About this tour

Paddle out from Freycinet's shores on a three-hour guided sea kayak journey through Tasmania's most striking coastal landscape. You'll navigate between pink granite peaks and white sand in stable double kayaks, spotting local wildlife and hearing stories from guides who know this park intimately. Midway through, beach up on a quiet stretch for hot coffee and fresh pastries before heading back.

Highlights

  • Pink granite mountains and pristine white-sand beaches
  • Stable double kayaks suitable for beginners and families
  • Encounter local wildlife in their natural setting
  • Midway beach break with hot beverages and gourmet treats
  • All gear provided including wetsuits and dry bags
  • Local history and coastal ecology from experienced guides

What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the put-in, get fitted with warm jackets and equipment, then launch into clear Tasmanian waters. The paddle is steady-paced, with your guide pointing out rock formations, seabirds and any passing marine life while sharing lesser-known details about the park's heritage. Around halfway, you'll pull ashore on a secluded beach to stretch and warm up with freshly brewed tea or coffee and a quality biscuit. The return leg follows a similar rhythm—no rushing, just time to absorb the landscape from water level.
