Freycinet Peninsula Kayak Expedition

Six days kayaking with incredible Scenery

The Freycinet Peninsula, located on Tasmania’s east coast, is one of Australia’s most iconic national parks. The scenery is spectacular, with clear turquoise water, white sandy beaches and secret coves, all framed by a craggy granite mountain range.

Some proposed highlights of the trip include paddling to Schouten Island, exploring the inaccessible eastern coastline and optional hikes for spectacular views. Join us on this six day adventure as we paddle, hike and walk in one of Australia’s most amazing coastal environments.
