Top Tasmania Kayaking Tours

Explore Hobart from the water on a kayak tour with an experienced guide. You have three options to choose from when booking: a 2.5-hour tour from central Hobart, a 7-hour tour past cliffs, caves and beaches or a 10-hour Tasman Peninsula tour. You’ll either admire Hobart’s bustling waterfront along the River Derwent, or take in the scenic wilderness outside the city on one of the full-day adventures. Learn paddling techniques from your guide, who also provides narration about the city and surrounding region.

Glide along the Tamar River toward Cataract Gorge on a scenic 90-minute kayak tour from Launceston. Use your feet to drive the pedal-powered canoe, and follow your guide along the North Esk River and Tamar with your hands free to steer and snap photos. Admire the North Esk waterfront, cruise under the King’s Bridge, and paddle along the lower Cataract Gorge to admire the rugged cliffs and forested slopes and watch for wildlife. Choose multiple session daily departure to suit your schedule. Numbers are limited for a small-group experience.

Explore the natural beauty of Hobart at Storm Bay, where you can kayak near the lichen- covered cliffs, through sea caves, and spend some time on the gorgeous beaches.

You’ll also get to share an included lunch, snacks, and refreshments along the journey.
