Tasman Peninsula Day Tour
If you are looking to paddle a dramatic coastline with sea caves and swell this day trip is for you. After a pick-up in Hobart, we drive to Fortescue Bay located in the heart of the Tasman National Park. With favourable weather, we’ll paddle along the cliff edge towards Cape Huoy and the Candle Stick - keeping our eyes pealed for Australian Fur Seals that often reside on the rocks! We’ll have lunch at Canoe Bay before a short stroll to the cliff top to take in the view. Cruising back along the coast, we’ll pause by a semi-submerged shipwreck, and then it’s all eyes homeward as we head back to shore for our return drive to Hobart.

Channel Day Tour
This is a great way to escape Hobart for a day, get some exercise and explore the scenic coves of the nearby D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Monday to Friday we provide transport from Hobart to our waterfront kayaking centre in Kettering. After some basic instruction the group will make the short crossing to Bruny Island by kayak! Once safely on the other side of the channel we head south along the island visiting one of Tasmania's many Atlantic Salmon farms before landing on a smaller island for a lazy lunch. When the afternoon breeze beckons, we commence our return, surfing the small waves back to Kettering.
