What to expect
You'll launch from a Gold Coast beach and spend roughly two hours paddling, with breaks for snorkelling and breakfast. The Broadwater stays sheltered, so expect calm conditions and clear visibility underwater. Guides manage the pace and stay alert for marine life. Snorkelling takes place in shallow, protected spots where you can feed and observe reef fish. The beach breakfast is light but filling. Expect to get thoroughly wet and spend time in the sun.
