What you'll do
Arrive at beautiful Golden Beach on The Pumicestone Passage, just a 5-10 minute paddle across from the seclusion & adventure of Bribie Island National Park. This is one of Southeast Queensland’s best kept secrets, as the beach one visits to get away from the crowds & feel like you are in your own personal paradise. After a safety briefing & orientation on the map, you are free to explore the Passage & Island at your leisure, spotting wildlife and stepping into the unspoilt Dreamtime that is the Passage and thinnest part of Bribie Island. If you aren’t confident with your paddling skills, the team at Golden Beach Hire are very keen to teach you all the skills you need to paddle confidently on the Passage, whether it be just a casual paddle close to shore, or a challenging fitness excursion on the water and surrounding islands. Grab a dry bag or dry box to take a phone, and be sure to take lots of pics, so you can tell everyone about your adventure on the water. Have a swim in the crystal clear waters if you wish and/or stomp around the many islands and bars choosing your own paths and adventures. Feel the seclusion & privacy only the northern tip of Bribie Island & the Pumicestone Passage can provide with no roads or 4WD vehicles permitted for miles. When your done, you will be wondering how you missed this beautiful piece of paradise and why you haven’t done it sooner.

Where you'll be
The waterfront along Golden Beach can be crystal clear at high tide, or tea-tree coloured at low tide. At high tide turtles, stingrays and dolphins can be spotted and at low tide walk the sand bars and island and find legions of soldier crabs, mobs of kangaroos and a myriad of bird life. Feel like you are on your own private beach just minutes paddling from Golden Beach.
So much fun, great hosts and an amazing location....a shame it ended up being a bit windy / choppy - but the day was perfect otherwise. Thanks to Carl & Nicky (and thanks Nicky for making the trip with me 😄). Will definitely be in touch next time I’m up the coast.

We hired a kayak for 2 hours from Carl and the team. They were so welcoming from the start, went through safety, told us about the currents and shared lots of knowledge about the places we could see. The location was beautiful and the equipment was easy to use. We will definitely come again. Thanks for an awesome morning!
