“Brilliant surfing lesson with Kirsty, went from complete beginners to being able to stand up on the board several times. The tour also takes you on a 4×4 ride on the beach to double island point with amazing views of the colourful sand. 100% recommended.”
“Wow! Have heard of Double Island and seen some photos but they don't do justice as to how amazing it really is. We were picked up at Rainbow by Andre from Epic Ocean Adventures who took us on a private tour with two families and 5 kids aged from 8 thru to 15 and all of them had an absolute ball. Andre took us both surfing and kayaking that the kids absolutely loved. Can't wait to come back.”
“My son went for surfing lessons as a beginner. James the guide/coach was very good and along with the other coaches guided my son very well. James was very friendly and polite. The whole epic team patiently thaught the new beginners. it was an excellent day even the right to the beach was great.”
“Today we experienced the DBL Island Tour, awesome 4x4 drive, then kids caught some awesome waves. Highly recommend joining Sean & his crew for a tour!!! Very knowledgeable local. Fantastic Experience! Kids already asking when can we go again 😎 …”
“An amazing experience surfing for the first time with Sean !! Lush location, easy to book and very good price. Lesson was very well organised and Sean was so good at making us feel relaxed and giving confidence. Couldn’t recommend it enough!”
“Great day with epic ocean tours! Sean was an incredible guide and gave us an awesome tour around the beautiful double island point. Was great to surf Australia’s longest wave with little to no crowds and actually to myself for a while. Sean’s surfing expertise was super helpful in improving my surfing through his constructive advice and videoing and photography. After scoring heaps of waves he drove us along the sands back to rainbow beach where we saw the lovely colourful sands which a camera couldn’t do justice. Would high recommend doing a tour with epic oceans as you won’t regret it! I’ll definitely be coming back :))”
“Highly recommend to anyone wanting to go, don’t think twice! It was the best day surfing on one of the most outstanding beaches I’ve ever seen! The instructor was incredibly helpful, very knowledgeable and loved teaching us how to surf, we all had the best fun and learnt how to stand up and surf very quickly. The drive to the beach is beautiful and the whole day was an overall 10/10!”
