1) I am very impressed with the guides Emily and P. Emily is very knowledgeable and seeks to value add our experience with her knowledge of wildlife. 2) Rivergod has very good and prompt service which I strongly recommend. I have done with a bit of research on which company to do this sea kayak adventure with. Rivergod is competitively priced with quality guides and service. 3) We were pleasantly surprised that my Husband and I were the only ones on the tour but yet, they did not cancel but proceeded with the tour. Most other tour agencies would have cancelled if the numbers are not to the maximum. For these three reasons, you guys are exceptional!! *send me the pictures from the tour!😄

Must do from Perth!

Emily_M, Nov 2025

So much fun! this was our first time kayaking and we had a blast. our group was people in their 20s to people in their 50s-60s and it was so fun. Ella and Gemma taught our group everything we needed to know and one stayed in front of the group and one behind to make sure no one was left behind. we got to see the sea lions laying out in the sun and going for a swim! we had a very delicious picnic and nature walk seeing the native wildlife and coast lines. I would give them 100 stars if I could

Best last day in Perth

Madalina_S, Mar 2025

It was a great day! We got to see plenty of seals and enjoy a lunch in the shade and a walk around penguin island followed by some snorkelling in the clear water. On the way back Simon, our tour guide, let us snorkel a bit more to be able to see the dolphins we spotted, which was the perfect end to a lovely day.

Lovely April outing

Glenda_L, Apr 2024

Convenient CBD pickup n well organized itinerary. Had some great interactions with sea lions although could not see penguins due to wrong season. Was lucky to see a couple of dolphins at the end of trip, which was a nice bonus!

A fun experience

Michelle_Y, Jan 2024

This was a great experience. Ellie was a lovely tour guide and very professional. We saw one penguin under a boardwalk and a seal decided to swim up and lie on the beach on Penguin Island.

An amazing experience

Shelby_G, Nov 2023

We had an amazing guide who told us so much information about every island, animals, shells and history Kayaking across the ocean is such an amazing experience

Still smiling-We had a great time!

We were promptly picked up from our hotel. It was about a 30 minute drive to the drop in point. We (my sister and I) were the only ones on the trip that day and we couldn’t have had more fun! The paddle out to Seal Island - We were told lots of good info about the Sea Lions and the Island. Then a good paddle over to Penguin Island where we had morning tea, watched to penguin feeding, got a great tour all around the island, had lunch and paddled back to the start. It was a great day and our guide even made 2 (moderately active) women well in to their 60’s with minimal kayaking experience, feel safe and we had a great time!

Beautiful views

Katie_P, May 2022

The views from the island were truly beautiful. We saw the seals laying on the beach. Super cute. They may or may not be in the water depending on whether they are feeding or resting.

Response from Host, May 2022

Thanks Katie, come again soon -remember we also do half day tours on the Canning and Swan Rivers.

Strongly recommend this tour!!!

a great day trip and excellent guide

Hedda_Z, Apr 2019

It was a perfect day for kayaking, we started at 9:30am at the Shoalwater Marine park, with our wonderful guide Lindsay! Our first paddle is to Seal Island approx. 1km from the shore, then we paddled approximately 2 kms to the Penguin Island where we land and have an excellent picnic lunch, followed by a visit to the Penguin Centre where some Penguins are fed. We then went exploring the coast and caves of the island and to our great surprise, we met with a very lazy seal lion taking a nap quietly at the corner beyond the cave sections. Our guide Lindsay then took us on a nature walk around the island to discover the many and varied shellfish, starfish, crabs, sea birds (including a Pelican Colony), lizards, and some great views of the bay. We then paddled back for approx. 30 mins back to Shoalwater. A perfect day! Thank you Lindsay!

Great experienced with the kayak...

Rachael , Apr 2016

Great experienced with the kayak. Scenery was superb but didn't manage to see any Seal and Sea Lion swimming in the sea. We enjoyed the picnic lunch which provided by the tour.
