Day 2 - Rainbow Beach

K'gari, Queensland

Get up early and explore the picturesque Carlo Sand Blow and watch one of the best sunrises you are likely to experience. The Carlo Sand Blow is a unique ‘moonscape’ sand mass that covers over 15 hectares and provides expansive views of the towering coloured sands surrounding Rainbow Beach. Replace the vehicle for a day with the freedom of horsepower. Rainbow Beach has a long history with horses, from the use of horses in the early days of exploration, to the brumbies that still run free on Inskip Peninsular, and through the Poona National Park. In Rainbow Beach you can horse ride in a stunning beach location, and take your horse for a swim in the ocean with the stunning coloured sands as your background. With endless kilometres of beach, enjoy some beach fishing for the afternoon or simply enjoy the diversity of the flora and fauna that calls this stunning location home. Finish your day with a sunset cocktail and a beautiful meal at one of Rainbow Beach’s many restaurants and pubs, while reviewing the tide times and condition report for the following day’s adventure. Stay overnight in Rainbow Beach.
