Select participants and date
The last light slides across the Clyde River like a hand drawing a line—warm, quick, insistently orange. Paddles dip in unison as a flotilla of kayaks threads through the low tide sandflats beneath Batemans Bay Bridge. Midway, engines of hunger start to hum: Sam’s Pizzeria appears on the waterfront, a promise of hot crusts and familiar toppings waiting at the water’s edge. Guides tie boats off while pizzas are transferred from quay to kayak; the surreal choreography of sauce, steam and salt air makes the ordinary extraordinary.

Adventure Tips
Bring a small dry bag
A 5–10L dry bag keeps your phone, keys and a light layer safe from spray during the dinner stop and night paddle.
Wear quick-dry layers
Temperatures can drop after sunset—avoid cotton and layer a light windproof top over a synthetic base.
Sun protection for the launch
Sunscreen and a brimmed hat ward off late-afternoon sun on the flats before the sun sets.
Charge a headlamp or phone light
You'll re-enter low-light conditions for the return; a small headlamp makes regrouping and docking safer.

History
The Clyde River estuary sits on the lands of the Yuin people, who have fished and traveled these waters for thousands of years; European settlement later developed fisheries and oyster leases that shape the harbour today.
Conservation
The Clyde River is ecologically sensitive—stay clear of mangrove roots and oyster leases, take all rubbish with you, and follow guide instructions to minimize disturbance.
