Enjoy three aquatic activities combined into one eco-tour in Brunswick Heads. Glide past verdant scenery on a rainforest cruise; look for wildlife on a guided kayak tour, and try stand-up paddleboarding on the Brunswick River in Cape Byron Marine Park. This is a chance to explore areas unable to be visited by vehicle. Snacks and informative commentary are provided on this 3-hour tour.
Your eco-tour starts at the Brunswick Heads Boat Harbour. Hop aboard your riverboat, which tows the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards as it cruises from the headwaters of the Brunswick River upstream to the starting point of your kayak tour.
Disembark and receive some paddling instructions from your guide before setting off across the water on your sit-on-top double kayak, which allows you to paddle into areas inaccessible by other modes of transport. For about an hour, float under the mangroves and soak up the tranquil atmosphere as you watch for wildlife like elusive kingfishers that live on the riverbanks. Pelican, eagles, and water dragons (lizards) are also often seen on this tour.
After kayaking, you have the chance to try stand-up paddleboarding on the river, or you may continue on the kayak, if you wish. Enjoy fresh fruit, snacks, and cold drinks before cruising back to the dock.
This tour is rated easy and is suitable for adults of all ages and children 4 years and older.
