This was a really fun trip to explore some areas of surfers paradise for a really good price. The boat captain provided loads or interesting information about all the different sites. An added bonus was once the boat had got to one end of the journey you could get off there or at any of the other stops for an explore and catch a later boat back to your start location at surfers paradise
