What To Expect
With relatively calm, protected waters and an abundance of marine life, Cape Byron Marine Park is an ideal sea kayaking spot. Choose from a morning or afternoon departure. You’ll be outfitted with a paddle, safety vest and a two-person sea kayak designed for ease and stability. All levels of kayaking experience are welcome.
Follow your knowledgeable surf-and-sea guides out into the marine park, learning about the area’s natural and cultural history as you paddle. Get a glimpse of the historic Cape Byron lighthouse, and hear local Aboriginal legends. Your guides will navigate the group toward the path of a local pod of more than 300 dolphins that are regularly seen swimming, splashing and jumping in the area. Get an amazingly up-close encounter with these smart and playful creatures in their natural habitat.
Keep an eye out for other marine life including sea turtles and migrating humpback whales (May to November). Disembark on a lovely local beach and refresh with morning or afternoon tea and coffee, served with Milo or Tim Tam chocolate biscuits.
Please note: In the rare event that your group does not encounter any dolphins, you can take the tour again on another day free of charge.

Fantastic experience

Such a beautiful way to experience Byron’s marine inhabitants

Being a kilometre off shore in large rolling swells watching a pod of 60 dolphins, then dropping into the water for a swim was just sublime.
A must do in Byron

It was disappointing to kayak a long way and have no reward. We didn’t see any dolphins or any wildlife.
We were not even given an opportunity to do it again or get some of or money back.

It was so amazing when a dolphin came really close to my kayak.
Luse was a brilliant kayaker. She was great even when my parents were on a different kayak.

Great session for the overall workout and experience if not for my competitive spirit and maybe next time we’ll get even closer to the dolphins.

Absolutely fabulous. Super fun, not hard at all and we saw dolphins, a turtle and even surfed the kayak back to shore. Our guide was excellent. This is a must do.
Response from Host , Jun 2021
Hi Stefan. Thank you you for your great review on our kayaking tours. You certainly got to experience everything we offer from dolphin to turtle encounters to surfing your kayak on the waves. Well done! We hope to see you back again for a another thrilling kayaking experience. Kind regards, Steve

Great experience! Our leader Lynchy made it even more awesome fun and was great to talk to. Beautiful morning out on the water and great to see dolphins 🐬
Well worth the paddle

So lucky we got to see dolphins in the first go! The instructor and crew are well organized and very informative. We were kind of newbies to sea kayaking but they made the experience real fun and easy. Well managed and enjoyable. Would definitely do it again.
Fun and memorable

The kayaking with dolphins tour was a very memorable activity for my family! The team were very professional and made us feel safe the whole time. We were able to get up close to the dolphins and see lots of them in action. It was definitely worth it! Highly recommend!
Response from Host , Apr 2021
Would do again 10/10

Was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! We were so lucky to see about 80 dolphins so close to our kayaks. Prepare for some sore arms the next day though! So worth it.
Great morning in the sea

The guides were great and we saw some turtles, but only saw dolphins for a short period in the distance, so we were offered a free return which was really good.
Worth it.
Amy
, Feb 2021
Was definitely worth it! The ocean was great and the staff where very funny ! However just be prepared to fall in the water at some point overall 10/10 ! Will be coming back again !
Great experience
