Freaking Out Kayak Tours
Official Partner**Paddle into the wild heart of the Great Sandy National Park — where dolphins arc beside your kayak, humpback whales drift past on their own terms, and turtles surface in crystal-clear shallows.** Rainbow Beach Tours (operating as Epic Ocean Adventures) runs guided kayak and water adventure tours from Rainbow Beach, using 4WD beach drives to reach the remote gem of Double Island Point — a location inaccessible by regular vehicles. Whether you're paddling beside wild dolphins, watching humpback whales glide silently past your kayak, or exploring the calm shallows of Pelican Bay in search of turtles, every tour is designed to bring you into nature respectfully and memorably. The team are passionate locals and experienced guides who take great care to protect the wildlife and ecosystems of the Great Sandy National Park throughout every outing. Small group sizes mean you get a genuine, personal experience rather than a crowded boat ride — and guides like Sean and Vince bring deep knowledge of the coastline, its marine life, and the stories behind Rainbow Beach's famous coloured cliffs. **What tours are available?** The tour range covers a variety of interests and fitness levels. The dolphin kayak tour takes you out to Double Island Point by 4WD before paddling alongside wild bottlenose dolphins in open water. The whale watching ocean kayak experience (available June to October) offers a rare, engine-free encounter with humpback whales — just your paddle, a small group, and the open sea. The turtle kayak tour explores the sheltered waters of Pelican Bay, ideal for families and first-time paddlers. Stand-up paddleboarding is also available. For those wanting a truly tailored day out, private tours combine dolphin kayaking, SUP, surfing, and 4WD exploration in one fully personalised adventure. All ocean kayak tours depart from Rainbow Beach and head to Double Island Point, where the views stretch across to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island). Surf lessons are also available at Double Island Point — widely praised as one of Australia's most beginner-friendly waves. Rainbow Beach Tours is a standout choice for active, eco-conscious visitors to the Fraser Coast.
