On the Water

Seeking the stillness of crystal waters? Or perhaps the eye-catching excitement of a colorful coral reef. Find it all, here.

From rivers to reefs and gulfs to gorges, Australia's water-based journeys offer a sensational experience. 

Take your pick from an endless list of tempting transports – will it be a catamaran, kayak, sailboat or speedboat? Paddleboard, surfboard, waterski or jet-ski? – and hit the waves for an experience you just can’t get from the shore. 

Dive straight off the boat to do a little snorkeling with dolphins, or stay perfectly dry as you sail through a group of small islands. 

Battle waves for a chance to watch whales in action, or book a dinner cruise and toast to the sinking sun. 

Even the rivers here have a robust range of options, from cruising to koala sanctuaries to watching crocs jump for food. 

Whether a single day trip or a multi-day excursion, you’ll have the ability to cap off the limits of your comfort zone, so you can feel safe and assured for the entire time at sea. .
