Gold Coast SUP Safari

That’s perfect!! She SUPs trips and retreats are designed with single travellers in mind. 90% of our attendees book in without knowing anyone. We guarantee that within the safe supportive environment that She SUPs cultivates, by the end of the weekend you’ll leave having had an awesome time with some new water-loving friends!

To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 Fitness Rating. This trip is a Level 1. This means a basic level of fitness is required to enjoy this highly active trip featuring short walks, lots of paddling, and SUP yoga.

To make it easier to understand what’s in store for a trip, we rate our trips on a 0-4 SUP Ability Rating.

This trip is a Level 2: Previous paddle experience in conditions with boat traffic will help you on this trip, and stamina to paddle up to 3 hours (featuring lots of rest stops!). However most paddles are on flat waterways.

As with all She SUPs trips and paddles there is no pressure to stand for the whole paddle. You’re welcome to sit or kneel whenever you want to.

With all outdoor based trips and retreats, the final itinerary is always weather dependent (with paddle boarding in particular being wind dependent). The weather forecast will be monitored daily (and in many circumstances hourly) by your instructors, and our itinerary will be adjusted each day to make the most of the forecast. If the wind is looking challenging for our paddles we will aim to find an area that may be protected so that we can still take to the water in a safe manner, however our route and distance may be reduced. If the conditions look unsafe to paddle for the whole weekend, your Host will find alternative activities for you to do.

We ask you to understand that we cannot offer a refund if the itinerary is different to your expectations or any itineraries referenced on the She SUPs website.

If we need to change an activity due to the weather or other forces outside of our control, you can guarantee that our team will be working hard to ensure you still have an action-packed weekend.

On this trip Alternative Wet Weather activities may include: bush walks, visiting a waterfall, visiting local tourist destinations, a yoga class, a visit to a local Onsen/spa, a winery tour.

She SUPs Trips are open to all women (and non-binary individuals) over the age of 18. Typically most guests are between the ages of 25 - 70, but there is no maximum age limit.

When we’re out exploring on our trips, age becomes irrelevant as the whole group always bonds over their shared experiences and love of the outdoors regardless of the year they were born!

Go for it! Staying on before or after a trip is always an awesome way to make the most out of visiting an area.

Please note, She SUPs does not have the capacity to support you in finding accomodation before or after a trip, but you’re welcome to ask for suggestions from others in the trip WhatsApp group.

She SUPs aims to offer a mix of shared and private rooms on each trip.

Many light sleepers or snorers choose to book a private room.

We offer shared rooms as a way of making trips more affordable and accessible to all. All shared rooms feature individual beds for each individual so you will never be required to a share a bed.

For many women, sharing a room with others is a new experience (or something they haven’t experienced since their teens!) But fear not, 9 times out of 10, it’s absolutely fine as an adult too.

If you’re a light sleeper and sharing a room, please let us know before arrival so we are aware. You host will have ear plugs in case of snorers, and we advise that you bring anything else that may help you sleep better such as your favourite pillow, an eye mask, a heat pack, lavender oil, chamomile tea etc.

After hosting hundreds of women on our trips, we have found that some guests don’t sleep very well on the first night as they are often subconsciously apprehensive about the weekend. But once they relax into the retreat and we’re keeping active every day, they sleep soundly every night! Please keep your host notified of your sleep patterns if you’re not getting much sleep. There will be plenty of nap opportunities during the day time too.

We do our best to cater for all dietary requirements where possible. Please share with us all requirements, allergies and intolerance’s at time of booking so we can take these into consideration when planning the trip menu.

If you have completed dietary requirements or are concerned about food, you are welcome to email the She SUPs team at hello@shesups.com.au (once you have confirmed your booking) to ask to see a rough plan of the trip menu prior to the trip so we can ensure you’ll be comfortable with what’s offered. Please note; the final trip menu may not be available until 1-2 weeks before the trip.
