Capricorn Seakayaking

Description

Paddling a sea kayak is a unique and intimate way to explore both Penguin and Seal Island. Get up close and personal with the sea lions, cruise past colonies of pelicans and take in the rugged islands. Tours are led by a qualified instructor who will take you on a guided walk and snorkelling (in the warmer summer months) on Penguin Island. Sometimes we even see the dolphins! It's a fun filled day suitable for beginners and advanced paddlers.
