You’ve seen them on our waterways and out in the ocean … looking like they’re walking on water: It’s stand-up paddleboarding and the Watersports Gurus are the experts, making it fun and easy to learn.
In just 30 minutes, we can teach you the simple techniques for standing, paddling and – most importantly! – maintaining your balance.
This is a sport that will strengthen and tone your muscles in the most relaxing possible way, giving you a lifetime of enjoyment and healthy exercise in beautiful surroundings.
The best part about learning to stand-up paddle board with the Watersports Gurus on Cudgen Creek is that there’s rarely any boat traffic so it’s safe and stress-free. In fact, you probably won’t even get wet!
When booking this tour you will receive a personalised photo album showing highlights of your tour.

Cook Island is home to a large variety of Green Turtles, Hawksbill Turtles and also Loggerhead Turtles. It is extremely uncommon to snorkel the Island and not encounter the turtles.
This is dependant on the individual. If you have previously been sea sick in the past it is a possibility due to the varying conditions on the day.
We take exclusive tours of only 9 snorkelers at any time to ensure you have the best experience possible! This allows a personal experience and to make sure you see the turtles.
We do require experience with a snorkel mask on. Our staff are highly trained & qualified and refresh the necessary skills for snorkelling before each tour. We happily provide private Snorkel Skill Lessons if desired and suggest for beginner snorkelers to ensure more confidence & safety in the water. ( Pls call + 61 430 082 890 to enquire lessons )
Cook Island is a volcanic outcrop which had been awarded a marine reserve park status so no access to the Island is granted.
