About this tour
Paddle beneath Australia's most dramatic sea cliffs on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula. This 10-hour kayaking expedition takes you to 200-metre vertical rock faces, hidden sea caves, and colonies of fur seals. You'll navigate from water level, where the true scale of these fluted sandstone walls becomes apparent, and spot the Totem Pole—a needle-thin rock pinnacle that draws climbers from around the world. The tour includes a local guide, stable double kayaks, all safety gear, meals and refreshments.

What to expect
Expect a full day on the water with two experienced paddlers per stable kayak. You'll launch from the Tasman Peninsula and spend hours navigating past towering cliff faces, peering into sea caves carved into the rock, and watching for wildlife. The paddling is steady rather than intense, but demands sustained physical effort and comfort in open water. Weather and tidal conditions shape the exact route, so your guide adapts accordingly. Lunch breaks are built in, and you're dressed in wetsuits and fleeces to stay warm.

Bring a reusable water bottle for refilling. High fitness level essential—this isn't beginner kayaking. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, cardiovascular concerns, or are pregnant.
