5.00Wife and I (75/74) thoroughly enjoyed our kayaking experience 2 great guides Santi and Val. Excellent initial guidance on the equipment and operations. And the tour was special. Santi was great at spotting sea creatures and we also saw an eagle. Temperatures were mild and the exercise quite manageable. We’d call it a Must Do for a visit to Freycinet Park
Absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend the sunset paddle.

5.00Stunning landscape in beautiful weather with fun, helpful guides- we all loved it! The waterproof skirts they use now even keep you dry in the kayak. Team one strong paddler behind one child or older family member- worked well for all including our 7 year old and 73 year old! Thanks Santi and Val - it was a gorgeous day out (:

5.00We had a great experience. Our tour leader Paul explained how to operate the kayak and provided safety instructions. It was a cool day but we were provided with fleece jackets and we were very comfortable during the tour. Part way through the tour we stopped for refreshments and time to rest. The tour was a highlight of our vacation !!
