Kids Activities

Bundaberg is not just the gateway to the wonders held within the Southern Great Barrier Reef, it’s a region that offers the perfect mixture of country and coastline. We’re talking natural encounters on and off the water, farm-gate tasters (which will have the entire family wishing you packed the elastic-waisted pants) and fun yet educational experiences the kids can take back to their classroom show-and-share.
