Stand-Up Paddleboard Hire in Caloundra

8 Reviews

1 hour

Overview

This is a self-guided stand-up paddleboard hire on the calm waters of Pumicestone Passage in Caloundra. It’s a simple way to get out on the water without booking a full tour, and the sheltered conditions make it a more approachable option if you’re still getting the hang of paddleboarding. From here, you can reach Bribie Island’s sand stretches in minutes, keep an eye out for sea life below, or just paddle away from the busier parts of the coast for a quieter hour outdoors. Hire includes a safety vest, paddle, and local advice on currents and wind.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It’s a low-fuss way to do something active on the Sunshine Coast without paying for a guided tour. The starting price is relatively accessible, the calm water makes it less intimidating than open-ocean paddling, and you’ve got the freedom to explore at your own pace. It also suits travellers who want a short outdoor activity that still feels scenic and a bit different from the usual beach stop.

What to expect

You’ll be set up with your board, paddle and safety vest, then get practical advice on the day’s conditions before heading out on your own. The experience is self-guided, so you can choose whether to keep things easy in the sheltered passage, paddle towards quieter beaches, or stop off for a break if conditions suit. Learner boards with good buoyancy are available, which helps if you’re newer to SUP. The listed hire time is one hour, so it works best as a short, relaxed session rather than a big half-day outing.
