Australia Sea Kayak Trips
Your Adventure Down Under Begins Here
Australia offers a huge variety of paddling opportunities along its extensive and pristine coastline. Southern Sea Ventures offer sea kayak trips on the tropical north-east coast of Queensland (Hinchinbrook), to the dry west coast of Western Australia (Abrolhos Islands, Shark Bay, Ningaloo Reef) and south to wild and rugged Tasmania (Freycinet, Tasman Peninsula’s and Bruny Island).
As Australia has a variety of climate zones we have a destination for every season. Choose to head north or west for the warm weather or stay down south for a more temperate holiday. At each destination you’ll discover amazing sea and landscapes, ancient indigenous culture and a sense of freedom in our vast wilderness, all while staying at remote campsites or secluded accommodation.
Sea Kayak Tasmania
Our local kayak guides will introduce you to sea kayaking on the wild coastlines and tranquil bays of Bruny Island and Tasman Peninsula. Be rewarded with untouched wilderness, uncrowded beaches, craggy coastlines and unique wildlife, in the sea, on land and in the skies above. Whichever one (or two) of our lodge or base camp, sea kayak escapes you choose, the experience is sure to refresh the senses. Join us on a shorter escape, or combine two trips for the ultimate Tasmanian sea kayak adventure. Contact our office for details.
