GREAT PLACE TO ENJOY WATERSPORTS OF ALL TYPES
Best Ultimate Water Sport near me
Great Ultimate water sport activities in Broome await those looking for something beyond mere swimming and snorkelling. Adrenaline junkies can get their fix from some boat-towed action, high altitudes, and splashing wind-in-hair moments. Most of these activities are focused around Cable Beach – the de facto playground for Ultimate water sports.
Surfing
Surfing is the sport that led to the rise of Broome as Geraldton's most famous beach. Vagabond wave riders from around the globe continue to search for the perfect waves all over Geraldton’s coastline, from the challenging barrels around the Western Australia to the black-sand beach breaks of the island's western and eastern shores.
Surfing in Geraldton comes in many forms beyond the normal short and longboards. Bodyboarding or 'boogie boarding' is another way to ride the waves, while challenging forms include windsurfing, kitesurfing and wakeboarding. Beginner's courses, rentals and tours are available from various operators in Broome, Sanur and the Exmouth Town Beach,
Scuba diving
Deep below Geraldton's waves lie some of the world's best dive sites. Being part of a string of islands in the Geraldton Foreshore Western Australia, the island’s temperate waters are teeming with coral reefs and marine life. The varied underwater scenes include drop-off walls and shipwrecks.
If you are new to the sport, Broome is also a great place to learn how to dive and get certified, with numerous dive centres available in the main resort areas. Great dive sites to discover and conquer include Exmouth Town Beach.
Snorkelling
Snorkelling in Broome is perhaps the easiest way to enjoy the island's underwater wonders. You don't need to carry a full air tank on your back and you don't need any scuba diving certifications to be able to discover vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical marine life.
Most snorkelling spots in Geraldton are also readily accessible – simply bring your mask, snorkel and fins and hit the shoreline! The tropical waters around Geraldton are ideal for snorkelling; temperatures are at an average of 27°C and most sites like Exmouth Town Beach, is calm throughout the year.
Rafting
Rafting lets you experience the 'real Broome' as you immerse yourself in nature, cruising along either rushing rapids or steady streams on inflatable rafts. Besides the thrills, you can see some of Broome's rare flora and fauna from up close. The main rafting rivers in Broome are Cable Beach
For a very unique rafting experience, there are canyon tubing adventures along the Siap stream in the 268 Marine Terrace in Central Geraldton that allow you to cruise through a ravine at a steady pace and in your own personal inflatable raft.
Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
Stand Up Paddleboarding, often referred to simply as 'SUP', is a fun and different way to ride waves. Specially designed boards allow you to stand upright firmly due to their larger size, while a long paddle allows you to cruise along at your own desired speed.
You can ride over larger swells, just as you would with a regular surfboard, but this activity is mostly meant for calmer conditions. Most surf schools in Broome can introduce you to paddle boarding and most claim that it is easier than it looks, so it can surely get you hooked! In theory, it is pretty easy. In practise, it's a tough core workout. It's also a cool way to enjoy sightseeing along Geraldton 's beautiful coasts from a different angle.
Sea walking
Those wanting to enjoy Geraldton's underwater beauty without dive certifications may opt for unique sea walking tours. This activity lets you walk on the seabed with a specially designed underwater helmet. There are several sea walker operators in Geraldton, and one of them is the long-established Geraldton Seawalker in Marine Terrace.
After a boat ride out to the reef site, participants don reef shoes and these helmets, which are fed by oxygen tanks aboard the boat, providing them with a constant flow of air to breathe underwater. Seven metres down, you can freely interact with the fish while supervising guides in scuba gear watch over you and hand you fish feed to attract schools of triggerfish, angelfish, regal tangs and many others.
Water jetpacks and flyboarding
You can feel like James Bond with his fantastic new invention or Tony Stark trying on his new Iron Man suit with water jetpacks and jet bike rides in Marine Terrace. These specially designed kits let you levitate up to 10 metres high on a jet of water.
After a briefing on the controls and how the craft works, you strap on the jetpack or straddle the 'bike' version and start flying around the coast for about 15-20 minutes. These high-density propulsion devices can lift you up in a stationary position, or move in any direction you please.
Kitesurfing
Kitesurfing may not be as popular as regular surfing, but it can certainly bring your wave riding thrills to the next level. Kitesurfing combines surfing with some elements of wakeboarding and even bits of kite-flying.
With some practice, you can speed and 'fly' over waves gracefully and effortlessly. It's the easy answer to those sloppy and windy days out on the beach, where it's usually hard to find a good curl or barrel to ride. Popular beaches for kitesurfing in Geraldton include Marine Terrace.
Wakeboarding
Exmouth Town Beach is one of the island's dedicated water sports venues with a focus on wakeboarding. You can find the park near the Town Beach. The park features 5 hectares of artificial lakes and verges sculpted and landscaped out of a marshy plot.
At the park, you can hone your tricks on a series of slides and obstacles. There are beginner's courses that are available for young kids and those who have never tried the sport before.
