Kayak Port Phillip bay

The best place to start kayaking is with the half day sit on top kayak program delivered in protected waters of Sandringham harbour. These sessions are designed to fit into class lesson time and can be tailored to provide 1-2 or more hours of activity and can be a one-off experience or a series of sessions building on skills. An ideal addition to your existing Physical Education or Outdoor Education program, providing a focus on Marine Safety. We also offer full day sea kayak programs from Sandringham where we explore along the coastline, see Red bluff from the water or paddle around Green point. This program can be tailored to meet your intended learning outcomes with many cross curricular opportunities across the Victorian Curriculum. Our qualified sea kayak guides can assist you to deliver and achieve your desired learning outcomes.
