Sea Kayak Adventure Day Tour- Vic (Phillip Island)

Face the great ocean from sea level. No machines or fossil fuels, only salt spray, rolling water, sea birds and companions. Smooth strokes propel the sleek craft as they slice through the swell. Dolphins and seals sometimes swim around unperturbed by our presence.

Woolamai Waters (Phillip Island) offers sheltered conditions for most of the year. Paddle past huge granite cliffs (reminiscent of Wilson's Promontory's landscape) and paddle into sea caves. Beginners and experienced paddlers will find this area a real adventure. Sea life abounds with seals, penguins and the occasional pod of dolphins. The Lunch spot is a real "corker". This trip 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 safety briefing including a dry capsize drill. Once you have done a few warm up stretches you will be paired up into paddling partners. Most sea kayaks are double sea kayaks (Pittaraks) with a couple of single kayaks available for the more experienced paddlers in the group. After going though some basic strokes for 30 - 60 minutes (depending on the skill level of group). You'll set out on the adventure paddling as one group. Commentary on environmental features and local history is provided. Sights that may be seen 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. The group then returns to the start, gear is packed away and you can change into some warm clothes.

Customers need to sign an indemnity form and medical form before they commence the trip. Dry bags are supplied for camera equipment and mobile phones. All staff have a sea kayaking guide or instructors qualification, level 2 first aid or wilderness first aid and at least 5 years experience.
