Animal Encounter SURFERS PARADISE

60mins Accompanied Waterbike Experience

Enjoy a peaceful and scenic 60mins waterbike experience exploring the Gold Coast’s beautiful waterways.

Departing from the heart of Surfers Paradise, you’ll pedal your way along the iconic scenic canals, where you can spot local wildlife, admire stunning riverside homes, and take in the magic of the Gold Coast skyline. Your friendly waterbike host will accompany the group from a nearby support boat to ensure a safe, relaxed, and enjoyable experience.

Once at Budds Beach, take a short break to rest, rehydrate, and soak up the laid-back atmosphere. Your host will provide a chilled drink and light snack from the onboard esky, all included in your experience. You’re welcome to enjoy a refreshing swim in the calm waters before the return ride. You’ll also have the option to visit the popular Bumbles Café, located right across the road, to purchase a coffee or snack (own expense) before the leisurely ride back to Surfers Paradise.

The Double Waterbike features side by side seating, offering a simple and enjoyable way for two people to cruise the waterways together, without the need for complex coordination.
