Brought to you by the same team that started Showtime Kayaking, Glide Rides was created from a shared love of the outdoors and a passion for unforgettable experiences on the water.

After seeing the rise of water bike tours on some of Australia’s most spectacular waterways, we knew this was an experience worth bringing closer to home. From coastal harbours to scenic rivers and resort destinations, water biking has become a unique way to explore Australia’s natural beauty — and we believed Lake Macquarie deserved to be part of that story.

With its wide-open water, sand islands, and diverse wildlife, Lake Macquarie is one of the most beautiful aquatic playgrounds in the country. We saw an opportunity to showcase it in a fresh, exciting way — one that feels accessible, active, and memorable for both locals and visitors.

Glide Rides was designed to be more than just a ride. It’s a guided adventure. A way to experience the lake from a new perspective — gliding across the water, soaking up the scenery, and discovering fascinating facts about this incredible environment.

Just like with Showtime Kayaking, our focus is on quality, safety, sustainability, and guest experience. Every tour is guided, thoughtfully curated, and designed to feel personal, relaxed, and special.

Whether you’re visiting Lake Macquarie for the first time or rediscovering your own backyard, Glide Rides invites you to slow down, get outside, and experience the lake in a new way.
