Discovery Kayak Tour

Join us on this 3 hr picturesque paddle where you’ll journey beyond the boundaries, whilst experiencing our local Marine Park through the perspective of the adventurous. This experience will provide an ultimate outlook on the Port Stephens ecosystem, and may include some close contact with natural awesomeness. Our knowledgeable Guide will lead you on a path that meanders coves and coastlines, as well as those little pockets where sea turtles sometimes glide, birds of prey commonly perch, and where resident dolphins are known to feed.

Our tours are an eco-based adventure as a priority, using kayaks as a means to experience the natural highlights of Port Stephens in a way that does not disrupt the local ecosystem. We only allow a maximum of 8 persons on our tours as we feel that small is better when it comes to safety and sustainability.

Our tours only run when we’re sure we can fulfill the promise of a comfortable, safe, and awe-inspiring experience, but please expect to paddle for a long distance and away from the shoreline.

If you’re an adventurous early riser who’s done a bit of long distance kayaking before, then this tour will be the one which will provide you with memorable rewards which are worth talking about.

Plus, to finish off your exploring experience, you'll be provided with a voucher which offers a Complimentary Coffee or beverage of your choice, at The Cafe @ Shoaly, just 2 doors away from our shop location.

About

Refreshments provided! Courtesy of The Cafe @ Shoaly.

Kayaking Port Stephens with our experienced and qualified guide provides you with the opportunity to experience SO MUCH MORE than renting. Our guides possess a broad knowledge of the Port Stephens waterways, such as the knowledge of wind, tide, currents, where dolphins and other wildlife are commonly seen, where to go and where not to go, and much more. All this knowledge can make your time on the water a fun, safe and rewarding experience.

Despite our tours being designed for all levels of kayaking experience and those with a reasonable fitness level, we do ask you to bring an adventurous spirit and kindly ask those who wish to try kayaking for the first time under instructional guidance to consider our rentals which remain within more sheltered easy going waters.
