Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore the Coorong National Park—it’s an 86-mile-long (140 kilometers) peninsula of protected saltwater lagoons and sand dunes. This tour provides the equipment and know-how to explore the park’s protected areas without impacting the national ecology. It’s also longer than most other tours of its kind and provides lunch, which means you can concentrate on enjoying yourself on the water.

The River Torrens winds through the heart of Adelaide, but many of its quieter stretches are hard to appreciate from the banks. Paddle with a guide and a small group past the city’s parklands, looking out for local wildlife, and catching a glimpse of Adelaide Oval along the way. A small group means your guide can tailor the pace to suit everyone.
