YouTube Video Description

One of the Shore Tours at Airlie Beach was Sea Kayaking. The tour is run by Salty Dog Sea Kayaking from Shute Harbour. Whilst it is not too strenuous it is not recommended for under 7 year olds. The kayaks are double kayaks so if you have a strong paddler in one of the seats they can probably do the work for younger children. It is a full day tour and the route was about 6km around some of the islands with excellent guides who give you lots of information along the way. You will stop at one of the beaches where you can swim with the fish and have a snack before making your way back to the harbour. This was a fantastic day out and definitely one that we would recommend if it is available on your cruise.
