What To Expect

Get up-close and personal with the southern hemisphere’s highest sea cliffs and resident Australian fur seals. We start our adventure with a 1.5-hour scenic drive from Hobart to the Tasman National Park, or meet us at Fortescue Bay. This exhilarating adventure will then have you kayaking under some of Australia’s highest sea cliffs, gazing up at 200-metre-high fluted rock formations, peering into natural sea caves, photographing the towering Candlestick, and searching for climbers on the Totem Pole - a sheer column famed amongst thrill-seeking rock climbers. We enjoy a gourmet Tasmanian lunch at a deserted cove, paddle over a semi-submerged shipwreck and marvel at the abundant marine wildlife that lives along this coast, including resident fur seals, soaring sea eagles, diving gannets, cliff-nesting cormorants, peregrine falcons, and if we’re lucky - a pod of dolphins or a migrating whale. While kayaking experience is not necessary this tour can be physically demanding and you do need to be able to paddle at a relaxed pace for up to five hours (we do stop for snacks, drinks, photos, lunch and just to enjoy the view though!).

Really great part of the world, weather was hit or miss throughout the day but still a great time. Knowledgable guides! Some little details could have been better communicated - like how to prep/dress in advance… but honestly a awesome experience and awesome tour!

Absolutely amazing experience 6 out of 5 stars - we were lucky with the weather and our guides Rob from Canada and Allie from Texas were super knowledgeable and made this experience super special. We felt safe and well supervised at any given time. We cruised along the coastline and got to see some seals sitting on the rocks , playing in the water. Had a sandwich lunch in one of the secluded bays of Fortescue bay and then headed slowly back to the main beach. Very well executed tour , thanks to our guides Rob and Allie and all the other paddlers. If you’re unsure to book this one : I can highly recommend it !!
