Kayaking

 

There is no better way to introduce students to the beautiful Mornington Peninsula Coastline than kayaking. Not only is it an outdoor, fun and educational activity, it is also a great way to emphasize team work! Using sea kayaks and/or sit-on-top kayaks, Students can paddle or even pedal along Point Nepean National Park, Western Port Mangroves,or even the Yarra River!

The Marine Education Kayak day focuses on teaching students about the ecosystems of Port Phillip bay, Western Port bay and the Yarra River, including marine/river life, plants & animals, but our guides also try to give students insight on the history of the bays and rivers. The Kayak Tour is a perfect combination of Outdoor Ed and educational marine life/history tour!
