NATURE TOUR

The best way to see 1770 is from the water

Explore the 1770 creek and its creatures - 9:30am/$65/3hrs

On this nature-based 2.5hr kayak tour, we explore the stunning Round Hill Creek and the creatures that inhabit the area. Learn about the environment, history and our wildlife. Every day is a surprise, you never know what you might see!

This tour is all about exploring the area and the different wildlife and creatures you would normally walk past.

The tour begins at the 1770 foreshore where we meet and gear up. After a few tips on paddling techniques and safety we are off in our double kayaks.

The exact route of the tour will be determined by the conditions (tide and wind) on the day. We will always endeavour to take the best possible route.

Enjoy stunning views, tranquility and spot the local wildlife. Be surprised at what you might find.

Discover beaches and sandbars, go for a swim if you like.

What we might see on the day will depend on the season, the tide, the weather... and our luck. All our wildlife is exactly that - WILD. We never know what we will spot. It could be dolphins, stingrays, crabs, turtles, snails, fish, birds... We wrote a blog post about the strangest creatures we found over the years.

Children aged 10 or older are welcome on the tour if paddling with an adult. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

If you are over the age of 55 please be aware that this tour can be a challenge for some people! You need to be able to sit in the kayak for a prolonged time and be able to get in and out several times. If you have exisiting back, shoulder or hip problems, this tour may not be for you.
