Itinerary
Explore Hobart waterfront from a different perspective by kayak!
Glide past prestigious homes perched along the edge of Hobart’s oldest suburb, marvel at Hobart’s wooden tall sailing ships, keep an eye out for Sammy the resident seal, hope for a pod of dolphins, peer through crystal-clear water at native sea stars, perhaps get up close and personal with a giant cruise ship, and take photos of Hobart from a rarely seen perspective.
Your discovery of Hobart wouldn’t be complete without some locally caught fish and chips from the city’s famed floating fish punts. Enjoy them with the best view in town - straight from your kayak!

I have done 3 different multi day kayak trips with Roaring 40s. All of the trips have been wonderful. The professionalism of the guides and the organisation made me feel safe. The most recent trip to Tasman Peninsula was spectacular and I felt welcome and one of the team as a solo traveller. Special mention to my guides- Micha and Josh (SW) Tom and Kevin (Flinders) Tory and Mads (Tasman peninsula)

My wife and I recently returned from the 8 day Sth West kayak trip. Our competent and friendly guides, Misha and Ali, ensured a safe, fun trip enhanced with healthy and comforting food and plunger coffee. We were impressed by the flexibility and range of daily activities and camping sites that optimised our experience given the changeable weather, including abundant fractostratus. Our guides leadership and thoughtfulness helped strong bonds to emerge with the other like-minded adventurers on the trip. This tour is first class value-for-money adventure. Rick and Wend

Totally awesome! Second 7 day trip with this fantastic group! and will be back. Their guides are second to none - finding us the right tides and the right wind to give us maximum fun in the most exquisite scenery. They even cook great meals at night. Can't recommend enough. Just do it!!

The seven day Flinders Island kayaking trip was fabulous adventure. We explored stunning coves, beaches, islands, and granite rock headlands both on foot and in the sea. Our guides Tom and Rob struck an excellent balance of activity, relaxation, time for swimming and snorkelling and taking care of us by cooking delicious meals. Their expertise and local knowledge was invaluable. Highly recommend this trip for people who want to get off the beaten track but enjoy a little luxury.

That was an amazing tour! I booked this short kayak trip as a birthday gift. My girlfriend said it was her best birthday present! The lovely guide was so nice, friendly and with a lot of patience.

It was a bit of a dull windy day but this didnt matter as the paddle was still scenic and interesting.
Our guide, Moran, explained everything so clearly to us and made us feel very secure. Moran told us a lot about the local bird life and history of the area as well as sime interesting facts. A wonderful experience. Thank you

Great weather , easy course and not to strenuous. Also probably had the best fish and chips from the takeaway places in the vicinity.
Saw the guide and her father the next day on a totally unrelated tour and they stopped for a quick chat too.

Great experience on the water paddling from Sandy Beach, pass Battery Point to Hobart Harbour. Amazing to be so close to all the harbour action. Thanks Rob and Roaring 40s. Leona

The trip is really good. We love the fish and chips so much. If you could share where I can buy it, I will try it again next time I go to Hobart :)
