SUNSET KAYAK TOUR

The best way to see 1770 is from the water

Watch an ocean sunset from a kayak - 3:00pm/$65/2.5hrs
​

Join our friendly and experienced guide at 1770 Liquid Adventures on a fully guided sunset kayak tour through the magnificent waters of 1770 and around the Sir Joseph Banks Conservation area. The best way to discover 1770 is from a kayak.

 

  • ​The Town of 1770 is the only place on the coast of Queensland where you can watch an ocean sunset from a kayak! The clear, calm waters are perfect for a kayak adventure.​

​

  • Our kayak tour starts at the 1770 foreshore, where you meet your tour guide and fellow paddlers. After pairing up for the double kayaks, we get our gear on and get some tips on safety and paddling techniques.

​​

  • You will paddle past Captain Cook's landing point, stop at a secluded beach or sandbar and then on to the headland, to spot wild dolphins*, turtles and other marine and bird life.

​

  • The paddle can include going through some waves and into open water (depending on conditions), so make sure you are up for a bit of action!

​

  • Enjoy complimentary snacks and drinks while watching the sun go down over Bustard Bay.

​​​

  • Finish the day by watching one of 1770′s famous sunsets over the ocean while you paddle your kayak back along the 1770 foreshore.

​

  • We only take small groups of 12 paddlers maximum on this tour.

​

A few important things to consider:

​

  • Children aged 12 years and older are welcome to join the tour if paddling with an adult. For younger kids, please  check out our Family tour or our Nature tour.

​

​

  • 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. If you are unsure, please call us and have a chat to us, we are always happy to give advice and the conditions can make a big difference too.
