Choosing a Day Out on the Water

Water is the point of this region, from the surf breaks at Lennox Point to where the Richmond River meets the sea at Ballina. For a group outing on the water, the region's operator is Out Of The Blue Adventures, a Ballina-based marine tour company.

How the region's water outings break down:

  • Julian Rocks snorkelling, guided by Out Of The Blue Adventures, runs from December to April.
  • Snorkel trips leave from the boat harbour at Brunswick Heads, so plan the morning around that departure.
  • In whale season, boats depart the Ballina riverside at Lance Ferris Wharf.
  • Trips start from $129 per person, and kids are welcome.
  • Private charters of the 20-seat or 25-seat boat suit birthdays, team days and bucks or hens groups.

Lennox Head and South Ballina remain the places for a swim or a surf once the boat is back.
