The day begins at a quiet estuary where glassy water threads between saltmarsh and low dunes. Guides load sit-on-top kayaks and brief the group as pelicans wheel above; the river mouth opens ahead, a pulse that invites paddling. On this three‑hour outing participants move at the tide’s rhythm, following the channel toward the Pambula River mouth, stopping at a sheltered beach for a gourmet morning tea and a brisk swim.

The estuary has long been used by local Aboriginal communities and later supported small oyster‑farming operations; the adjacent Beowa National Park protects coastal heath and lake systems.
Oyster farming here follows local practices that balance harvest with estuary health; visitors are asked to avoid disturbing shorebirds and to use reef‑safe sunscreen to protect marine life.
