2 Hour Hobart Kayaking Tour

Get a different perspective on one of the world’s most beautiful harbour cities on the Hobart Paddle, a kayaking tour along Hobart’s shoreline. On this relaxed, two-hour tour you’ll experience a journey of fun, serenity and some of the best fish and chips you’ve ever tasted.

Gliding across the waters of the Derwent Estuary, you’ll follow Hobart’s shoreline to explore historic Battery Point, vibrant Salamanca and the bustling docks of the city’s waterfront.

Learn about Tasmania’s historic capital from your experienced guides as you weave among tall ships, working fishing boats, sleek yachts and modern cruisers. Work up an appetite in time to enjoy some of Hobart’s legendary fish and chips straight from a dockside fish punt – you won’t even have to leave your kayak.

Everyone gathers at Sandy Bay, has a briefing and is geared up with their paddling equipment – life jacket, double kayak and paddles. If you are travelling solo, they will match you up with someone to share the work. The speed you travel is set by the group, but there is so much to see it’s generally pretty mellow.
