Sea Kayaking Holidays

Southern Sea Ventures specialises in sea kayak holidays, offering a diverse range of sea kayak adventures from the Pacific to the Mediterranean to the Polar Regions and the entire Russian coast. We first began operating sea kayak tours in 1988 in Fiji and Australia and have steadily grown to offer a range of camping and ship based tours all around the world. Our fleets of single and double sea kayaks allow us easy and intimate access to some of the world's most beautiful coastlines, secluded tropical islands, and unforgettable polar landscapes.

Warm water trips include Fiji, Palawan, Tonga, Australia, Panama, Turkey and Croatia. Cold water trips and polar itineraries aboard our expedition ships include Antarctica, South Georgia, the Falklands, Norway, Spitsbergen, Iceland, Greenland, White Sea, NE passage, Kamchatka, Kuril Islands and Franz Joseph land.

We have seven new and exciting trips in 2011, taking our total trips on offer to 25! Our new trips include kayaking in Iceland, five trips along the entire Russian coast and a fabulous tropical expdition for experienced paddlers in Fiji.

We have added more single kayaks to many of our destinations but maintain some doubles for couples and safety reason. Our ship-based trips are predominantly doubles with a few singles due to the storage space available on the ship.

Flash!! There are currently some fantastic airfares on offer to Fiji. Take advantage while you can!

Upcoming Trips! Fiji, Hinchinbrook, Tonga, Croatia and Turkey. STAY TUNED for detailed itineraries on all the new trips including the White Sea, Franz Jospeh land, the rarely seen North East Passage, Kamchatka and Kuril Islands.

This 2010 Antarctic season is now full so book now for 2011.

Our kayak holidays are fully catered and feature small groups, remote destinations and very experienced guides. We have an active concern for the environment and the countries and cultures that we visit. Our expedition ship 'Polar Pioneer' provides a comfortable base for our fleets of sturdy kayaks. Polar Pioneer takes us to the Antarctic, South Georgia, High Arctic, Greenland, Scotland and Norway.
