This is a beginner-focused hydrofoiling lesson for anyone keen to try one of the newer water sports around. You’ll use an electric hydrofoil and learn from a highly experienced coach, with the session aimed at building solid basics rather than just having a quick go. The skills taught here are designed to carry across to surf foiling, wing foiling and kite foiling, so it makes sense if you’re serious about learning properly from the start. At AUD300, it sits more in the specialist lesson category than a casual cheap activity.
Why backpackers love it
If you’re into boardsports or want to try something more specialised than a standard surf lesson, this is a solid way to do it with proper coaching. The main draw is getting access to niche equipment and experienced instruction without needing your own setup. It also suits travellers on a short stay who want a structured lesson rather than spending weeks figuring out the basics alone. Just keep in mind this is a premium-priced activity, so it’s better for those genuinely keen to learn than anyone simply looking for the cheapest water activity.
The class runs for 1 hour 30 minutes and centres on learning the fundamentals of hydrofoiling with hands-on instruction. It’s set up as an introductory lesson, so the focus is on technique and shortening the learning curve early. An electric hydrofoil is included, so you won’t need to bring your own gear. Public transport is available nearby, which helps with access, but you’ll still want to arrive ready for a physically active session. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, and it’s not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
