SUP Hire In Hervey Bay (Your Complete Guide)

Planning a trip to the Fraser Coast and interested in SUP hire in Hervey Bay? Perfect! We got you! If you’re looking for a fun way to make the most of the calm, turquoise waters, stand up paddleboarding is one of the easiest, most scenic ways to explore the bay.

Here at Aquavue, we hire out SUP boards to locals and visitors alike - day in, day out! 

Why SUPing in Hervey Bay is a Must-Do

Hervey Bay is famous for its calm waters, making it one of the best places in Queensland to try paddleboarding, even if you’ve never stepped on a stand up paddle board before. 

Here’s why visitors love it:

• Perfect for beginners (flat water and light wind most mornings = no stress learning curve). 

• Scenic views (look back at the Esplanade from the water and take in those beachfront vibes). 

• Wildlife spotting (keep an eye out for fish, turtles and yes…sometimes dolphins). 

• Fun for all ages (families, couples, solo travellers – everyone can give it a go).

• 
  

It’s the kind of activity that’s equal parts relaxing and adventurous and makes for seriously good holiday photos.

How SUP Hire Works at Aquavue

You’ve made it to Hervey Bay, you’re staying near the beach and now you’re ready to get on the water – here’s exactly what to expect when you hire a SUP with us:

• Choose your hire time – go for an hour or a half-day (choice is completely yours).

• Grab your gear – we’ll set you up with a SUP board, paddle and life jacket.

• Quick tips included – never been on a SUP before? Don’t stress, we’ll show you the basics.

All you need to bring is sunscreen, a hat and maybe a waterproof bag for your phone or snacks (trust us, paddling works up an appetite - bring the snacks!).

Our SUP hire is available:

• Friday, Saturday & Sunday: 9am – 2pm (bookings recommended)

Weather in Hervey Bay is usually amazing, but conditions can change, so it’s always best to call or book ahead to lock in your spot.

All booking can be made online here.

Tips for First-Time Paddleboarders

Visiting and never tried paddleboarding before? Here’s how to make the most of your first SUP session:

• Go early if possible – mornings are usually calmer and cooler (perfect for beginners).

• Start on your knees if you’re feeling wobbly – standing up comes naturally once you’re steady.

• Stay close to shore until you’re confident (it’s all about enjoying the experience).

• Bring a mate – it’s always more fun to paddle (and laugh) together.
