Highlights:
Your guides lead the short paddle by kayak across the tranquil blue waters of the Gold Coast to Wavebreak and South Stradbroke Islands - an area rich in local wildlife. Marvel at the array of sea-life - dolphins, stingray and birdlife you may encounter along the way.
Now it's time to immerse yourself in the warm waters, snorkel straight off the sandy beach, feed the sub-tropical fish, swim, or soak up the sun from the golden shoreline of Wavebreak Island - the choice is yours.
Next, a hearty appetite is rewarded with a sumptuous Aussie billy tea breakfast (or afternoon) tea on the beach - fresh fruit and tasty damper bread served with traditional fruit jam and billy tea, whilst your guide shares ancient stories about the island.
Your guide will awaken your senses to the nature that surrounds you and help you discover bush tucker as he paints a picture of the aboriginals, land and wildlife as it has been over thousands of years.
Now it's time to explore with your guide and participate in a mock hunt for the Golden Swamp Wallaby (unique to this island), discover other wildlife in its natural habitat and experience ancient Aboriginal ceremony.
The paddle home, although just 30 minutes , provides the time to reflect on this awesome adventure and your newfound insight into an ancient culture.
