Boat Day Trips Main Beach

From Surfers Paradise to South Stradbroke’s Island Paradise
‘Tour to Tipplers’ - 4 hour return trip.

Aquatic and Island adventure!

Escape to an Island Paradise! Let ‘Beachcomber Charters’ take you on the only Boat Tour from central Surfers Paradise to a remote part of South Stradbroke Island, the Gold Coast’s best kept secret - a place known as ‘Tipplers’.
This exclusive small group tour is limited to 12 guests per day due to the pristine environment of South Stradbroke Island. Guests enjoy a one-hour (25-kilometer) boat trip past the sights of Surfers Paradise’s famous high rises, glamorous homes, marinas, and theme parks, north into the waterways and wilderness of Southern Moreton Bay Marine Park to our destination on South Stradbroke Island.
South Stradbroke Island is the most southern sand island in Moreton Bay and is a 22km long protected Conservation Park managed by The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.
Once arriving at Tipplers guests have two hours to enjoy this piece of Paradise. Guests can choose to relax or to join our guide on the ‘Tipplers Walking Trail’. This is a 45-minute guided walk - suitable for most fitness levels - that leads visitors across the island through a beautiful dense forest of Australian native vegetation species to the remote eastern beach. Here the only other visitor may be a wallaby or two!
This isolated eastern beach of South Stradbroke Island is the perfect spot to take a photo to the south of Surfers Paradise in the far distance. It is also the perfect vantage point to view the passing Humpback Whales during their June – October annual migration!
On the return to Tipplers guests can order lunch or a drink from the Tipplers Café.
Tipplers Café serves a delicious selection of food and drinks, and it is here that our guests can order lunch or indulge in an Island cocktail if they choose! There’s an hour of relaxation time at Tipplers Cafe before the return boat cruise.


Wildlife Experience.
On our cruise through to South Stradbroke Island, we will be on the lookout for a variety of Australian wildlife including marine-life such as dolphins, turtles, and dugongs. Stunning birdlife also call this area home; species such as Pelicans, White-bellied Sea Eagles, black swans and more – we will be sure to point these out to you as we see them!
Visitors to South Stradbroke Island may be fortunate to spot the striking golden swamp wallaby or even species such as echidnas and goannas which are some of the wildlife that call this Island home.
