Williamstown
is a vibrant sea side town steeped in history. Observe cargo ships, paddle amongst
yachts and jetties while ferries and sea planes hustle in and out of this port.
Tour options include paddling under the West Gate Bridge, paddling over the
channel to Sandridge Beach or paddle along the protected waters of Williamstown
foreshore. Get a taste for what sea kayaking is all about without travelling
to far out of town. Why not try out one of Williamstown’s many restaurants
after the tour and make a full day of it?
