Kayak Adventure

Paddle into the wild

Discover stunning views and wildlife along the Freycinet coastline.

The Experience

Get close to nature and explore the Freycinet coastline, paddling through crystalline waters with a private guided kayak tour. Your guide will pick you up with your kayaks at Picnic Island, giving you a quick safety briefing before you set out.

Glide beneath pink granite mountains, past pristine sandy beaches and across waters so clear you feel you can touch the marine life below.

Experience Freycinet’s abundant wildlife as you weave along the coastline, enjoying little-known stories of the area from your passionate guides along the way.

This three-hour kayak adventure includes a stop on a secluded beach for fresh-brewed coffee and tasty snacks—or a picnic breakfast or lunch prepared by your private chef.

The Freycinet Ecosystem

One of Australia’s most diverse and pristine marine ecosystems.

Along the Freycinet National Park coastline, the convergence of warm and cool ocean currents creates an extraordinary underwater sanctuary. These nutrient-rich waters support an abundance of life, from the delicate kelp forests that sway beneath the surface to the playful Australian fur seals that frequent the rocky outcrops.

The coastline serves as a vital breeding ground for Little Penguins, while pods of dolphins navigate the deeper channels and migrating whales pass through seasonal corridors. The pristine granite coastline, carved by millennia of Southern Ocean swells, proves perfect habitat for rock lobsters, abalone, and the prized blue mussels that cling to tidal platforms, creating a living larder that has sustained both wildlife and human communities for thousands of years.

This remarkable ecosystem remains largely untouched, protected by its remote location and the surrounding national park status, offering guests a rare glimpse into Tasmania’s marine wilderness as it has existed for centuries.
