Stand Up Paddle Boarding Rental

Boxing Day... it's the day after Christmas and chances are you're looking to recover from that epic food coma.
The great news is that Brisbane is very much open for business on 26 December.
To make your life easier, we've brought our favourites into a single place for you.
We would put our bottom dollar on everyone flocking to the beach come 26 December. But if you still want to head out onto the water (without the crowds), why not try a kayak tour, a private lesson in kiteboarding or rent a stand-up paddleboard?
With most of these experiences taking only a couple of hours out of your day, you'll still be able to catch some waves by the shore once crowds have cleared.
Who says you need to wait until New Year's Day to start learning a new skill or craft? Loads of workshops are available on Boxing Day for you to find your new favourite hobby or side hustle.
Get the brushes out and the creative juices flowing at an art class or painting workshop. Or, if the kids are in play, turn that art attack into a splatter and splash fun day out where they get to be as messy as they want.
Put the organising into someone else's hands with a cruise this Boxing Day. Make it a romantic occasion with live music as well as lunch. Or, bring the whole family along for a day of spotting and feeding a dolphin.
These are sure to keep everyone entertained this coming Boxing Day. If you've got little ones, you can hang with cuddly koalas at Lone Pine.
For adult families and visiting relatives, why not sign up for a private tour or test your smarts in an escape room?
Want to end the year on a high? From catching the sunrise in a hot air balloon to whisking across the city in a private helicopter, you can't go wrong.
Enjoy a brief moment in the blue skies and follow it up with a picnic in the park.
2022 has been a big year and we think you deserve a glass of wine to celebrate post-Christmas. From the finest reds to your favourite whites, take your pick of a Mount Cotton tour, indulge in views of the ocean or sip on the wines at Mount Tamborine.
Is there a better way to see your own city than to be a tourist for a day? From having the itinerary planned for you to segwaying your way through Brisbane CBD, this is a hit for those of you looking to get out and about.
You really can't go wrong with a good massage, so take your pick between stone relaxation, aromatherapy or a sauna experience.
See the iconic Story Bridge from a whole new angle. With daytime, twilight and night climbs available on 26 December, it's the perfect way to start or end your day.
Whether you're ready to battle the crowds for a bargain or looking to do some sneaky shopping online, Boxing Day is one of the best days for it. Here's everything you need to know about the Boxing Day sales this year.
