Highlights

  • Paddle through the tranquil waters of Amity Point, spotting turtles and stingrays amidst lush mangroves.
  • Explore the shipwreck at Myora Channel, where colourful fish dart around as you glide by.
  • Swim near the rock wall at Amity Point, refreshing yourself after an adventure in nature's playground.
  • Keep an eye out for dolphins and dugongs as you navigate the stunning waterways of Dunwich.

Suggested itineraries include:

“Adventure Amity” will take you kayaking around the Amity Point area called the Spit to a “Hidden” Creek amongst the Mangroves which is full of fish, turtles and stingrays, so always be on the lookout not only below but above as many species of birds habitate these mangroves as well. This is a lovely area where there is a chance to see the beautiful starfish in abundance and paddle around some of the bigger boats that are mored out in the channel. After experiencing plenty of Natures Little Wonders you can go for cool off swim around the rock wall at Amity Point South of the jetty.

“Adventure Myora” will take you from the foreshores of the One Mile area in Dunwich around to the beautiful Myora Channel and paddle past the many mored boats there and continue to paddle to a ship wreck which you can explore and watch the Bream and other coloured fish dart in and around this wreck as they swim for shelter.

Always be on the lookout for big Turtles, Stingrays, Dolphins and Dugongs as they also frequent these waters all the way up to Amity Point and beyond.

Straddie Kingfisher Tours

Straddie Kingfisher Tours began over 25 years ago because they have such a passion for the Island. They just wanted to show this Island Paradise to the world in an Eco friendly, informative and sustainable way.

Being part of the Island community since 1966, they can offer you that local knowledge and give you that personal touch.

You get to see the wonderful scenic vantage points on Straddie to observe all the dolphins, turtles, manta rays and Humpback Whales from June to November each year.

Morning tea and their famous barbecue on the beach for lunch have been included for you to enjoy. You will get to look for koalas and kangaroos as you travel around this island paradise and may see many of the 253 different varieties of birds that inhabit the Island.

This tour is conducted at a leisurely pace so you can unwind and really get the feeling of “Straddie” time!

You will have a camera full of memories and a smile to suit.
