Great outing in Byron bay

Published on Jan, 2025

Great morning out on the water with a guided team supporting us every step of the way. As we didn’t see any dolphins there was an offer to return anytime for free.

Great scenery and fun time

Published on Dec, 2024

Came for the 1:00pm tour on 29/12/2024. What a nice experience it was, arrived 15 mins early as per request of booking and was greeted by all of the staff there, I have forgotten the main tour guides nickname but he was a very intelligent man with his job, he took us all down to the beach after we were given helmets, life jackets and paddles. he took us through a guide of how to paddle properly if people didn’t know how, and showed the precautions to if you capsized or were in trouble, we began our journey off the beach and made our way around the edge of the water adjacent the lighthouse, we spotted two pods of dolphins and we were able to get relatively close to the dolphins to spectate their beauty, we also saw two leopard sharks as well on the journey to the dolphins, after we were there at the dolphins for about 30 mins we made our way back to the beach where we caught a wave into the shore and got out of our kayaks. After everyone was on shore we were given Tim tams as promised and concluded our tour, it was an amazing tour and all the other tour guides accompanying the main tour guide were very respectful, up for a chat and also were very knowledgeable. I would 100% recommend this tour for tourists or just people wanting to get closer to dolphins, just make sure to have sunscreen!! It also says on their website if you don’t see dolphins or whales you can come back for another tour free of charge!!

Awesome Day in Byron Bay :)

Published on Dec, 2024

I think this is a tour that everyone should do when visiting Byron Bay! It's a unique experience and a lot of fun! The guides were also very funny and helpful!

Amazing fun tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Really fun experience and felt 1000% safe! The guides were so fun and kind- I was nervous since I was traveling solo. Also, I was worried I might not make the tour because I had to take a bus down from Queensland, and the bus was a little late. I really appreciated the communication and that they were going to try to wait a few minutes for me, although it turned out I made it ok. This trip is really great for beginners - you will be able to relax and have fun!

Fun fun fun

Published on Dec, 2024

I've lived in Byron in the 80s and 90s. This my first time kayaking and it was everything. The guide paddled and we even caught a wave at Wategoes. It was so much fun. Seen dolphins and it was worth every cent. Just wish they posted my photo. Take a waterproof case to take photos. Byron is spectacular from water. Julian rock is the head of the rainbow serpent and mount Warning is his body. Sensational view.
