Outing Highlights

THE BAY

Mulroy Bay’s sheltered islands and clear water

Mulroy Bay is a large sheltered inlet ringed with islands and native woodland; its clear water supports abundant sea life and makes the bay an ideal, scenic place to paddle.

THE GEAR

Stable solid boards and guided instruction

The tour uses solid SUP boards for extra stability and is led by a skilled instructor who provides a full introduction so participants can feel confident on the water.

THE CONDITIONS

Weather matters—aim for calm skies and low wind

These tours are weather dependent: clear skies and low winds are required for the experience to be enjoyed to the full, and outings may be canceled if conditions are unsuitable.

What the day feels like

Over roughly 2 hours and 4 km of paddling, you’ll set off from the Woodquarter shore onto the calm waters of Mulroy Bay, receive instruction and tips from your guide, and paddle through an archipelago of small islands—an intimate perspective for spotting sea life and taking in native woodland along the shoreline.
