Night Kayaking on the Great Ocean Road
As the sun sets and the night sky comes to life, your adventure kicks off with a short kayak briefing on the riverbank. Then it’s time to hit the water and take in the views as the river reflects the changing colours of the sky. As dusk settles and a light mist rises over the water, you’ll switch on your headlight and start spotting native wildlife. Keep an eye out for kangaroos, possums, and a variety of local birdlife. The peaceful bends of the river lead you to a quiet spot where you’ll stop to enjoy a warm drink or soup (provided). With the stars now shining bright overhead, your guide will point out the unique features of the Southern Sky, sharing insights into what makes it so special. Then, for a moment of calm, we’ll switch off the lights and simply float – taking in the stillness, the stars, and the sounds of the night. You’ll paddle back under moonlight, guided by your headlight and the reflection of the stars, a truly memorable way to experience the Great Ocean Road.
