We did the sunrise turtle tour with Andy, and it was amazing. We saw a turtle, and the sunrise was amazing. Andy was very knowledgeable and funny and made the tour extremely informative. We visited double island, which was awesome, and the kayaking was not hard at all. If you are worried about 3 hours on the water, don't be. There are several stops along the way, so you are not paddling the entire time. Palm cove is beautiful and only about 15-20 mins drive from Carins city. I would highly recommend this tour! Local or tourist, it is a fantastic way to see the coastline from a new perspective.

From arrival to end Andy was a super guide, helping us W Kayak, loads of local knowledge including marine life, I went W 11yo daughter..many rests to just chill and admire scenery, my fav was on approach to Double Island the chorus of birdsong..saw a turtle pop head up, rays .. very good value for 4 hours... Felt safe all times ..even had a swim off the island

We are a family of 4 with two teens and it was so much fun. The instructor was very friendly & knowledgeable. We weren’t so great at kayaking but didn’t have any issues. The kids loved the snorkelling too. Highly recommend. And great value for money.

My husband and I had an amazing 4 hours Kayaking with Andy from Pacific Watersports. He was very informative and even took photos which we were able to download after our tour for free. Everything we needed(stinger suits, booties, life jackets) was provided and after a short intro to kayaking we were off. It was a leisurely paddle with many stops to see turtles popping their heads out of the water and swimming under our kayaks. After circling the island, we even got to get off on Double Island for a swim and a short tour. It used to be a luxury Island which Keanu Reeves stayed at while filming the Matrix. This tour was one of the highlights of our stay at Palm Cove.

The absolute highlight of our week in FNQ. As a first time kayaker I was initially apprehensive but it was the most beautiful relaxing morning with perfect conditions, an awesome guide and incredible sights. I would do this again and again!
