Enjoy the tranquillity of a kayak adventure around beautiful Magnetic Island in a single sea kayak. Paddle over the seagrass beds and coral gardens without disturbing the environment and enjoy a tropical breakfast on a secluded beach. We take only photos & leave only footprints!

After checking in, you will be given full instruction and a safety brief prior to being kitted out with a life jacket and spray deck. Next comes the exciting part of launching your sea kayak, where you will be given further instruction once afloat on how to control your current designs storm or squall single sea kayak at sea.

This activity is suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers.

The guided kayak tour takes over as you follow the rugged coastline of the island around to one of its northern bays, usually the secluded Balding Bay - a bay with no road access or perhaps the picturesque Radical Bay.

After pulling ashore, you will be given a tropical breakfast on the beach, time for relaxation and learn about the history and ecology of the island before launching for the return trip.

On the return journey, you will get to kayak within metres of huge granite boulders, search the coastline for its many wading and sea birds, watch huge birds of prey soar above you, or look and listen for a sea turtle surfacing to breathe close by.

You will return to Horseshoe Bay by approximately 12.30pm.
