Discovery Kayak Tour

Port Stephens Kayak Adventure

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.
