This Sorrento Sea Kayaking adventure is for people who want to get away from it all! Your experience begins with a short discussion on the format for the day including lunch break, distance expected to paddle and weather conditions. You are then kitted up with a PFD, spray deck, paddle jacket, thermals and a paddle before the all important Kayak safety briefing including a dry capsize drill. Most sea kayaks are double sea kayaks with a couple of single kayaks available for the more experienced paddlers in the group.
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, commorants, fish, boat wrecks, historical buildings, marinas and yachts. Lunch and drinks are prepared for all participants about half way through the trip at the Old 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. Warning - kayaking is seriously addictive!
Both my husband and I loved the day. Lunch could have been better as stated earlier, but a fun experience, great workout and we would do it again. This was a wedding gift and a really good one. WE are still married!!!
Friendly and professional - excellent fun!
Kayaking was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable enough to even make sure we bumped into a pod of dolphins.
This was a fantastic experience, the staff were wonderfully friendly and professional, the scenery was great, and would most definitely go again!
NOTE: Wetsuits are not suitable for this adventure
Sorrento and Portsea are both historical seaside holiday resorts endowed with maritime and early settlement history. You can 'pass back in time' as you paddle along the foreshore, observing historical houses along the cliff tops, outdoor swimming enclosures, the former quarantine station and some historical shipping wrecks. As you move closer to Pt Nepean, built up areas are left and dolphins, sea eagles, cormorants etc. may be observed.
