Double Island Kayaking - Great Barrier Reef

KAYAK DOUBLE ISLAND SUNSET & HALF DAY OPTIONS AVAILABLE NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED DESIGNED FOR ALL FITNESS LEVELS VIEW MARINE LIFE ALONG THE WAY! DOUBLE KAYAKS AVAILABLE 30 MINUTE PADDLE 1 HOUR TO RELAX AT DOUBLE ISLAND OPTIONAL SNORKEL INCLUDED

Palm Cove Watersports offers a Sea Kayaking tour twice daily which circumnavigates Double Island. The single and double kayaks are designed for the open water and highly stable. They also offer a Sunrise trip, this one is shorter, but well worth the effort to experience the spectacular sunrise over the ocean!

From Palm Cove beach you will paddle across to the resort side of Double Island in about 30min. You will have time for a rest or walk along the beach. This is a popular holiday destination for movie stars but you are more likely to see some of our famous local wildlife.

Spot Lagoon Rays, Turtles, Dolphins, Sea Eagles and other wildlife whilst your Guide gives an informative talk on the Island and its surroundings. The kayaking around to the northern side of the Island will take another 30 minutes. 

Guests have the option to have a snorkel off the beach and take a closer look at the coral that fringes the Island. For approximately 1 hour you can sit back and relax on the sandy beach and take in the stunning views of the coast, the Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

Fresh tropical fruit, cake and cold drinks are provided. The return paddle to Palm Cove will take a leisurely 45 min.
