Top Water Activities in Australia

Don’t forget to wear plenty of sunscreen, even on cloudy days. I learned that the hard way after getting sunburned during my visit!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some cash. Food at the beach can be pricey, and you’ll want to enjoy lunch without breaking the bank.

I recommend exploring the rock pools at low tide. It's a fun way to spend some time and look at all the little sea creatures!

I suggest taking the scenic ferry, but book your ticket in advance. The views are worth every penny, and you also save time compared to driving.

Try to arrive before 10 AM for a quieter beach experience and snag a good spot. The later it gets, the busier it becomes!

I found that the best fish and chips are at a little place called 'The Boathouse'—grab a picnic, and enjoy it on the beach!

If you're a beginner, take a lesson first. The instructors are super chill and made me feel comfortable right away, which made a huge difference!

Don't forget to bring a towel and maybe a change of clothes! I regretted not having these after hitting the water a few times.

If you're renting surfboards, check out the local shops instead of the overpriced ones at the beach. I saved a bunch and still got good gear!

I suggest checking the surf conditions before you go, especially if you're a beginner. The waves can get pretty intense, so waiting for the right day can really make your experience a lot better

If you're looking to save some cash on food, there's a great picnic area just a short walk from the beach. Grab some snacks from the local grocery store instead of pricey cafes. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!

If you're timimg your visit, go early around 9 AM. The crowds are way lighter, and you can get through the check-in super fast!

My advice is to wear a swimsuit under your clothes because you might get splashed during the jet boat ride. Trust me, you don’t want to sit in wet clothes all day!

I think you should definitely try to ask for the front seat on the jet boat. It's a bit more bumpy, but you'll get the best views and the most thrills!
