About the event

What to Expect on Your Kayak Adventure

Duration: The kayak adventure lasts approximately 2 hours, offering plenty of time to explore and take in the stunning scenery. 

Swimming Opportunities: On sunny days, we often stop for a swim at a secluded beach, where you can cool off in the soft waters of the creek. 

Wildlife & History: Paddle through a region rich in history and teeming with diverse wildlife, including seals, sea birds, and more. The river’s unique saltwater environment means you’re likely to spot a wide range of marine species.

Scenic Location: When exploring Frenchman’s Creek, every moment of this adventure offers unforgettable views.
