I absolutely loved my first experience stand up paddle boarding! I attended the 9am tour and we spent two hours... paddling the lake, learning new tricks and exploring all the beautiful bird wildlife onshore. Linda teaches you all the correct techniques to make gliding through the water a breeze. I highly recommend it to anyone of any skill level! �read more

Linda is the best! Paradise tour was a great way to introduce people to paddleboarding and help them learn paddle... techniques. We had a small group of us paddling along the Nerang River and got to go check out the peacocks and some other Aussie bird species. If you go to Surfers, you definitely have to do this tour!read more

We found Linda to be friendly, went out of her way to arrange something convenient, easy to deal with and made sure we... had the best possible experience. Our first day booking weather was bad so she offered to reschedule and made it easy to work it into our plans. Also didn't mind a last minute change for our friend to paddle with our daughter when my husband was not well. The paddlers had a great time and sounds like they are hooked on SUPPING! Our only problem is that this could cost us a fortune in SUP classes and a paddle board! Thanks Linda. This was the No. 1 thing Ella wanted to do on our family holiday and you made it the biggest highlight!read more

What an utter disappointment with using your services. Right from just trying make a booking to now being 2 weeks... past our not so "eco tour" and we still haven't seen sight of the pictures that you proudly claim is apart of this "amazing experience". Obviously your computer is working fine since for a week now, you have had no trouble posting up other groups pictures and advertising. We tried to be understanding when we were sent to the wrong end of the Gold Coast with little apology, then to have it worsend by you feeling it was appropriate to gas bag to other people and keep us waiting around for even longer. Did you even realise that our 11am booking never kicked off till close to 12.30??... This is not ok.We will never be using your business again or recommending it anyone.read more
