Freycinet 4 Day kayak, walk & cruise
Description
In true expedition style, we carry all of our equipment and food in our kayaks - with our ultimate destination governed by nature's forces.
To begin the adventure, we will collect you from Hobart and drive up the east coast to Coles Bay, a small coastal town bordering Freycinet National Park on Tasmania's east coast. This is the perfect location to pack our sea kayaks and learn the safety and paddling skills that will become second nature in the days to follow. As we set off in our stable double kayaks along the Hazards Range, the park's spectacular scenery will have you hooked within moments of departure.
Over the four days we take you on a journey to the southern reaches of the Peninsula and magnificent Schouten Island (weather permitting). We have plenty of opportunity to explore the pink granite coastline punctuated by the pristine white sand beaches. The coastal wilderness shows little evidence of the whaling, mining and grazing that was once undertaken here.
Each night we choose a beachside location to set up camp and enjoy fresh meals prepared by your guides in a unique wilderness setting. We strongly believe that great food is an essential part of your experience and pride ourselves on preparing meals of fresh Tasmanian produce.
There are many coastal walks to enjoy, including the opportunity to walk to the world famous Wineglass Bay, voted one of the top ten beaches in the world by Outside Magazine (USA). If you're feeling more adventurous and conditions allow, the hikes up Mt. Freycinet (Freycinet Peninsula) or Bear Hill (Schouten Island) provide rewarding spectacular views.
On day 4, after a relaxing morning, we return to Coles Bay early afternoon by Aqua Taxi*. After returning you to Hobart we bid you a peaceful journey home, rejuvenated and with memories you will treasure for years.
Meeting point and supplier's details are provided immediately after booking.
