Coral Sea Kayaking

17/11/2024

Winding up this year's PNG season, and were inspired and motivated to continue creating incredible routes out here. The caring hospitality of the local people, combined with a shared love of canoeing make us want to keep coming back. Thankyou to all the new and old friends that have helped us run these amazing trips on the Louisiades Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea.

Last week we took a watertank in to Mrs Sarto and her family on Ito Island! We were all stoked as this is something they have been needing for many years ❤️

Our vision for our PNG operations is one of partnership and mutual benefit with local communities. There are many ways we put this into practice as we transit the islands, from school and medical supplies, to small or big things which can improve quality of life. We're constantly thinking about the impacts of these trips, and if there aren't positives for everyone involved (guests, locals and staff) then for us there would be no reason to continue.
Here's to many more trips, and good times shared and amazing connections 😄

Amazing work by the Pasana group, so glad we get to visit Sanakoli and the team in their village of Lumolumo on our Louisiades paddle. It's an incredible project to connect young people of PNG and revive traditional canoe culture!

Winding up our trip in a super cosy location after 9 days kayaking, camping and visiting new spots! Super grateful for the kind, generous PNG hospitality of all the new friends we made on this trip!

This was the second kayaking trip through our Basilaki-Sideia route in the Louisiades Archipelago and we're incredibly proud of the partnerships formed with local communities. We are working with a model of partnership, mutual benefit and cultural exchange in these trips, and remain open to all the great ideas that come our way from local people. We're excited to see how the trips continue to grow 😊🙏🙌

Arriving into Sunken Reef bay and conditions are perfect!

Weather is looking amazing for our 100km of paddling this week!

Thanks for a superb week out on the island team! Despite some challenging swell and wind early in the week, there were laughs, games and good times all the way through, with poetry and even a musical jam session up at Zoe falls! Our perseverence payed off as we paddled back to Mission Beach in glassy conditions 👌

A quick note that our early bird discount for 2025 bookings ends this week! We've already filled our first two trips, so now is an excellent time to book to ensure you get your preferred week of paddling. Our 6 day expeditions depart every Sunday.

Family dinners on Hinchinbrook Island!
Nothing like days of teamwork, chatting on the water and exploring magical new places to bond the crew.
Super tasty food, a few camp lights, torches and stunning sunsets help to create the right vibe too!

Just in case you forget you're on a remote tropical island, we have some tropcial themed trays to showcase the incredible delights that come out of our 5-star kitchen! 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟🤩

Our brekky this morning was maple syrup french toast with bacon and fresh fruit. 😋
One of our favourite things about these trips is highlighting the delicious local produce that's available fresh in North Queensland.

Sweet or Savory? Which brekky would you choose on day 3 of our Hinchinbrook expedition?
Cream cheese, blueberry & honey? Or Cream cheese, tomato, spring onion and balsamic?

Lucky out on Hinchinbrook Island you can try both! There's enough scrumptious locally sourced fresh food to go round for everyone 😋
PS. Look at the size of those Blueberries straight from the Atherton tablelands!!!

Some more shots from our sunrise adventure!

Sunrise at Nina Peak, the earlybird gets the worm! Half the crew elected for a sunrise mission up to Nina Peak while the other half slept in for an ascent later in the day.

We walked through the rainforest to an orchestra of native birds, before emerging between grass trees on the rocky peak. We sat and watched the sun preak over the horizon, lighting up the sky and illuminating the peaks of Hinchinbrook Island behind us 👌
No better way to start the day!

Now we're heading back down to a scrumptious brekky of fruit salad, blueberries and toasted bagels before paddling to a lunch date on cape Sandwich.

Be like this crew, be an early bird and well apply a $300 discount if you book in for bext years Hinchinbrook season before September 30 😄

We found a new base!
Coral Sea Kayaking has moved back to ! 🥳
This means we can paddle straight to CSK HQ after our iconic Hinchinbrook expeditions, annnd it makes things like shorter trips and day hires a possibility for the future 😀
Now we just need to figure out where to put all the boats...

It has been a long and difficult process trying to find a rental up here due to super limited supply and lots of people in need. Fingers crossed that these pressures ease in the future. After 8 months without it, we feel for all the people out there still struggling to simply get a roof over their heads!

Only a handful of spots up for grabs in our 2024 Hinchinbrook season- Please get in touch if you'd like to join our September 1st or September 24 trips!

Also, our early bird discount for is only available for one more month. Book now and we'll apply a $300 discount to your 2025 Hinchinbrook expedition!
