What to expect

You'll meet your guides, receive a safety briefing and kit up with life jacket and wind protection. After a quick rundown of throttle and steering, you head north along the coast, weaving past vegetated islands and through shallow mangrove runs. The pace is steady enough to take in the subtropical scenery but fast enough to feel the rush. Around the halfway point, you'll pull up at a beachside tropical bar on South Stradbroke Island to catch your breath and grab a cold drink (food and beverages are at your own cost). The return leg follows the same route back to base, taking roughly 90 minutes each way with the bar stop included.
