Pumicestone Passage

Kayak the crystal clear waters of the Pumicestone Passage and visit the Bribie Island National Park surrounds. Bribie Island is one of the largest sand islands in the world and although it is just  a few hundred meters paddle from Caloundra and Golden Beach, it is a world away in natural beauty and solitude. Feel like an explorer as you discover new beaches and lagoons where only boaters and very keen swimmers can venture. See what wildlife you can spot on the trip: stingrays, soldier crabs, kangaroos and a myriad of sea birds on either your single or double kayak. If you'd like to adventure for more than one hour, the staff at Golden Beach Hire are happy to discuss further ventures you can take on the water, sandbars and islands for anywhere from one-hour to a full-day of adventuring.

Ride the entire length of the Pumicestone Passage Marine Park from Bribie Island to Caloundra. It's a four hour extravaganza – discovering the magic of Pumicestone Passage under the shadows of the Glasshouse Mountains. We combine the thrill of a jet ski ride with an adventurous eco experience winding through narrow waterways under the volcanic Glasshouse Mountains. They last erupted 25 million years ago – the only explosion you will get on this trip will be the burst of adrenaline during our Lighthouse Reach Hot Lap. We'll supply drinking water for this four hour trip and there'll be a 45 minute break in Caloundra – enough time for a coffee / lunch break.

This 90 minute roller coaster has everything! Feel the thrill of riding the waves in the open ocean, the exhilaration of weaving between islands, the adrenalin of the Figure Eights and hot laps….
