Absolutely outstanding

By far the best thing I did in my whole 6-day trip to Cairns/Trinity Beach. Guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Saw sea turtles, a dolphin and lots of native birds. It was a small group - 3x doubles and myself and one other in singles. Stopped and hopped out at several great spots. Highly recommend!

Kayak Turtle Tour

Had a great day doing the kayak turtle tour. We saw turtles, dolphins, a baby shark, lots of fish and coral and some sting rays. We paddled, swam and snorkelled. Luke was a great tour guide using the wind and tides to make for a great adventure.

Spend the morning with turtles!

We loved the Pacific Water Sports Kayak half day tour. We saw many turtles and were even lucky enough to swim with one when we snorkelled off Double Point Island!

Awesome experience

Andy and his team are friendly and informative. The tour is relaxing and fun out onto the reef and across to Double Island. We saw turtles and some others saw reef fish when we stopped for a snorkel around the island. I was surprised how easy it was to kayak and being unfit, I didn't get puffed out or sore muscles afterwards. Highly recommend this morning tour, what a peaceful and great experience away from it all.

Awesome morning

Watch out for the sharp barnacles. best morning my 13yr old son and I had together in a long time. Lots to see. Andrew was helpful when my son cut himself on a barnacle rock. Even that didn't spoil our morning. So much fun
