Our half day, full day and multi-day trips along with our sea kayak training courses are the perfect way to explore Tasmania’s wild places! Our team is immensely proud to have been recognised as Australia's Best Adventure Tourism operators at the 2019 national awards, adding to a number of state tourism awards. Our half day, full day and multi-day kayaking tours, as well as instructional lessons,

cater for all experience levels and timeframes. Our safety record’s impeccable too! Adventure with us on a premium sea-kayaking eco-tour into the spectacular Bathurst Harbour and Port Davey in Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage Area. This is a sea-kayaker's paradise, with a combination of sheltered wilderness harbours, rugged ocean coastlines, remote islands and wild rivers. On Flinders Island we paddle to offshore islands and into secluded coves, slipping quietly between beautiful orange granite boulders. The water is so clear that you'll see sand ripples, swaying kelp and fish in abundance. Closer to Hobart the popular day tours explore the dramatic coastlines of the Tasman and Tinderbox peninsulas, kayaking among sea cliffs, sea caves, shipwrecks and wildlife. For a different perspective on Hobart's vibrant waterfront, join us on a 2.5-hour paddle and weave among the yachts, tall ships, fishing boats and cruise ships of this beautiful harbour then tuck into a snack of fish and chips whilst still afloat.

We hit the ground running with two big days to get out to Spain Bay in gentle rolling swell, the late afternoon sun bringing out the best colours. While there, we celebrated a combined 116th birthday and braved a heatwave with a lot of refreshing swims. In all we spent four days exploring the vast and mystical realm of Port Davey before making our relaxed way back down the channel through the changing light. On our way out we marvelled at gigantic celery top pines and paid a visit to the Claytons' historic home. Thank you all for great conversation, humour and teamwork. We hope you'll enjoy many more paddling adventures. Mads and Allie 🌊🍎🍐🍓🫐🥑🎂🍷🎊🎉✈️🛀

Wohoo! It doesn’t get any better than that!

A fantastic crew, a touch of swell for some excitement, and a chance to explore the candle stick. We even had an easterly wind blowing us to lunch from the cape and back home. A sea eagle greeting us farewell was the cherry on top.

Team, you were a blast to have along, thank you for the stoke and for being so helpful.

Cheers,
