MIDWEEK DAY TRIPS
Tasman Peninsula Day Tour
If you are looking to paddle a dramatic coastline with sea caves and swell this day trip is for you. After a pick-up in Hobart, we drive to Fortescue Bay located in the heart of the Tasman National Park. With favourable weather, we’ll paddle along the cliff edge towards Cape Huoy and the Candle Stick - keeping our eyes pealed for Australian Fur Seals that often reside on the rocks! We’ll have lunch at Canoe Bay before a short stroll to the cliff top to take in the view. Cruising back along the coast, we’ll pause by a semi-submerged shipwreck, and then it’s all eyes homeward as we head back to shore for our return drive to Hobart.
Date & Time: Monday - Friday 8:30am to 6:00pm
Cost: Adults $255 pp Minimum age 16.
(Minimum group size is 2 adults) Includes: Return transport from Hobart, Gourmet Lunch, refreshments & snacks. Please inform us of any dietary preferences when booking.
Channel Day Tour
This is a great way to escape Hobart for a day, get some exercise and explore the scenic coves of the nearby D'Entrecasteaux Channel. Monday to Friday we provide transport from Hobart to our waterfront kayaking centre in Kettering. After some basic instruction the group will make the short crossing to Bruny Island by kayak! Once safely on the other side of the channel we head south along the island visiting one of Tasmania's many Atlantic Salmon farms before landing on a smaller island for a lazy lunch. When the afternoon breeze beckons, we commence our return, surfing the small waves back to Kettering.

WEEKEND DAY TRIPS
Hobart is spoilt by having some of the world's best sea kayaking at its doorstep! Every weekend throughout summer we offer a day trip to let you experience the best of the south east's waterways (see D'Entrecasteaux Channel & Bruny Island).
Most of these trips are suitable for first time kayakers and are the perfect next step after our beginner lesson. We paddle mostly in protected waters and cover distances of 10 to 15 kilometres.
Some favorites include; the Iron Pot Lighthouse, Port Arthur, Fortescue Bay and anything on Bruny Island.
Pricing structure
On the weekends we reduce our prices to attract greater local participation. We can do this by having you provide your own food and transport. Participants with their own sea kayak receive a further discount of $20 per day (Note: Kayaks must meet our safety standards). If you really get the paddling bug then joining Roaring 40's frequent paddling club will save you even more!
