Awesome experience to Seal island

We absolutely loved our day kayaking to Seal island, Bird island and Peron point. Carl was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. The location for snorkelling was perfect. There was as so much to see. Carl provided a delicious morning tea and lunch and we highly recommend this experience. Thanks Carl.
Great Ecoadventure for teens

The water around the marine park were very neat and despite being a novice canoeist who is a non- swimmer. Carl was a great guide who helped us kayak around the park to explore the island. We also learnt many interesting facts about the wildlife around the park. Great experience snorkeling and equipment for kayaking too. The morning tea and picnic lunch at the penguin island was also lovely. A great family holiday.
Top Day on the Water

Excellent from start to a very novel finish. There were six people plus Tom on our trip and none of us were greatly experienced but, apart from clocking up extra distance on the water trying to figure out how the rudder controls worked, the kayaking was relatively easy. You do need to be able to help out unloading and loading of the kayaks but the doubles have four handles so not too hard with four people.
Lunch, a very informative walk around Penguin Island and a relaxed but professional guide make this a fantastic experience.
Probably best to have to have some paddling experience but eminently doable for young and old (I'm in the old category)
Lastly, connecting the four kayaks together and using the lunch tablecloth tied to two oars to enable us to sail "back to Australia" was epic and highly recommended.

What a great day! My sister and I were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour and we had a great time! Paddling out to Seal Island and the on to Penguin Island. Just 2 older ladies and our wonderful guide. The day was clear but windy so there was a little “chop” on the bay but the kayaks are very stable.
After arriving on Penguin Island we had morning tea, watched the penguin feeding, walked around the island (amazing bird activity on the island), followed by a lovely lunch. Then it was time for a nice paddle back. We still are smiling from this adventure!

I've been kayaking many times before this. I'm a young, fairly fit female and was pretty confident as we set out. This trip was guided by Tom and a new hire, Ben. The weather was beautiful and the trip over to the islands was easy. Unfortunately the tide was extremely low and because of this, we could not snorkel at penguin Island. Tom was very knowledgeable.
On the way back, I was paired with someone who struggled to steer and therefore so we veered off course in fairly strong winds. I had to flag down Ben to help us get back on track by towing. The group had to help unload and load the kayaks onto the trailer as well as back and forth on the sand to stay on schedule. Perhaps a little more info on the nature of the activity involved would help to filter those who are not physically capable or willing to assist. Perhaps also a couple more minutes spent on how to steer for those in the front of the kayak to assist less capable paddlers if mismatched. Otherwise, good trip!
