The water here is the point of the trip: calm stretches of Jervis Bay Marine Park framed by pale sand, sudden glimpses of marine life beneath the hull, and evenings that often finish with an orange sweep along the horizon. Double Standard Kayak Hire lets you get out on that water on your own terms — short turns or a full afternoon — and, if you want, bring along an instructor to widen what you’ll see and how you move.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE SETTING

Clear water, sandy beaches and marine life

Huskisson launches set you into Jervis Bay Marine Park where paddlers regularly glide past pale beaches and peer into water full of life; the hire is designed to get you close to those quieter, revealing sections of shore.

THE OPTIONS

Flexible hire lengths and optional instruction

Hire periods come in two-, four- and eight‑hour blocks, and the operator offers instructor support if you want technical help or a guided introduction before heading off on your own.

THE MOMENT

Sunset paddles and extra trips

If you’re after something beyond a daytime hire, sunset paddles and boat trips are available as an alternative or an add-on to extend the experience after a day on the water.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

You pick a hire length, collect a kayak in Huskisson and push off into the sheltered reaches of Jervis Bay Marine Park; for novices it’s an accessible, easy way to spend time on the water, and for more experienced paddlers the same stretches can be stretched into longer explorations or a sunset run. If you prefer a guided start, an instructor can accompany you to show local spots and quick techniques before you continue.
