Overview

An easy paddle with a good chance of turtles. This two-hour guided tour heads out on the calm, high-tide water of Pelican Bay, just near Rainbow Beach.

You paddle through mangroves that turtles, stingrays, seabirds and crabs call home. The water is flat and shallow, so it takes very little effort and suits complete beginners.

Transport, kayaks and gear, and your guide are all included. The start time moves with the tides, so it's confirmed for your date when you book. Bring a towel, sunscreen, water, a camera and a change of clothes.
