Overview
This kayak tour is a half day sampler of what sea kayaking is all about. We operate both morning and afternoon trips. St Kilda is a lively coastal Melbourne town that is great to see from your kayak. Observe the cityscape, paddle close to yachts and ferries while taking in views to St Kilda.
You will be paddling in a double sea kayak for stability, speed and safety. Single kayaks are also available for the more experienced.
There are plenty of opportunities at the end of the kayak tour to visit one of many inner city restaurants along the coast for lunch or dinner; so why not make a day of it!
Remember to bring your bathers, thermal top or 'rashy', water bottle, wet suit boots/old runners or sandals (not thongs). We will supply a spray jacket, thermal top, PFD and spray deck.
