Paddle where the rainforest meets the reef.
Paddletrek offers half day scenic sea kayaking tours exploring Cape Tribulation’s beaches, reefs, mangroves and marine wild life. Your experienced local guide will take you into the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park from where you have spectacular views of the ancient Daintree Rainforest.
Out on the water, you'll glide along fringing reefs, gazing back at the lush rainforest and white sand beaches, and looking out for turtles, dugong, sea eagles, dolphins and sting rays. Kayaking allows you to get close to nature and is a great way to experience and learn something about this amazing tropical environment.
Paddletrek doesn’t require any previous experience, tuition and all equipment is provided. Sturdy, sit on-top single and double kayaks are available and refreshments are provided. Children aged 6 and up are welcome to join their parents.
