  • Description
    • Full day Point Nepean Dolphin Sanctuary kayak tour including lunch
    • Opportunity to see dolphins
    • Tour of the former Quarantine Station

    Grab a paddle and explore from Sorrento to Point Nepean National Park during this full day kayaking tour. You'll be armed with all the equipment and guidance you need, and you'll likely encounter dolphins, seals, sea eagles and fish along the way. Lunch and drinks are provided half way at the former Quarantine Station. 

    Your adventure begins with a short discussion on the format for the day including lunch breaks, distance expected to kayak, and expected weather conditions. You are then kitted up with a PFD, spray deck, paddle jacket, thermals and a paddle before the all-important safety briefing including a dry capsize drill. Once you have done a few warm up stretches, you will be paired up into paddling partners.

    You'll then set out on the adventure paddling as one group, with knowledgable commentary on environmental features and local history. Sights you'll see along the way include dolphins, seals, sea eagles, fish, boat wrecks, historical buildings, marinas and yachts. Lunch and drinks are prepared for all participants about half way through the trip at the QLD Quarantine Station (a short tour of the former Quarantine Station is included). Then you'll return to the start, gear is packed away and you can change into some warm clothes.

    This adventure takes place between September to May, and is the perfect way to see the picturesque Sorrento locale.
