Sea Kayaking
Paddle the Dolphin Sanctuary
There is no better way to explore the pristine Mornington Peninsula coastline than by Sea Kayak. These Eco friendly vessels enhance the opportunity to encounter dolphins, penguins and seals while gliding through the translucent water, emitting neither pollution or noise. When one of these majestic creatures surface next to your kayak it brings home what a wonderful place Port Phillip Bay really is.
Thinking about staying on the Peninsula? Choose from our range of accommodation options in Portsea, Rye & Blairgowrie. And why not a package? For details on our cottages, apartments or group retreats click here

"Ross and I have just spent a fabulous few hours doing your Sea Kayaking on the Bay. I wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your facilities and staff. Sam was an absolutely excellent guide - helpful and courteous. We were lucky to have seen the first dolphins of the season.
Kind regards,
Ross and Sandy"
