Sea Kayaking Snapper Island
Snapper Island is one of only a few islands in this area accessible from the mainland by sea kayaks. The journey begins soon with a beautiful scenic drive past sugar cane fields, coastal beaches and the mighty Daintree River.
After a safety briefing and instruction, a mildly challenging paddle awaits to take you to the island. You land on one of many idyllic beaches for a tropical lunch before beginning to explore the island coast line and aquatic wonderland, stopping in at another beautiful white sand, sun drenched beach for more relaxation. Before heading back to the mainland whilst navigating around the island, setting sail if there is ample trade wind, and coasting home.
| Tour Duration: | 8 hours |
| Pickup Available: | Yes. Courtesy pick-up from Port Douglas and surrounding areas. Bus and private transfers from Cairns and Northern Beaches can be arranged. |
