Explore the South Pacific by Kayak

South Pacific Kayak Tours allow you to explore island landscapes that cannot be reached by road.

Paddling between limestone islands in Palau, drifting above coral reefs in Fiji, navigating volcanic coastlines in Indonesia and exploring remote waters in the Solomon Islands offers a rare perspective of the Pacific from sea level.

Southern Sea Ventures has operated in this region for decades, including more than thirty years leading kayaking trips in Fiji’s Yasawa Islands. Each journey is professionally guided and structured to balance exploration, comfort and safety.

Trip formats include liveaboard vessels, expedition cruise ships, shore based camping and village supported expeditions.

Sea Kayak Fiji

Fiji is an island nation made up of more than three hundred islands spread across the South Pacific. The Yasawa group is a chain of islands located north west of Fiji’s main island Viti Levu and remains one of the most spectacular areas to explore by sea kayak.

Southern Sea Ventures has operated kayaking trips in the Yasawa Islands for more than thirty years. Our journeys explore coral reefs, secluded beaches and island villages while travelling between the islands by kayak.

Warm waters, vibrant marine life and welcoming island communities make Fiji one of the most memorable South Pacific kayaking destinations.

Sea Kayak Indonesia

Our trips are carefully designed to blend thrilling sea kayaking and diving with engaging cultural and natural experiences. Each location offers something unique: the mystical atmosphere of the Togean Islands, the remote Banggai archipelago, the biodiversity of Raja Ampat’s underwater world and the dramatic landscapes of Komodo National Park. Whether you’re paddling past ancient mangrove forests or alongside dramatic volcanic coastlines, our Indonesian adventures promise unforgettable memories and unparalleled adventures in some of the world’s most exotic waters.

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than seventeen thousand islands with nearly one hundred thousand kilometres of coastline, creating one of the world’s most diverse paddling environments.

Southern Sea Ventures kayaking expeditions explore locations such as the Togean Islands in Sulawesi, the remote Banggai archipelago, Raja Ampat and the UNESCO listed Komodo National Park.

These journeys combine sea kayaking with snorkelling, diving and expedition cruising through coral reefs, mangrove forests and volcanic island landscapes.

Sea Kayak Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands are situated in the South Pacific between Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. Using a liveaboard vessel as our base camp, we kayak, snorkel and dive on the voyage between Honiara and Munda, an expansive region known for tropical islands, coral reefs and historic WWII wrecks.

Kayaking allows us to glide over shallow reefs, land on isolated beaches and trek through lush forest to hidden waterfalls. The snorkelling and diving are exceptional and we spend as much time exploring beneath the water as paddling across it.

Sea Kayak Micronesia

Situated in the western Pacific Ocean, Palau is the easternmost archipelago in the Micronesian Islands. It consists of more than three hundred limestone islands covered in lush forests and surrounded by an expansive lagoon.

This remarkable marine landscape features tropical beaches, clear turquoise waters, exotic birdlife and one of the world’s most spectacular marine habitats.
