Kayaking
Kayak in Queensland in rainforest edged rivers or in the oceans next to pristine white sand beaches. Kayaking can be relaxing, an opportunity for fishing or provide an adrenaline rush when the waters get choppy; there is an option for everyone. Some of our favourite locations for kayaking are the beautiful Moreton Bay Islands National Park and the Noosa Everglades.
Sailing
The coast of Queensland offers so many opportunities for sailing, with the beautiful Whitsunday Islands being one of the most popular locations. If you fancy a challenge why not sign up for some lessons and take the first step to becoming a skipper yourself.
Surfing
The Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast have an array of surf schools where you find your sea legs and seasoned surfers will be spoilt for choice for surf spots in Queensland. If you visit at the of February, why not head to the world famous surf town of Noosa for their annual Festival of Surfing?

The Great Barrier Reef is known as one of the best scuba diving and snorkelling locations in the world. You can enjoy diving and snorkelling straight from the beach on islands like Lady Elliot, Heron and Lizard.
Dive and snorkelling trips head out from the Queensland coast nearly every day of the year or live-aboard boats give you the chance to go further out into the reef and explore for a few days.
White Water Rafting
Tully River is one of the best known spots for white water rafting in Queensland. Kit up, jump in, grab an oar – you WILL get wet.
