Travel Tip – Combine Your Tour with a Car Hire
A Gold Coast Airport car rental makes it easy to explore beyond your kayak launch point. After an invigorating paddle, you’ll have the flexibility to go for a scenic coastal drive or head into the hinterland.
Hiring a car from Alpha Car Hire Gold Coast Airport means you can:
- Conveniently Transport Gear: Easily carry your gear and personal items to and from the launch point. For larger groups, consider booking a People Mover or a minivan for extra convenience.
- Secure Valuables: Keep your valuables locked safely in your rental car while you are on the water.
