Shoalwater Islands Kayaking with Rivergods Kayak Adventures

The Shoalwater Islands Sea Kayak Day Tour offers a striking way to connect with Western Australia's coastal wilderness just a short trip from Perth. Operated by Rivergods Kayak Adventures, this full-day trip begins with a morning pickup in Perth before heading toward the sheltered waters of Shoalwater Bay. The route arcs around Seal and Bird Islands and Point Peron, where the collision of granite outcrops and crystalline blue surf forms a natural playground for marine and birdlife.

Expect to paddle alongside pods of curious dolphins, watch pelicans and ospreys glide overhead, and spy on sea lions basking on sun-warmed rocks. The islands are a birdwatcher’s refuge, with cormorants and sea eagles frequently spotted in their natural haunts. Rivergods’ expert guides balance safety and enjoyment, providing double kayaks, paddles, and essential gear — making it accessible for a range of skill levels.

Stopping at Point Peron for a nourishing, guide-prepared picnic allows time to absorb the rugged coastline’s unique geology — sharp granite formations sculpted by wind and wave. Throughout the day, the guides share stories of the area's natural history and indigenous significance, enriching the paddling experience beyond the scenic.

This tour is a standout in Perth’s outdoor activity scene. It offers a seamless blend of wildlife encounters, physical activity, and immersive nature viewing, all within easy reach of the city. Whether you’re seeking a family-friendly adventure or an intimate day on the water, Rivergods Kayak Adventures delivers a genuine connection to Shoalwater Bay’s stunning seascapes and wildlife habitats. With transport included and an emphasis on local conservation, this tour invites paddlers to engage respectfully with one of Western Australia’s treasured coastal environments.
