Your kayaking adventure begins when we set off from Palm Cove and paddle across crystal clear waters surrounded by picture perfect islands and dazzling reefs.

The more adventurous are welcome to use the snorkel sets provided and discover the islands magical underwater world. After some island time we will return to the kayaks and go off in search of the magnificent sea turtles. An awesome experience where you’ll get to drift along the reefs and see the turtles come up for breath!
Next up is a visit to the secluded Double Island where we will stop for a bite to eat and guests are welcome to swim and snorkel the calm turquoise waters. After some fun on the island, we will kayak to limestone cave and, conditions permitting, enter the cave which boasts a small beach on the inside and stalactites on the ceiling. We will then journey onto a pristine white sandy beach where we can spot an array of marine life including Blue Spotted Lagoon Rays and Shovel Nose Sharks. Here, we will take a stroll to the mangroves and you can even sample the areas delicious oysters straight from the rocks!
After an epic day, we will make the return journey home. If the weather pemits, we will journey back through Buchans Point/Elis Beach where your return transport to Palm Cove will be waiting. Alternatively, if the wind is down, we will make our way directly back to Palm Cove.

A MUST DO!
Andy and the boys are extremely helpful and patient. Anyone with or without experience can do this tour as they explained everything and provided help when needed. They know the area so well and they are very knowledgeable of tides and winds to make sure we were all safe. We were lucky to be able to taste an oyster that they just caught from the rocks and also a small fruit from a nearby shrub. Will do it again without hesitation.
