Hobart Kayak Tour
Description
Nestled between river and mountain, Hobart has one of the most picturesque harbours in the world. Join this 2.5-hour city paddle and go behind the scenes of this vibrant, working waterfront to discover the true heart of Hobart. 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.

Well organized fun tour. The kayaking equipment was great and the guide were informative and fun.
Wonderful kayak tour. Mike, our guide, gave great instructions so first timers would be very comfortable. We have experience but we did learn some new things. Paddled to the harbor and Mike picked up fish and chips from a local eatery at the dock. We ate in our kayaks and then paddled back to the bay where we had started. Learned a lot of history along the tour. It was a 40 minute walk from our ship to the starting point, but it was an easy walk and we enjoyed it. Mike recommended a bakery that was on our way back so we took his recommendation and enjoyed an apple scroll on our return to our ship. Was a lovely day.
Fantastic day, the weather was ideal, nice easy paddle. Lunch on the water was great. Interesting facts and local information by our guide who was very knowledgable. Would do again.
We look forward to seeing you out on the water again some time!
What a fabulous day!! Everything was perfect! The weather, equipment, guides and guests. Safety briefings had me feeling a lot more secure and the seals came out to say hello. Lunch was great too and the on-the-water atmosphere with everyone was exciting and fun. Can't recommend more highly.
It sounds like a great day! Thank you for reviewing us :)
A very nice experience. Fully professional and responsible, and made it easy to do. Nice lunch included, with good kayaking experience.
Thanks for your review!

Thank you for taking the time to review us :)
A 2h kayak from short beach to Constitution dock. Dependent on the weather, this kayak experience is a must do as it gives you a view of Hobart from water.
Highly recommend the Flinders 7 day trip. Fabulous trip that enabled us to enjoy the diversity of Flinders Island by land and sea. Guides were great at adapting each day according to the weather to provide us with amazing experiences.
Thank you Sue!
Great fun way to blow away jet lag and see Hobart from a different angle. Good instruction and safety briefing. All round a good experience.
Great stuff!
Enjoyed our Kayak tour as it was a perfect day and Kyle our guide was knowledgeable and professional. Unfortunately a 3 hour advertised tour was a smidge over 2 hours. At $130 pp, which included fish and chips on our Kayak while floating which was lovely was a little overpriced for a 2 hour and a bit paddle.
Thank you for your review. Perhaps the 2 and bit hours is reflective of the "time on water"? We value safety and ensure everyone has a detailed safety brief and gear fitting before we hit the water, and this is included in our 2.5 hour Hobart City Kayak Tour which we advertise as the full experience. We would love to hear from you as if it is advertised differently elsewhere, we wish to be informed. Please see our trip details on Trip Advisor to confirm the 2.5 hour experience advertised. Thank you for taking the time to review!
