About this tour
Paddle out across Jervis Bay's crystalline waters on a five-hour morning expedition, exploring secluded beaches and coastal inlets from sea level. You'll navigate between stretches of pale sand while staying alert for seals, dolphins and seasonal whale migrations. The pace suits paddlers with moderate fitness; guides handle all safety kit and lead you through sheltered routes that reveal the bay's quieter corners.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the morning in the kayak, switching between steady paddling and drifting to watch wildlife. The route sticks to protected waters where swell is minimal, so even moderate paddlers handle the conditions. Your guide carries safety gear and steers you toward sheltered bays where seals haul out and seabirds congregate. Between efforts, you'll float with morning tea and snacks aboard. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed—it depends on season and conditions—but the bay's ecosystem keeps things interesting.
Good to know
Book during whale migration season (May–November) for better sighting odds. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat; the water reflects intensely. Moderate fitness means comfortable paddling for several hours with breaks. Wetsuits aren't mentioned but water can be cool; check with operators about layering.
