THE ROUTE

Open water and island runs

Expect stretches of open-water riding that take you alongside anchored yachts and between the Gold Coast’s islands — the core high-speed sections that give the tour its pulse.

THE SIGHTS

Waterfront mansions and mangroves

The route threads past multimillion-dollar waterfront homes and into quieter channels where hidden mangrove stands offer a striking contrast to the open-water runs.

THE PAUSE

Tipplers Beach stop

A planned refresh at Tipplers Beach breaks the ride, giving riders a short shore stop to stretch, take in the scenery and punctuate the two-hour tour.

What the day feels like
