Highlights
Outing Highlights
Granite cliffs and sandy beaches
Paddle along sheer granite headlands and skirt wide sandy beaches—the coastline is remote and clear, making the geology and shoreline the constant companion of the trip.
Seals, penguins and the occasional dolphin
The area is rich with marine life; participants frequently encounter seals and penguins, and may see pods of dolphins during the paddle.
Lunch with a view to Kilcunda
A planned lunch stop gives paddlers time to swim or simply sit and take in sweeping views down to Kilcunda before heading back to shore.
