Testimonials

We thoroughly enjoyed the morning with Redland Kayak Tours. Everything was well organised and ran like clockwork. Especially kayaking on the creek was a real eye opener for us, as we had not even heard of this creek before. The tranquillity was amazing, it was hard to believe that we were still somewhere in a big city. The beauty of the Redlands was brought home to us again. Thank you Katrina also for a scrumptious morning tea!

Just wanted to say thanks for the photos and thanks for a great arvo in the bay. It was a fun way to spend the afternoon and both Troy and myself really enjoyed it. What a beautiful time of day and the scenery was beautiful. You made us feel part of the group and safe with your instructions. thanks again it was lots of fun.

Dear Katrina & Tony, I was part of a mini tour group last month and I just wanted to thank you both so much for a fantastic day.  The beauty of Moreton bay has so much to offer.  I have lived in the Redlands a good part of my life and how wonderful it was to discover the coast line in such a tranquil and relaxing way.  A novice kayaker I was a little apprehensive but absolutely no need to be, instantly I was made to feel at ease.  You guys have opened my eyes to the best stress relief ever and you will be seeing myself and my family on a very regular basis. Thank you again.

Thank you for sending the photos, they are great. We both really liked our experience with you as you took the time to show us how to kayak. You both made it feel personal, like we were kayaking with friends, which was lovely. I would not hesitate in recommending your company to anyone and would love to go again next time we are in Brisbane.

Thanks so much to you and Tony for taking us out!  The team had a marvellous time and it was a great way for us to have a bit of fun together (you were right about corporate groups ending up in the drink! LOL)We would highly recommend Redlands Kayak Tours to other businesses wishing to get out of the office environment and have a good time.  The photos are fantastic and the guys have had a good laugh remembering the antics on the day. Thanks again and I'll be in touch soon to tee up our personal ones.

We had one of the best adventure days yet as the weather was perfect and myself being a beginner I was surprised at how well I could kayak with great easy to follow instructions. It was a fantastic workout and to do it in a picturesque setting make it the most relaxing workout I have ever had. I am already thinking about when my next kayak trip will be!

I would highly recommend Redlands Kayaking tours. Their very personal service, professional equipment and experienced guidance made for a very enjoyable and relaxing afternoon. I look forward to going again.

The morning was amazing, weather perfect. Ive always spent my time on the water in a powerboat, so it was a different yet more beautiful way to see the ocean on a kayak. At times it felt like the rest of the world didnt exist yet i was so close to it the whole time.  Joshuwah really enjoyed himself and wants to paddle his own kayak next time. He couldnt wait to get to school and tell his friends. Its an activity i would be sure to do again.Thank you.

Thank you so much for the photos.  My daughter Lisa and I thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking experience.  You made us feel welcome from the very start to the end.  Tony was an excellent guide, full of information about kayaking and surrounding areas.  The cup of coffee and biccy at the end was also a pleasant surprise.  We have highly recommended you to friends, family and work colleagues as a great outing or for team building exercises.  Thank you once again for a fantastic and enjoyable experience.

Katrina and Tony - what a wonderful day we had meandering down the Tingalpa Creek , couldn't think of a better way to spend a few hours on a Sunday morning , Tony was very informative of the area along the creek .  Felt totally safe with all the gear provided - hope to come again real soon , well done on getting the business up and running , I'll be recommending the trip to others.

Thanks for the photos, just wanted to let you know I had a fabulous time. It was great to get out on the water and see some of our local wildlife. I particularly enjoyed how uncoordinated I was and running into other kayaks and it was great we could all have a laugh about it. I found it a fun way to exercise and would love to do it again soon. Would also love to check out some of the other waterways in the Redlands and look forward to re-booking with you. 

We really enjoyed the mini tour at Tingalpa Creek, it is such a beautiful place to explore. The experience was a delight from the very start: from the booking, and dealing with Katrina, which was so ueasy, to the actual tour, itself. Our guide Tim was knowlegeble, very friendly and full of good tips to learn to paddle. We would definitively recommend this tour to everyone, beginners included, and I am sure we'll be back from some more.

Dear Katrina and Tony, Thank you guys! You are both wonderful! What a team you make!  The whole experience was formidable and all four of us are looking forward to a follow up paddle.  It was just great. Lovely from beginning to end! 

I had a great time with your tour.  Your guides are very knowledgable about kayaking and the local history of the area - makes for a great morning out paddling.  The refreshing morning tea at the end is GREAT - nice way to cap off a paddle.  You've inspired me to clean the cobwebs off my yak and start paddling again.

I had such a fantastic time on Saturday I think Kayaking may just become my newest pastime. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't do the trip around Coochie but these things happen and the trip up the creek was still a wonderful paddle. Tony is an awesome instructor with great local knowledge and we would definitely be keen to do the Choochie trip next time he is going. It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for a great morning, I will definitely be recommending Redlands Kayak Tours to our friends.

I enjoyed my first ever kayak experience so much that I booked another the following weekend!   A peaceful and relaxing way to enjoy the beautiful waterways the Redlands offers.  Tony and Katrina are to be congratulated on their professional and friendly manner, making all feel comfortable and welcome.

Mark & I had a wonderful day. It is always nice to do things with people that enjoy the outdoors , goes to show that you don't need to go on multi-day expeditions to experience the closeness of nature.  Tony, the information you provided was outstanding you are the first tour guide that has provided so much information about the area ,wildlife and instruction.  Also,it was nice talking to you both and getting to know you ,with your instruction you made learning fun , with us deciding to put that instruction into practice was good for us to know what to do in a situation if we capsize again in the future.  I am going to do single kayaking next time ...lol    We will definitely be back for more trips with you. 

Thanks again for a great day!  Lorraine & Mark

Myself and my Fit Stuff team recently kayaked with Katrina & Tony Beutel from Redlands Kayak Tours.  We all had a magnificent time and was highly organised and run very professionally.  We would recommend this Kayak tour to anyone and everyone, wether it's business partners, friends or family it's most definitely money well spent.

Just a little note to say thank you to you and Tony for Sunday afternoon.  I had a great time and Tony was so patient with me trying to paddle against the wind.  But I must say I did it with Tonys encouragement.  Looking forward to the next trip.

It was a perfect day for kayak and probably one of the best day out for the children in a long time. We are still talking about it after two weeks. I told our neighbors about this trip and our lovely hosts: Tony is just a great guy and he knows his water and very down-to-earth, the children have learned so much from him. Katrina is so helpful and responsive, Internet booking is the way to go. The kayak gears are solid, top quality and very safe. We enjoyed the tour so much, thank you, Tony and Katrina! We will definitely see you again.

We had a lovely time – the weather was perfect and the children easily handled it at the pace the group took; it was really nice exploring a local location that we have driven over hundreds of times but never paddled before.

'We found that Redland Kayak Tours was everything we could hope for in trying out and learning to kayak.  As a couple of people with no experience whatsoever we were quickly put at ease by the professionally run and competent couple.  Thank you for your guidance and enthusiasm to help us gain confidence in our new found love of kayaking and your advice and suggestions for making our own Kayak purchase.  See you out in the water!'  Rachael & Aaron

Thank you for the great photos!  We had a fantastic morning out on the water and are still talking about how much fun we had. Tony is a born tourguide and provided some great kayak tips and techniques. His easy going and charismatic nature made the whole morning very relaxing and enjoyable for all.  His local knowledge of the waterways and surrounding local establishments for lunch/refreshments proved to be great advice and turned the morning activity into a fantastic day.  I can't think of a better way to start a day/weekend.  Thanks again, we'll be back for sure :)

Dear Tony and team, Thank you for providing the kayak tour for the new upcoming “The Boat Show” to be aired on Briz 31, an initiative of Marine Queensland on Saturday. The afternoon was a breeze to film in such a beautiful setting, from the calm waters to the birdlife. I look forward to seeing the edited version on TV and hope the viewer’s book your guided tours, it’s well worth it!

There is nothing better than to glide upon calm waters under a showery start, just cruising along enjoying the wonderful sights, ending our journey under blue sky, accompanied by great hosts, thank you for a memorable day

Thank you for the photos – we had a really great time & Kurt had a great birthday too, thank you for making the day special, not many people can say that they have had ‘Happy Birthday to you’ sung to them while paddling in Moreton Bay!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. My son particularly loved it as it was only the second time he had been on a kayak and I did because I knew it was safe to take him out with the group.  Thanks again!

We had a wonderful guided paddle on sunday. I grew up in Brisbane but didn't realise just how accessible & beautiful the waterways are.
Thanks for looking after us. It was a great way to finish the weekend.

Our kayaking experience around Birkdale was tremendous fun even on a windy day!  The hospitality extended by yourself and Tony was more than could be expected, you made it a truly amazing experience.  As for the cost?.....bargain of the decade....!!

"I am delighted to say that I enjoyed the kayak trip immensely and thought that you and Tony did a FANTASTIC job.  The whole event was extremely well organized and both you and Tony were friendly, helpful and made the event  very memorable.  I will definitely be trying a creek trip and my husband is keen to come along to."

The kayak trip we did with you from Birkdale to Wellington Point was real fun and relaxing. The steady pace meant that beginners and experienced kayakers were all able to enjoy the scenery and companionship without falling back too far from the leaders. A really nice surprise was the hospitality given at the end of the trip, of hot drinks, muffins and fruit. I am recommending your tours to all my friends and I already have a number of friends interested in coming along on a tour.

Thanks for the photos they were great.  Both the children had a lovely time as did we, we would highly recommend the tours for any one interested.  We thought it would be a great idea for Christmas team building/break up parties or the like.  We will be back, thanks for a great day!

Thanks so much for the fantastic day out on Saturday. We had a great day out and the weather was perfect. The trip was very well organised and professional yet incredibly friendly.  I love it and will come again.

Hi there, awesome day out. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I have plans to come back to Australia again and would definitely spend a day out on the water with you guys. Lots of banter going on and the route was beautiful, apart from when I crashed into a bush, but thankfully Tony was there to the rescue. 

Just wanted to say thank you for a great morning yesterday. We thoroughly enjoyed our paddle up Tingalpa Creek on such a beautiful day. It put me on a natural high for the day! We will be back for more!

Just wanted to say what an excellent afternoon Tony and yourself provided for us down at Tingalpa Creek on Monday afternoon. Everyone of us enjoyed the experience so much, the kids are still talking about it..!! We are now definately looking into buying some Kayak equipment for ourselves.  We all felt that you gave the perfect combination of great tuition, a fun activity and all delivered with friendliness and a smile..!  We wish you both the very best of luck with "Redlands Kayak Tours" and will definately be telling people we know all about you..!!

For a first time kayak experience, we found our tour guide "Tony" fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and he made it all too easy.....highly recommend kayaking in our beautiful waterways that are just at our doorstep and who else better to experience it with other than our now "local" company Redlands Kayak Tours!  Marissa, Thornlands.

Want to enjoy the beautiful waters of the Redlands with family and friends. Join Redlands Kayaking Tours and experience a whole new world of fun and adventure. Darryl, Wellington Point.

I wanted to thank you for a lovely day on the bay!  I’ve been out with you several times now and have enjoyed every minute.  I will definitely recommend you to all my friends - an awesome activity for the entire family!  I look forward to coming out with you again!  Melinda, Birkdale.

"I booked a social club kayaking experience in February and I was worried about our age range and level of fitness.  What age difference, what fitness level, all 14 of us had a blast. Gorgeous day, beautiful waterways and expert guidance, fantastic."

We were looking at buying a kayak but hadn't tried it before, so we decided to do a tour with Katrina and Tony first. We enjoyed it so much we bought a kayak the same day and are now repeat customers. What better way to see areas you won't normally see, in a nice relaxed way. All followed by a nice social cuppa and muffin.  Steve and Madonna, Alexandra Hills

As a family that loves spending time outdoors we all very much enjoyed our tour with Redlands Kayak Tours ... very well organised, safe, full of laughs and an all-round event that the whole family can do together ..regardless of age or fitness levels. Fantastic hospitality with yummy treats to round off a morning of quality family time, thank you RKT! Alex, Victoria Point.
