Local Balunjali Kayak Tours Among the Best Australian Experiences

Enjoy the greatest natural adventure on Australia's Gold Coast, including kayaking, snorkeling, dolphins and Aboriginal culture.

Breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the wonderful scenery as your guided kayak group paddles a short way across the calm blue water to Wavebreak Island. Marvel at the array of sea-life, dolphins, stingrays and birdlife you may encounter along the way. Snorkel straight of the sandy beach in the clear warm waters alive with sub-tropical fish and frequented by dolphins and enjoy a sumptuous traditional Aussie billy tea breakfast under the casuarina trees.

The Balunjali tour guides will awaken your senses to the nature that surrounds you as you participate in a mock hunt for the Golden Swamp Wallaby and learn about Aboriginal ceremonies and survival skills.

The half-day interpretive tours depart daily from Main Beach.  Book now and save $15 on double adult pass.  See yourcoast.com.au for a local's voucher for this and other exciting things to do, attractions, accommodation and dining specials furing December and January.

Summer on the beach: Where to Chill

The Gold Coast, in recent years, has become the most opted destination for tourists all over the world. It has some of the most beautiful and stunning beaches in the world - such as Surfers' Paradise, The Spit, Main Beach, Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach, South Stradbroke and Nobby Beach.


Surfers Paradise might be where gay and lesbian visitors head for when they hit the Gold Coast with their boards and beach gear. But locals looking for a place to paddle, surf, swim, watch sexy surfers, or just  to chill with friends head for Main Beach.  It's opposite  the exciting Tedder Avenue precinct for casual and fine dining, fashion and gift shopping.
