Waterbikes
A Unique Gold Coast Adventure

Discover the Gold Coast like never before with Paradise Waterbikes – a unique, peaceful, and eco-friendly way to explore the stunning waterways of Surfers Paradise.

Whether you’re after a romantic sunset experience or a relaxing family outing, you’ll enjoy iconic landmarks, spot marine life, and take in panoramic views – all while enjoying a safe and memorable adventure.

Explore Surfers Paradise

Discover Surfers Paradise from a whole new perspective as you glide along the Nerang River on a pedal-powered waterbike. Perfectly located in the heart of the Gold Coast, our waterbike experiences offer an effortless and eco-friendly way to take in the city’s iconic skyline, the charm of hidden Budds Beach, and the natural beauty of Macintosh Island – home to the famous peacocks.


Whether you’re a local looking for a relaxing weekend activity or a visitor wanting to capture the true essence of Surfers Paradise beyond the sand, our waterbikes provide a fun and memorable way to explore.


Launching directly from our central Surfers Paradise jetty, you’ll be immersed in the lush waterways within minutes, spotting playful fish, birdlife, and maybe even a dolphin or two.

Eco-Friendly Fun

Embrace a cleaner, greener way to explore Surfers Paradise with our pedal-powered waterbikes. Unlike motorized vessels, these waterbikes create zero emissions on the Nerang River, meaning you can glide past mangroves and waterfront homes without disturbing wildlife or contributing to noise pollution.

By choosing this silent, emission-free option, you’re doing more than enjoying a workout; you’re actively reducing your carbon footprint and supporting the long-term health of the Gold Coast’s waterways. Whether you’re an eco-minded local or an environmentally conscious visitor, pedalling along the Nerang River offers an enriching experience that honours both the past and the future of slow, mindful travel.

Spectacular Views

Capture the iconic Surfers Paradise skyline as sunlight glints off soaring high-rises and the calm waters of the Nerang River. Glide past million-dollar mansions shimmering in the reflections — the perfect photo opportunity. Pause at Budds Beach to frame golden sand meeting the river’s edge, especially at sunrise when the water mirrors soft pastel skies. Pedal around to Macintosh Island, home to colourful peacocks and the intriguing “Bigfoot Cave”. Turn your lens towards Chevron Island and the Isle of Capri, two of Surfers Paradise’s most photogenic enclaves. Drift by HOTA (Home of the Arts) for an artsy shot, where striking modern architecture meets lush greenery.


Every stop offers a new perspective, ensuring you leave with both unforgettable memories and the perfect snaps to share.
