Hobart’s iconic waterfront … from a different perspective.

Nestled between river and mountain, Hobart has one of the most picturesque harbours in the world. Join our 2.5-hour city paddle and we’ll take you behind the scenes of this vibrant, working waterfront to discover the true heart of Hobart. 

Your discovery of Hobart wouldn’t be complete without some locally caught fish and chips from the city’s famed floating fish punts. Enjoy them with the best view in town - straight from your kayak!

No paddling experience is necessary and this paddle is suitable for younger paddlers who can team up with an adult or one of our guides.

Get up-close and personal with the southern hemisphere’s highest sea cliffs and resident Australian fur seals.

At sea level you’ll truly appreciate the scale of Australia’s highest sea cliffs, gazing up at 200-metre-high fluted rock formations, peering into natural sea caves, photographing the towering Candlestick, and searching for the abundant marine wildlife that lives along this coast.

If you are unsure if this paddle is suitable for you, please contact us or check out our Hobart's Cliffs, Caves and Beaches full-day paddle.  Not recommended for children under 16.
