Depending on the tides and wind conditions, we may also explore Carter’s Bank, South Stradbroke Island, or Curlew Island. Along the way, there’s a chance to land on the shore, stretch your legs, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the beaches, bays, magroves, and intertidal zones.

To complement the experience, we’ll enjoy a delicious beach-style morning or afternoon tea, featuring freshly made bars from a local provider, seasonal fruits, and a selection of hot drinks (coffee, tea, and more).
