Tasmania is one of those places that gives you whip lash; around each corner is a sight more heart stopping than the last. Couple that with driving on the “wrong” side of the street, and it’s just downright dangerous to be an American down there. It’s impossible to say the Freycinet National Park is a “must see”; that would subjugate... More

We loved our kayaking trip and enjoyed talking with our two guides. The area is beautiful and the kayaks were easy to paddle etc. We had beautiful weather too.

My husband & daughter joined me on the twilight kayak tour in Hobart on March 24. We were warmly welcomed by our guide (sorry, can't remember his name) who gave detailed instructions prior to setting out. All necessary equipment was supplied including warm fleece jumpers & waterproof jackets. We paddled in double kayaks, my daughter with me & my husband... More

I was a little nervous about taking this tour but it was fantastic. I have never been in a kayak before and wondered if I would be able to paddle for the whole distance but it was suprisingly easy (even in choppy water). The kayaks were reassuringly stable and we were well equipped. Our guides, Jarrod and Tellina were very... More

Thanks hobartjand for your feedback! It is always great to hear about someone's first time, as I think many people are nervous about booking, just like you were. Like you said though, it is suprisingly easy (and part of the beauty of double kayaks too). So glad you had a great time, and don't forget to mention you've paddled with... More

This was a fabulous way to spend a Saturday morning with a group of mates. The tour guide was excellent, had a thorough knowledge of the area, was more than willing to help a novice such as myself and kept things moving without being pushy. The quality of the morning tea was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. While there is... More

Wow! This was a thrilling experience, especially for me who has never been a keen water participant and not a great swimmer! The weather looked inclement all day and I was pretty sure we wouldn't be going, however our guide assured us when we arrived at 4pm for the twilight paddle that all would be good, so we placed our...
