Kayaking on Kangaroo Island, South Australia
For many visitors, the highlight of Kangaroo Island is a kayak adventure along the calm and meandering Harriet River. This river situated just behind Vivonne Bay stretches for five kilometres, giving you ample time to paddle at your own pace while taking in the variety of birds and other wildlife and plants. Indeed, the Harriet River is very calm, making this excursion suitable for all ages—including children as young as four or five. Younger kids can sit in the front of a double kayak while older paddlers take the backrest, so everyone can enjoy the peacefulness of Kangaroo Island together. Along the way, you may look for koalas in the eucalyptus trees or simply bask in the serenity of your surroundings.
A Fun Kayak Tour for Everyone
Our guided kayak tour is great for those who want an informative outing led by qualified kayak guides. They’ll demonstrate how to paddle forward, turn and stop, and identify hazards in the water, ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable journey. You’ll also have time to identify local flora and fauna along the abundant banks of the Harriet, spotting everything from colorful birds to playful echidnas. This tour with an experienced guide is great whether you’re traveling solo or with a partner or friend, and you’ll quickly see why it’s become a must-do for anyone keen to kayak in Kangaroo Island as you glide through natural wonders. It’s also a perfect way to relax after an active morning visiting nearby hotspots like Little Sahara or Vivonne Bay.
Kayak Hire for Independent Exploration
If you prefer to make your way, kayak hire is a convenient option. Simply launch the kayaks and choose between a single kayak or a double kayak. If you decide to sit at the front and let a more experienced paddler guide you, it’s easy to do so in a double kayak and enjoy the journey. Fancy letting someone else do the steering? Simply sit at the front of a double kayak and enjoy the ride while your paddling companion takes the helm. Whichever approach you choose, you’ll find that kayaks are the latest sit-on-top design for stability and comfort, making it easy for nearly everyone to kayak and enjoy the ride. Plus, being able to explore without a fixed schedule gives you the freedom to linger wherever the island’s beauty most captivates you.
