Kayaking & Canoeing in Australia

Spend a day kayaking and snorkeling around the coral reefs of Ningaloo Marine Park on a full-day tour from Exmouth. A 45-minute drive takes you into Cape Range National Park where your guide provides all necessary gear and an introduction to kayaking and snorkeling basics. When ready, set off on the turquoise waters to see an abundance of marine life such as turtles, rays, reef sharks, colorful fish and the occasional dolphin or dugong. Your tour includes morning tea, lunch, snacks, snorkeling and kayaking gear, an informative guide and transportation.

Look for migrating whales as they cruise north and south along Australia's south coast on a 4-hour kayak tour from Batemans Bay. Explore the ocean in search of wildlife, with stops on secluded beaches and a return journey that visits rocky ledges and coves.

Kayaking can build up an appetite, so be prepared by booking a combined excursion that includes a kayaking tour with a visit to a pizza restaurant. Embark on a guided kayak tour of Bateman's Bay harbor, midway through which your pre-ordered choice of pizza is delivered directly to your floating craft. After refueling, continue on your adventure through the Clyde River National Park as your guide points out mangrove systems and the creatures that appear after dark.

Explore Hobart from the water on a kayak tour with an experienced guide. You have three options to choose from when booking: a 2.5-hour tour from central Hobart, a 7-hour tour past cliffs, caves and beaches or a 10-hour Tasman Peninsula tour. You'll either admire Hobart's bustling waterfront along the River Derwent, or take in the scenic wilderness outside the city on one of the full-day adventures. Learn paddling techniques from your guide, who also provides narration about the city and surrounding region.
