About this tour
Paddle through Freycinet National Park's dramatic coastline on this three-hour guided sea kayak tour. You'll glide past rose-tinted granite peaks and pristine beaches from stable double kayaks, getting close to seabirds and marine life while your guide shares local stories and ecological insights. Midway through, you'll beach on a secluded cove for hot drinks and a gourmet biscuit. Designed for first-timers and families with moderate fitness, this fully-equipped experience includes all gear, park entry, and refreshments.

What to expect
You'll launch from the beach into calm, clear waters, paddling in tandem kayaks alongside your guide. The pace is unhurried—this isn't a fitness challenge but a chance to absorb the landscape at close range. You'll spot little penguins, seals, and seabirds without rushing past them. Around the halfway mark, you'll pull ashore on a secluded beach where a thermos of fresh coffee or tea and a homemade biscuit await. The return paddle follows the same route, so you'll see the light change across the granite peaks. Total paddling time is roughly two hours; the rest is floating, watching, and listening.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required; children need an adult in their kayak. Bring a light layer despite warm weather—spray happens. Tours run subject to weather; poor conditions trigger a full refund or reschedule. Arrange your own transport to the meeting point. Dry bags protect cameras and phones.
