Adventure & Adrenaline Tours & Trips in Australia East Coast
Byron Bay's surf culture comes alive in our programs, ranging from 5-day starter courses right through to 3-month instructor training. We've found 7-Mile Beach at Gerroa works perfectly for learning - most of our travelers catch their first proper waves within two days. The fuller programs cover everything from ocean safety and fitness work to advanced wave techniques. Our customers really get into the mix of water time and classroom learning. For something more varied, we combine surfing with Fraser Island 4WD runs and Whitsundays sailing, creating active trips that blend water sports, sand driving and also island hopping.
