Need confirmation that Chris Hemsworth is the best Hollywood dad ever?

Well, you're in luck.

Shunning the Oscars for the ocean this week, the Thor: Ragnarok star is currently back in his native Australia and spending some quality time with his family on the beach.

Fortunately for us, he's sharing his family's activities -including camping, barbecues, jump rope and surfing - on Instagram.

Over the last few days, the proud father-of-three has been skipping rope by the beach with his daughter and wife Elsa Pataky, and teaching his oldest daughter India how to surf.

'Day two with my surf coach, she's like a little angel on my shoulder constantly feeding me knowledge and inspiration,' he wrote on his Instagram post.

'And occasionally heavy handed criticism that borders on abuse but I know it's for my own good (joke).'

To celebrate International Women's Day, the 34-year-old posted the most adorable picture of his wife on the beach.

He captioned the post:

Happy international women's day to my beautiful wife , daughter , Mum and all the incredible women out there for their strength , compassion and courage to make the world a better place and let's not forget that the women of tomorrow are being grown and nurtured among the children of today! Yet another reason to #defendchildhood for all children today and every other day!

The star's public display on love for his wife of eight years on Instagram comes months after he opened up about the sacrifices the actress has made for his career over the years.

'In terms of work, she's certainly given up more than I have,' he told GQ Australia. 'She'd like me to step back and be at home with the kids more and, of course, I want that too. But I feel like I'm at this crucial point in my career - I've just got to set up for longevity or I'll slip off.'

Our love for this man knows no limits.
