Tours, sightseeing tours, activities & things to do | Viator.comHobart Sea Kayaking Tour
Step off the streets of Hobart and pick up a paddle! Experience this harbour city from a completely different perspective - by sea kayak.
You will paddle in small groups along the shoreline of historic Battery Point to Salamanca and "The Docks".
Be part of the vibrant waterfront as you glide past historic tall ships, fishing boats and modern yachts. Not only will you learn about the city, the mountain and the docks but also enjoy a snack of Hobart's legendary fish and chips straight from one of the punts without even having to get out of your kayak.
Your professional, relaxed guides provide all the equipment and instruction you need before taking you out to explore in stable double kayaks. From the moment you set off you will be amazed at the stability of the kayaks and unique perspective that sea kayaking offers.
Your guide loves this beautiful part of the world and look forward to sharing stories of its culture to enhance your adventure. With every trip, safety is a priority and everyone has a relaxed time in an enjoyable atmosphere and the environment is respected. The kayak tours are about good times, not hard work!
