5.00What a great way to spend a morning. My husband and I had the best time on our kayak. We were lucky to be the only couple on the tour, and it was fabulous. The cookie and hot chocolate was a lovely way to have a rest. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

5.00Corey & Ruby took us on a fantastic, relaxed paddle and we really enjoyed the scenery and their information about the area and wider Tassie. It’s also a great activity to get familiar with the little bays and beaches for swimming & snorkeling.
Amazing and a must
