Surfers Paradise Island Escape Boat Tour

Escape to an island paradise! Small group (max. 12 passengers) cruise from central Surfers Paradise to South Stradbroke Island, the Gold Coast’s best-kept secret—a place known as ‘Tipplers’.
Enjoy a complimentary welcome drink of bubbly, beer or soft drink to start your journey to your island destination. A Picnic Basket with a Fruit & Cheese Platter is yours to enjoy once we arrive at the Island.

A sightseeing cruise is a highlight as we travel past the sights of Surfers Paradise’s high rises, glamorous homes, marinas, and theme parks, north into the waterways and wilderness of Southern Moreton Bay Marine Park to our destination on South Stradbroke Island - with not a highrise in sight!

At 'Tipplers' guests can enjoy a Guided Tour through South Stradbroke Island's Conservation Park - The 'Tipplers Walking Trail'.

Wildlife spotting will be a feature of this tour, so keep a watch out on both sea and on land!

South Stradbroke Island

South Stradbroke Island, Queensland

South Stradbroke Island is the most southern sand island in Moreton Bay and is a 22km long protected Conservation Park managed by The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.
Once arriving at Tipplers guests have about 3 hours to enjoy this piece of Paradise.

Guests can choose to relax or to join our Tour guide on the ‘Tipplers Walking Trail’. This is a 45-minute guided round trip walk - suitable for most fitness levels - that leads visitors across the island through a beautiful dense forest of Australian native vegetation species to the remote eastern beach. Here the only other visitor may be a wallaby or two!

This isolated eastern beach of South Stradbroke Island is the perfect spot to take a photo viewing south to Surfers Paradise in the far distance. It is also the perfect vantage point to view the passing Humpback Whales during their June – October annual migration!
