Half Day Tours:

Docklands...
Get up and close to yachts, ferries and ships while taking in views of Victoria Harbour, South Bank and Westgate Bridge. Paddling in the morning, afternoon or at twilight is a great way to unwind after work or other commitments. Relax while taking in city views from the waters edge. Historical commentary on the old docks is also provided. There are plenty of opportunities at the end of the tour to visit one of the many Dockland restaurants. This tour is a sampler of what sea kayaking is like without getting too tired but still having fun.

Williamstown...
Williamstown is a vibrant sea side town steeped in history. Observe cargo ships, paddle amongst yachts and jetties while ferries and sea planes hustle in and out of this port. Tour options include paddling under the West Gate Bridge, paddling over the channel to Sandridge Beach or paddle along the protected waters of Williamstown foreshore. Get a taste for what sea kayaking is all about without travelling to far out of town. Why not try out one of Williamstown s many restaurants after the tour and make a full day of it?

St Kilda...
This tour is a sampler of what sea kayaking is like with out getting too tired and still having fun. St Kilda is a lively coastal Melbourne town, rich in maritime and port history. Observe the cityscape, paddle close to yachts and ferries, see penguins along the break water while taking in views of St Kilda and Port Melbourne.

Princes Bridge to Herring Island...
