my husband and I with the kayaking since it was our first time. Loved the snorkelling. Saw many colourful tropical fish.

We had a fantastic morning, our guide Jane was professional, safe and had a great sense of humour. We toured as a family with our kids, 10 & 14 years old and they absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend this tour. Thank you!

Lacking in enjoyment
Michele_O, July 2023
Not overall the experience I had hoped for, maximum actual kayaking we did was for barely an hour, snorkelling spot was sparse, saw the odd fish. Was over in 2 hours. Guide was nice & friendly. Not value for money either.
Response from Host, July 2023
Hi Michele, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent kayaking and snorkelling adventure with us. We sincerely apologise for not meeting your expectations during the tour. We regret that the duration of kayaking and the snorkelling spot did not provide the experience you had hoped for. We have finished a bit earlier in a few times if we believe all participants wish to go back to shore, perhaps we did not read the situation accurately in this case. We appreciate your kind words about our friendly guide and also understand that your opinion differs from other customers who have enjoyed the same tour you were in. We value your feedback and will use it to enhance our services for all our guests. If you have any further suggestions or concerns, please feel free to contact our team at info@seawaykayakingtours.com.au Thank you for choosing us for your adventure, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience in the future. Best regards,
A great day on the water!
Darrell_S, July 2023
My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. Nelson, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. He did everything to make sure we were both safe and comfortable. Thanks Nelson! The kayaking was a lot of fun and some beautiful scenery was to be had. The snorkelling part was also good, but it was a little bit choppy on the water, so it made it a little trickier to see underwater. We had some snacks on the beach before heading back. Overall, I would recommend this tour!
Response from Host, July 2023
Hi Darrell, thank you so much for your support and kind words :) it was a pleasure for us to have you in the tour! All the best for you guys!
Must try!
Stephanie_L, July 2023
Angel and Hector were awesome. They were very knowledgeable and took the time to make sure that we were all safe and provided all the necessary rules and equipment. They made everyone laugh and had great spirits. They provided coffee, hot chocolate, and snacks once we got out of the water from snorkeling. Even though it was very cold, and we didn’t see too many marine life, it was still a fun experience!
Response from Host, July 2023
Hi Stephanie! Thank you very much for your support and kind words :) We really appreciate it!
When the water is flat and you can't surf, this is a pretty good alternative.
Sithila_T, June 2023
I have to give credit where it is due to the guide for being flexible, even though I was 5-10 minutes behind the intended schedule. I've had kayaking experience before, but this was a good morning workout, and the guide was patient with the group. Snorkeling was decent enough. Only problem is the spot can be a bit busy with scuba diving instruction, but otherwise, it was good. Bring your own fins along if you aren't a strong swimmer, but if you stay near the rock wall, you should be ok. If you are new to this, relax, because the guides are very patient, and will stay close to you if you don't feel confident.
Response from Host, June 2023
Hi Sithila, thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it :)
Really enjoy the time...
Josie_L, June 2023
Really enjoy the time when kayaking, but the time was not enough to enjoy especially after I learn how to kayak, and then time just ran out. But it's still enjoy the time
Response from Host, June 2023
Hi Josie m. Thank you very much for your support :) We invite you to try our “Chill Out Tour”. This tour runs for 5 hours and is more suitable to participants that would like to stay on the island for longer. Besides, kayaking and snorkeling, we also provide SUP boards and lunch 🙂

Great short experience...
Brent_L, Mar 2023
Great short experience (2.5-3 hrs), basic kayaking tour around Biggera Waters to Wave Break Island. The guide also helps you to take photos, and have snacks which are all good way to experience surfing and picnicking in by the sea/bay. Recommends it
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hi Brent, thank you for your time and writing this review. We are glad to see that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you again :)
Amazing time
Tarinee_K, Mar 2023
Had a great time at this tour. Snorkeling was the highlight of my trip to the gold coast. Nelson was our guide who was very knowledgeable and accomodating. We got to see a see cow which is very rare, along with sting rays, and a dolphin while kayaking and plenty of fish while snorkeling
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Hi Tarinee! Thank you so much, that was certainly a very special tour :) Thank you again, our best wishes to you :)
