About this tour
A three-hour surf lesson at Double Island Point, accessible only by 4WD across Rainbow Beach. You'll paddle into one of Australia's longest waves within a protected Marine Park, with qualified instructors guiding you through fundamentals in waist-deep, crystalline waters. The remoteness keeps crowds at bay, making this Queensland gem ideal for learning on genuinely quality swells that let you progress fast.

What to expect
You'll be driven across the sand to Double Island Point in a 4WD, arriving at a secluded break where few tourists venture. After a quick safety briefing on the beach, you'll wade into gin-clear water and practise pop-ups on your board in the shallows before paddling out to catch your first waves. The instructors stay close, offering tips between sets. Expect to spend most of the three hours in the water—progression happens quickly here because the waves are genuinely long and forgiving.
Good to know
Bring sun protection and dry clothes for after. Public transport reaches Rainbow Beach town, but the 4WD portion is included. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Any fitness level can participate.
