Weather dependency

Poor weather (e.g. winds over 20 knots, lightning etc) will prevent trips from proceeding. SKA staff will assess if the weather will is suitable for a trip two days before its scheduled start and contact you to confirm the trip. Occasionally, a trip may be cancelled. An alternative date will then be arranged, however no refund will be issued if a suitable date cannot be arranged within 4 months of the original scheduled trip.

What we provide

A safe trip with qualified and experienced guides. You'll enjoy fantastic scenery, wildlife (sea eagles, dolphins, seals etc) with fresh air. You'll have good fun, and experience the relaxation and fitness benefits that sea kayaking offers.
We provide the use of double and single sea kayaks, paddle, life jacket, spray skirt, water proof jacket, pump, dry bags (for water proofing clothes and sleeping bag for multi-day trips).
We supply safety gear and emergency procedures organised by the guide (e.g. first aid kit, spare paddle, EPIRB, VHF radio, mobile phone and satellite phones where applicable).
|
|
|
What you need to bring / provide
|
|
Clothes to paddle in (spray jacket supplied), dry clothes to change into at the end of the day. Sea Kayak Australia will contact you and supply you with a "What to bring check list".
|
|
|
Requirements and restrictions
|
You require no previous paddling experience to go on this tour, but you must be able to swim at least 100 metres non-stop.
Reasonable fitness levels will increase your enjoyment, however the tour can be tailored to suite the group's general fitness level. Sea kayaking is about technique not muscle bulk. The sea kayak guide will factor in when rest stops and snack breaks should be taken to ensure energy levels are maintained.

|
|
Other information
|
On average we paddle 3 km on this day, or 2 hours. However, times and distances depend on the weather, tides, activities along the way, group fitness and skill.
SKA has single and double sea kayaks. The double sea kayaks are "Pittaraks" which are fast (6.6 m long) ocean going sea kayaks. These sea kayaks are also very stable with ample storage space and are equipped with a rudder for easy turning. The single kayaks are Q Kayak "Penguins". Participants would normally be placed in a double sea kayak for safety and group speed considerations rather than in single kayaks.
