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.

Guides were great - knowledgeable, friendly and engaged. Group was great - all seemed to enjoy it and the peacefulness of the waters at sunset sensational

5.00This was our second trip with Freycinet Adventures and again the tour and organisation did not disappoint. Paul was a great guide and provided easy instructions for new paddlers before we set off. Experiencing Coles Bay in a kayak is a perfect way to soak up the beauty of this amazing location.

4.00Great paddle in slightly windy conditions. So pleased it wasn’t cancelled as the wind did drop a bit and anyway, we were guided through less windy spots. Tour guide Maca was very experienced and friendly, and she had great knowledge of the area.
Amazing Experience

5.00My wife and I did the Breakfast Paddle. It was a truly magical experience. Neither of us had ever kayaked before but the tour leader Mia made us very comfortable and explained everything. We never felt unsafe or worried. The paddle itself was serene with beautiful views of the mountains and birds and wildlife. We stopped at Honeymoon Bay for a lovely breakfast (pastries, fruit, chia pudding, tea and coffee) sitting on the rocks. It was one of the highlights of our Tasmanian trip. Well worth doing.
