About What'SUP Cairns
What'SUP Cairns is the region's dedicated stand-up paddleboard operator, offering guided SUP tours across a wide variety of waterways throughout Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands. Based in Westcourt, they specialise in providing unique paddleboard experiences that range from tranquil lake sessions to ocean reef explorations and river journeys, all led by experienced local guides.
Their tour menu includes ocean paddling around offshore islands, calm-water sessions on the Atherton Tablelands' volcanic crater lakes, sunrise and sunset paddles along the coast, and river tours through mangrove-lined waterways. All tours include quality SUP boards, paddles, and safety gear, with instruction provided for beginners. Board hire is also available for experienced paddlers who want to explore independently.
What makes What'SUP Cairns stand out is the sheer variety of paddling environments on offer — few SUP operators anywhere can match the range from tropical reef to rainforest river to highland lake, all within an hour's drive. Their small-group format ensures personalised attention and a more intimate connection with the stunning natural landscapes of Tropical North Queensland.
