It costs about $200 for two people to get into a buggy and basically you go through a track that takes you onto the other side of the Island, with nice white sand and beach with waves. You basically then drive up the beach for 10mins and then you stop take some photos and then drive back down and go back through a different boring track. They are very strict on handling the buggy, it was a very boring tour and would not recommend anyone to waste money on it. The instructor was somewhat rude, and they are understaffed. The total tour time was around 45-50mins for $200, avoid it and save your money.

Can’t comment on the half a day tours, but this was not worth paying for.

Sorry to hear that you found our tour and the lovely island scenery boring. Our tour guide wasn't rude but he did have to stop the tour and have a word with you as a few of your group were trying to drift and were not follow the rules set out on our tour. As the word tour suggests it is not a rip it up and fast drive and drifting through the island, which was explained at the briefing before the tour started. It is a conservation Island and we are there to do as little damage or endanger the wildlife on the island which is why we have these rule in place . .Yes we were understaffed that day and with you late booking our other employee couldn't get back to the island in time to help. Thanks for your review May I suggest that you try off road rush which is $220 for 15 minutes and you can drift the buggies there

Hamish and Amanda were amazing hosts and tour guides, we spent the morning touring South Stradbroke island and it dune - with Hamish recanting tales of the islands history.

The Buggies are great fun and well looked after, we felt both safe & excited during our visit. The beach drive was perfect and the off road section really good fun.

After that it was onto the Segways, with a brief safety video & explanation of the instructions. Having never used Segways before Hamish calmed my nerves and taught me the controls within minutes. The dirt tracks are expansive and intricate to drive around. We spent 45 minutes zipping around the tracks exploring and looking for wallaby's and other wildlife.

We then had an hour at the resort on the island to choose from Kayaking, Paddle-boarding, Cycling and many more activities. Finished up with stunning food and a beer in the resort's restaurant.

Either side of the activities we had a 35min boat trip out to the island which in itself is worth doing. The scenery from the boat was an added bonus we had not anticipated.

Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a mix of activities for their family.

This whole expericance couldn't get any better! my partner and I did it for our birthdays and could fault the day at all from start to finish.

Amanda and Hamish do an amazing job running this business. I was very slack at organising a date and responding but Amanda was patient and so helpful with finding a time to fit us in while we were on holiday.

The little thing on the tour make the day even more fun from feeding the fishies at the start, to learning the history of the island to just getting some down time to explore the island to do your own thing.

I would recommend this to everyone of all ages!

My sisters and I really enjoyed this tour from the boat ride, buggy ride, and segways. The tour operators, Amanda and Hamish, were welcoming and very clear when providing instructions at all times of the trip to ensure our safety and at the same time have an enjoyable experience. The highlight of the trip was driving the buggy and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the beach and island and spotting some wallabies along the way! We learned interesting facts about the island too.
Highly recommended!!

Amanda was so accommodating on the phone even putting together an extra time slot to fit us in. Hamish took us on the buggies which was sensational, never done anything like it and we all loved it. Segways are super fun as well. The free time on Couran Cove also provides plenty of activities to make it an action packed all day fun fair.

Thanks to Hamish we had an absolute ball! We did the 1.5 hour buggy tour with segways at the end. We were all in stitches and our faces hurt from laughing. Very informative tour guide. Safety and fun is their moto and they didn’t disappoint! We will definitely be back with our kids, thanks for a fun afternoon out!
