5.00We were welcomed onto the beach and given a short demonstration and safety instructions. Everything was ready for us even tho we were early. The weather gods were smiling for a magical calm kayak across the bay, where we had a sumptuous breakfast. Spotted some stingray, ducks, oyster catchers on the way. Stunning scenery and we were well looked after by a slick, professional and lovely instructor, Margarena (sorry spelling)

5.00Beautiful morning kayak tour in Freycinet, in a small group of 10. The pace was relaxed, with a lovely halfway break for hot drinks and cookies. We were lucky enough to spot an eagle and several stingrays along the way. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing great insights about the area while making everyone feel comfortable on the water. A fantastic experience I’d highly recommend.

5.00It's an absolutely fab activity. We were out on the sea for pretty much 3 hours and saw eagles and stingrays. The experience would suit all ages, and no prior experience of sea kayaking is necessary. Our guides, Paul and Mia, were amazing. They provided the perfect experience gor our family. They explained everything clearly and made sure everyone was kept together as a group. The hot drink and cookies, part way through the activity, enjoyed in a secluded bay, was enjoyable too. Got some fab photos of the sunset, and the sea was so calm.
Great kayaking experience in Cole’s Bay

5.00Had a beautiful early paddle around Cole’s and Wineglass Bay. Mia and Macarena were superb guides, providing great pre paddle instructions and super interesting commentary about the surroundings. They had some fun and riders and were great at spotting wildlife too. We stopped at a secluded beach do a break and Maca and Mia served hot drinks and cookies! It was a beautiful trip made to a five star experience by the guides
Super kayak tour with well informed guides

5.00Started early but that helped beat the later winds. It was great to float over the calm bay and see the bottom, though no water wildlife was seen. Did see a White Belly Eagle. Very good guides. Nice to have a beach stop with refreshments and also time for a quick swim
