About:

The Jervis Bay waters are a kayaker's delight; a protected marine region of sparkling waters and white sandy beaches fringed by National Park. For a whole day, we paddle dictated by the tides, wind and the sun, enjoying two relaxing breaks for morning tea and lunch. We leave plenty of time to learn new paddling skills and feel comfortable on the water at a slow paddle pace.

Day Itinerary:

Morning - We ll meet and greet the group in Hussikson before heading to our launch location for handy technique and paddle skills briefing. We ll set out in double sea kayaks for approximately 1.5 hours, taking in the coastline and the expanses of the Jervis Bay waterway. Your guide will select a relaxing spot in the shade for a rest break and a hot cuppa tea with light refreshments/fruit.

Afternoon - Once we are recharged we will get back in the kayaks and explore the Booderee National Park, learning some of Jervis Bay's historic significance. It is very likely to see whales and dolphins on this trip and we will be taking the best option on the day for spotting the amazing animals. We ll stop again for lunch, a delicious selection of locally made salad wraps plus additional snacks and fruit. Time again for another kayak to take it all in before heading back to the landing site. This is a superb adventure to attend individually or with a friend. Many women turn up individually. We will help you partner up on the day and you can swap around with your paddle buddy if you choose.

FAQs

Are there minimum age requirements for this trip? All Women Want Adventure trips are for over 18 years only.

What do I need to wear in the kayak? Tights or shorts. Anything you are comfortable in and you don t mind getting wet. You can wear your swimmers under your clothing in summer or bring them with you. During winter, it s best to bring a thermal or long sleeve top to keep warm.

What are the fitness requirements? I m worried I m not fit enough and have never been kayaking before. This trip is suitable for first time kayakers and beginners. Our guides will teach you basic skills and make sure you feel comfortable and safe. All women are in double kayaks which makes the paddling much easier.
