Overview
Nothing says wanker more than the words Life Coach. Sure ... Bun Lek Solutions could charge you big $$$ to email you daily positive sayings or movies that a simple Google or YouTube search could give you for free. We could even charge you for advise that we have read from other books like The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Covey. Charging people for pithy sayings is not what we are about.
​

Whale Watching
For the ultimate whale watching experience jump aboard Bun Lek for an exhilarating, interactive adventure with the mighty Humpback Whale. Watch in awe as whales indulge in some playful antics, powerful breaches and friendly up close and personal activity in their aquatic playground. These majestic and curious creatures migrate past the Palm Group every year between June and September. Since our first voyage we have had thousands of whale sightings and hundreds of happy customers. Guests will learn all there is to know about the Humpback Whale thanks to our on-board graduate marine educators .
Water Sports
There are few better ways to explore the coastline and islands of the Palm Island Group than in a sea kayak. The close proximity to nature that kayaks allow gives detailed insights into the environment both above and below the water. We often have amazing encounters with dolphins, whales, turtles and other marine life while paddling around and over some of the most diverse reef in the world. Add to your adventure by bringing your snorkelling gear and explore the reef from close up.
For those that want to try something different a quick lesson from the helpful team at Bun Lek Solutions , a little puff of wind and before you know it you will be windsurfing across the waves and taking in the blissful beach surroundings at Butler Bay. The bay is protected from the waves by an inshore reef but receives strong offshore breezes to power your board and get the adrenaline flowing through your vains.
Hiking & Bushfoods
Palm Island has an extraordinary number of walking trails, from those that ramble through tropical rainforest to trekking rocky outcrops into secluded bays. Awaken your senses while you enter a world of ancient traditions, as seen through the eyes of your Indigenous guide. Learn about bush tucker, medicines and seasonality as you undertake a journey of discovery, walking on traditional lands. Over many thousands of years Aboriginal people have perfected the skill of obtaining and preparing these natural materials into edible foods. Our Indigenous guides will share stories that are associated to foods and places visited having been passed on down through the generations since the beginning of time.

Community Development
At Bun Lek Solutions we are fully aware of our ethical responsibilities to the individual and community at large. All of our activities offered are linked in some way to our Community Development Fund. This fund supports community based organisations and individuals who are in need of a helping hand.
We do this in various ways. Our Fishing activities give away 75% of the catch to organisations such as the Sandra Boyd Nursing Home and other needy individuals free of charge. We participate in all community events and offer support where necessary. At Bun Lek Solutions we promote Indigenous culture and cross cultural learning with all of our clients and the community. We challenge stereotypes and misunderstandings that people from differing cultures may have. Participation in our activities will have a lasting impact on your life.
