2-Day Whitsunday Islands Sailing Adventure: Condor YachtA 2-day, 2-night sailing tour of the Whitsunday Islands aboard the maxi yacht Condor, departing from Airlie Beach. You sleep onboard in mixed dormitory cabins, sail to Whitehaven Beach and two snorkel sites, walk to Hill Inlet Lookout, and eat meals prepared by the crew. The tour runs with a guide and experienced sailors who handle the boat while you participate in the sailing and swimming; snorkeling equipment, all meals, accommodation and an after-party in Airlie Beach are included.Is it for me?Most Whitsunday day tours leave from Airlie Beach and return the same afternoon, which means snorkeling from a moored boat and watching Whitehaven Beach from a distance. This one has you sleeping onboard and spending a full three hours on the beach itself, plus two snorkel stops and real sailing in between—the crew navigates while you participate, and you meet the other travelers over two nights instead of a single day.
Mooloolaba Canal Cruise: Croc One & Riverside MansionsThe Original 1-Hour Mooloolaba Canal Cruise is a guided boat tour through Mooloolaba's canals and river system, departing from Mooloolaba Wharf. You cruise past Mooloolah Island's award-winning homes, the Kawana Canal system, and Steve Irwin's vessel Croc One, then head out to the river heads to see the coastline from Mooloolaba Beach to Noosa Heads before returning. A live guide provides commentary throughout; the boat has a fully licensed bar where you can buy beverages and snacks, or bring your own.Is it for me?The cruise runs at a relaxed pace on still water, so there's no physical exertion or water entry required — it suits anyone who wants to see the region's history and homes without leaving the boat. If you want to steer for a moment, the skipper makes that possible; if you'd rather sit and listen, that works just as well.
Springbrook & Tamborine Rainforest Tour: Glow WormsThis full-day guided tour from Brisbane explores Springbrook and Tamborine National Parks, two sections of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests. You walk to Natural Bridge waterfall at Springbrook, tour the Cedar Creek Glow Worm Caves (specially lit for daytime viewing), and hike Curtis Falls at Tamborine, with stops at Hinze Dam wildlife area and free time at Gallery Walk. The group stays under 21, and a professional guide leads all walks and points out the local wildlife — kangaroos, koalas, rainbow lorikeets and other birds common to the area.Is it for me?This tour works best if you're staying in Brisbane without a car, since the minivan picks you up and handles the full route to both parks — no driving the mountain roads yourself, no deciding which walk to skip, and no navigating between the two national parks. The guide leads every stop and points out the wildlife as it appears, so you're not searching the trees alone.
Paronella Park, Lake Barrine & Millaa Millaa Falls Day TripYou’ll travel from Cairns into lush rainforest for scones at Lake Barrine, swim at famous Millaa Millaa Falls, walk under ancient fig trees and explore Paronella Park’s castle ruins with a local guide.

Mackay sugar cane tour with tastings: Sarina Sugar ShedTaste of the Tropics Tour is a one-hour guided tour of Sarina Sugar Shed in Mackay, where you walk past a working sugar cane patch and historic machinery, then move into the mill and distillery to watch juice extraction and taste award-winning rum and fruit liqueurs, chutneys, relishes, sauces, non-alcoholic ginger beer and freshly-spun fairy floss. A live English-speaking guide leads the whole experience. The tour is wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels.Is it for me?Book this tour for a morning or afternoon when you want to understand how Queensland's sugar industry works without spending half a day on it — the guide handles the history and the process, and the tastings give you something to take home in memory and flavor.
Green Island Snorkelling & Glass Bottom Boat from CairnsYou board a fast catamaran from Cairns and spend half a day or up to seven hours on Green Island, choosing between snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef from the beach or viewing it from a glass bottom boat. You walk through the island's rainforest at your own pace, use the swimming pool, and return by catamaran. Morning tea is served onboard; lunch is available for purchase on the island.Is it for me?Pick this if you want to see the Great Barrier Reef without committing to a full-day boat trip or arranging your own transport — the three daily departures mean you can fit it around other plans, and the choice between snorkelling and glass bottom boat lets you decide how much time you spend in the water.
Noosa Surf Lesson: Learn to Surf on the Sunshine CoastYou meet at the beach, get fitted with a rash vest and soft board, and spend the lesson in waist-deep water learning to paddle and stand up with a qualified instructor. The session includes safety instruction on the sand, hands-on coaching in the water, and all equipment. You'll catch multiple waves and leave knowing whether surfing is something you want to keep doing.Is it for me?Book this if you've wanted to try surfing but didn't know where to start or didn't want to figure out the logistics alone. The instructor handles the teaching, the equipment is provided, and the waist-deep water at Noosa means you can focus on learning instead of fighting the ocean.
Mooloolaba: Sunset Cruise with Seafood & River ViewsYou’ll drift along Mooloolaba’s waterways as evening falls, tasting fresh seafood straight from local markets and catching glimpses of fishing boats and grand canal homes. With friendly guides sharing stories and table service for drinks or dinner, you’ll find yourself unwinding into that slow Queensland sunset rhythm — maybe even forgetting to reach for your camera.
Brisbane Airport to Sunshine Coast: Shared Shuttle ServiceYou check in at the airport terminal, board a shared minivan, and get dropped at your Sunshine Coast accommodation without arranging a rental, waiting for a bus, or navigating unfamiliar roads. Departures run hourly from early morning to late evening, so you're rarely waiting more than an hour after landing.Is it for me?Worth booking if you're arriving at Brisbane without a rental car and want to reach the Sunshine Coast without arranging transport yourself — the fixed hourly schedule and door-to-door drop-off mean you skip the car rental queue and the guesswork of timing a bus connection.
Surfers Paradise: 1.5-Hour Canal & Waterway Cruise with DolphinsYou board a two-level boat in Surfers Paradise and spend 90 minutes cruising the canals and Gold Coast Broadwater, spotting dolphins and sea eagles while a guide talks through the homes, history and wildlife.

You're back on the dock by early evening or mid-afternoon, depending on your slot.Is it for me?Right for anyone with a couple of hours free in Surfers Paradise who wants to see the Gold Coast from the water without arranging their own boat or worrying about timing — the daily departures across five time slots mean you slot in around your schedule, and the food and bar mean you're not just sitting, you're settling in.
Airlie Beach: Jet Boat Ride Pioneer Bay with Photos & GuideYou’ll grab your seat on a high-speed jet boat in Airlie Beach, tearing across Pioneer Bay with spins and sudden stops while your guide points out sea turtles or even rays if you’re lucky.

Brisbane Walking Tour: City History & Story Bridge ViewsThis small-group walking tour of Brisbane covers the city's main attractions over three hours with a live English guide, starting at Queen Street and ending with views of the Story Bridge and the Brisbane River. The tour traces Brisbane's history from British colonisation and its impact on First Nations people through to its recent transformation ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Inclusions are a local craft beer or soft drink, a sweet treat, and group photos; the group stays small so you can hear the guide and move freely through the streets.Is it for me?Three hours is long enough to cover Brisbane's main attractions and history without eating your whole day—you'll have the afternoon free for South Bank, a longer lunch, or exploring the neighbourhoods the guide recommends. The small-group size keeps the pace steady and the experience intimate, so you're not herded through the streets or competing to hear.
Palm Cove: Kayak Turtle Tour to Double Island & ReefsYou’ll paddle from Palm Cove to Double Island with a local guide, watch for green turtles surfacing nearby, explore coral reefs and mangroves (and maybe even slip into a limestone cave if tides allow).

Hervey Bay Whale Watching Cruise: Marine Scientists, Platypus BayA three-hour whale watching cruise in Platypus Bay, Hervey Bay, led by marine scientists who interpret whale behaviour and share findings from ongoing research. The tour operates on the Ocean Defender, a 12-metre rigid inflatable boat designed for small groups, and includes live commentary, soft drinks and snacks. Whale sightings are guaranteed between mid-July and early October.Is it for me?Book the sunset departure at 3:30 pm if you want the whales and the light at the same time, or choose an alternative start time to fit your schedule—both options run the same three-hour route and marine science commentary. The small-group rigid inflatable boat means you get closer water-level views than a larger vessel would offer, which matters if photography or watching behaviour details is your priority.
Gold Coast Parasailing: Tandem & Triple Flights 400ft HighYou arrive 30 minutes early at Marina Mirage, get a safety briefing, and are harnessed into the latest equipment with a life jacket. The boat winches you 400 feet above the Gold Coast Broadwater for an eight-minute flight with a friend or partner, then returns you to the dock. The whole session takes about 45 minutes, and you'll need a valid photo ID and the card you booked with.Is it for me?Book this if you want to experience the Gold Coast from a completely different angle without arranging your own boat or worrying about safety equipment — the operator handles all of that, and the tandem or triple setup means you're sharing the moment with someone else rather than flying solo.
