Take to the magical waters of Cape Tribulation Bay in our sturdy one or two person kayaks and explore the unique environment of where the rainforest meets the reef.
Your experienced local guide will introduce you to the Cape's amazing variety of land and marine wildlife and lead you around the magnificent Cape Tribulation headland and onto Myall Beach.
After morning tea we paddle back around the Cape and fringing coral reefs, taking in the stunning views. Coconut husking awaits our return.

The Sunset Trek

This sea kayaking tour allows you to escape the heat of the day for a 2.5 hour paddle in Cape Tribulation Bay.
Enjoy the solitude because at this time of the day we get the whole place to ourselves. Watch the sky light up as the sun sets behind Mt. Sorrow.
There is only one place where the sunset is visible in Cape Trib and that is from the ocean, all the landlubbers miss out.
And some days you can even see a cassowary walk along the beach!
