Description

This kayaking day tour I will lead you on promises to be a special experience, as we wind our way along the Tasman National Park to Cape Huay, from Hobart, taking in and admiring the awe-inspiring cliff faces and rock formations whilst also exploring natural sea caves, encountering animals such as fur seals, falcons and dolphins, and even sampling a gourmet Tasmanian lunch.

Tasman National Park is located within the Australian island state of Tasmania, approximately 56km East of the state capital of Hobart. It is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna, as well as its famous Three Capes walking track.

Our adventure begins in the morning when we meet in Hobart, and from there we head to the starting point, where all relevant gear and information will be dispensed.

We then hit the water as soon as possible, as there is much to pack in to the day.

The morning portion of the trip is where we will be exposed to some truly jaw-dropping sights, with the sheer size and scale of the nearby sea-cliffs, some standing at 200m high, taking the breath away.

We will also be paddling in to and around some fascinating natural sea caves, and also looking out for rock-climbers on the famous and massive Totem Pole sea stack.

Our lunch stop involves tasting some of the fresh local Tasmanian produce, and afterwards we kayak over to a mysterious and interesting shipwreck, and we finish our day by looking out for and marveling at the animals that call the Cape Huay area home such as fur seals, sea eagles, and on lucky occasions, dolphins and whales.

This day will definitely make you fall even more in love with the raw natural scenery of Tasmania, and hopefully encourage you to return for more kayaking around this epic coastline.

This is one of the best possible ways to spend a day near Hobart – book now to experience the splendour of the Tasman Coast!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
