Spend a full day sea kayaking, snorkelling, swimming, exploring and relaxing within the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park! Paddling a sea kayak is a unique and intimate way to explore Penguin & Seal Islands, as we get up close and personal with the sea lions, cruise past colonies of pelicans and take in the rugged islands. Kayaking Tour is led by a qualified instructor who will also take you on a guided walk and snorkelling on Penguin Island. Sometimes we even see the dolphins! It’s a fun filled day suitable for beginners and advanced paddlers .... and it's a great way to meet other Adventurous Women ® ™!
● Visiting the sea lions at Seal Island often that often swim and jump playfully amongst the kayaks!
● Silently gliding over shallow reefs, exploring secluded bays and getting up close to the islands all within an easy 700 metre to 1km distance offshore - easy paddling for beginners!
● Getting a close up water level view of the marine life.
● Swimming from beautiful sandy beaches and snorkelling colourful reefs with your tour guide.
● Seeing the little penguins at the Discovery Centre and then enjoying an island picnic lunch under the trees overlooking sweeping views of the marine park.

Another excellent trip organised by AW. Really enjoyed all aspects of the day. Really well organised - Sue and Neri were fantastic guides and hosts. They made it lots of fun and we all learnt lots too. Thanks AW. I'll be back.
