Kayak Turtle Tour

Had a great day doing the kayak turtle tour. We saw turtles, dolphins, a baby shark, lots of fish and coral and some sting rays. We paddled, swam and snorkelled. Luke was a great tour guide using the wind and tides to make for a great adventure.

Spend the morning with turtles!

We loved the Pacific Water Sports Kayak half day tour. We saw many turtles and were even lucky enough to swim with one when we snorkelled off Double Point Island!

Awesome experience

Andy and his team are friendly and informative. The tour is relaxing and fun out onto the reef and across to Double Island. We saw turtles and some others saw reef fish when we stopped for a snorkel around the island. I was surprised how easy it was to kayak and being unfit, I didn't get puffed out or sore muscles afterwards. Highly recommend this morning tour, what a peaceful and great experience away from it all.

Awesome morning

Watch out for the sharp barnacles. best morning my 13yr old son and I had together in a long time. Lots to see. Andrew was helpful when my son cut himself on a barnacle rock. Even that didn't spoil our morning. So much fun

Absolutely incredible

The kayak turtle tour was the highlight of our Cairns trip. Luke was extremely knowledgeable and took us to several locations on the island. We saw a lot of interesting wildlife and overall I would highly recommend.
