About this tour
Spend ten hours paddling around Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, where you'll drift beneath Australia's tallest sea cliffs and search for fur seals among weathered rock formations. From your kayak, you'll study the sheer geometry of 200-metre cliffs, slip into sea caves, and spot climbers tackling the famous Totem Pole. This is geology and wildlife from the vantage point where it matters most—right at water level.
Highlights
- Paddle beneath 200-metre sea cliffs and fluted rock faces
- Spot Australian fur seals in their natural habitat
- Explore sea caves and natural rock formations
- Watch climbers on the legendary Totem Pole
- Double kayaks, wetsuits and safety gear provided

What to expect
This is a full-day paddle, not a casual float. You'll launch into open water and spend hours reading swells, managing a two-person kayak, and maintaining concentration. The paddling itself is steady rather than punishing, but cumulative—your shoulders, core and legs will feel it by day's end. Weather and sea state dictate where you go; some days the caves stay inaccessible. Expect wildlife sightings without guarantees: fur seals are often around, but you're on their schedule. The cliffs dominate visually; it's genuinely humbling to look straight up from water level at that much vertical rock.
Good to know
Bring a reusable water bottle for refills. The tour suits confident swimmers with solid fitness; spinal injuries, pregnancy, and cardiovascular issues are contraindications. Arrange your own transport to the meeting point—no hotel pickups. Dress in layers; it's cool and changeable on the water. Double kayaks are stable but require basic paddling coordination.
