We did this SUP tour on our first morning on the Gold Coast. We attended with 2 teens. None of us had ever done SUP before but we all got the hang of it quickly. We had 2 friendly guides who showed us the ropes and we were soon paddling down the waterways. It was the perfect way to start the day as we did a 9am tour. The water was lovely and falling off the board was a welcome reprieve from the sun! All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would definitely recommend it as a great activity. We can’t wait to try it again.

2 adults and an 11yr old. 11 yr old had never done SUP in deep water before. She was quite nervous and not enjoying it. The Instructor saw her getting frustrated and paddled out to her to help. She gave her the confidence (and me) to get us going properly. We ended up having a great time. Lovely helpful lady who made it fun, thank you so much! (Even though my sunglasses are now at the bottom of the river it was worth it!) :-)

Highly recommended! Our guide Lynda was very patient and knowledgeable. She, and Izzy, we’re great with our family in teaching and making sure we all had a memorable day. Boards were chosen for our abilities. The waterway views were scenic and we stopped to see bird life which was really interesting. All in all a great experience and really worth doing!

Linda and her team are delightful. We were first-time SUP riders, and Linda had us standing up on the boards in about 10 minutes. She took the time to get to know each person and tailored her advice.

We'd also booked a kayak tour at a time that didn't work, but she made the kayaks available same day and we had the most wonderful day on the water.

So much of a tour is the guide, and we couldn't have asked for a kinder, funnier, more thoughful person to lead us.

We were a family of four who have never done SUP before. I was quite nervous as I'm almost a non-swimmer (I requested and received a life jacket)

Linda patiently taught us the basics of SUP and gave us a lot of handy tips. By the end of the lesson we were able to do a stand up start.

We're definitely going to do this again. Thank you Linda for a very enjoyable morning!

My non-adventurous mum and I went kayaking and it was a blast! The team at Go Vertical were really friendly and understanding. The equipment was in great condition and easy to use. The location is really central and the beach is nice to push off of. Couldn't have been happier 😊

Great tour of Surfers Paradise waterways. Loved seeing the peahens, peacocks and their baby peacock. Our instructor Dave gave useful tips to those of us that had paddled before and gave instructions to those that hadn’t and had everyone up on their boards and enjoying the trip.
Allowed me to use my own board which was great.

If you’re ever in Surfers paradise make sure you do this! First time trying SUP and what a great experience! Linda is so friendly and helpful, really made me feel at ease.
