Heights not your partner’s thing?

Why not contact Surf Connect to grab a SUP board, kayak, or pedal boat for two and soak up the sun together out on the water, or go boating and water sporting courtesy of Boating Planet.

How about making the day a social celebration?

Bring some of your coupled-up friends along for an on-water BBQ with your special someone aboard a Bribie Island Boat Charter BBQ boat.

Is your Valentine a keen golfer?

If so, treat them to a round of golf at Fairways Golf & Beach Retreat followed by a well-deserved lunch, tapas, or dinner overlooking the course and the bay.

How about bushwhacking bonding?

For camping road trips from Brisbane, head to Neurem Creek, or Archer Campgrounds and enjoy 4WDing fun along dirt tracks to Falls Lookout, or stop for a refreshing dip in Rocky Hole. If you and your partner really want to enjoy some alone time together, you can trek to some of our region’s most isolated camping hotspots located on the Pumicestone Passage side of Bribie Island at Mission Point, or Limes Pocket (only accessible by boat), or on the sands of Ocean Beach (4WD required).
