Kayak in Byron Bay

{0 Comments}

Before Byron Bay became Australia’s hotspot for surfing, yoga, beach life, celebrities and backpacking, it was and remains a gorgeous turquoise-coloured inlet with a resident pod of dolphins and migrating humpback whales. Dip your toes into those “soothing Byron salts” as you paddle out to greet marine life in a three-person sea kayak, guided by local characters to help you experience Byron’s nature at its finest. Kayak on the crests of waves back to the shore. You’ll never forget the first time you surfed on a sea kayak in Byron Bay.

Note from Robin :
Byron Bay is home to a residential group of bottlenose dolphins which is estimated to have 100 dolphins in population.It's rare to not see dolphins during your sea kayak tour. So rare in fact that Go Sea Kayak will give you another trip for free if you miss them. Whale watching season begins in early June and continues right through to early November each year. Don't miss the opportunity to paddle out among the migrating humpbacks.
