Our mission is to bring people into relaxation and attunement with the natural elements. To fully experience the rhythms of the rainforest, ocean and skies above as we travel through remote island paradises. A Coral Sea Kayaking specialty is tailoring trips to the unique and hopeful individuals that join us; allowing them to connect with family, friends, self, and the sand between their toes. Coral Sea Kayaking offers boutique Sea Kayaking expeditions off the Cassowary Coast in Tropical North Queensland. On our most popular Sea Kayaking journey we spend 6 days paddling, swimming and camping our way up the coast of Hinchinbrook Island (Munamudanamy) and back to Mission Beach. Wedged between lush rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, paddling up the coast of Munmudanamy allows us to take in the jaw dropping landscapes, diverse plant and animal life, and some of the best swimming holes in the country. These active trips are fully guided and feature gourmet expedition dining. Our shorter 3 day expeditions paddle through the stunning Barnard and Family Islands and are a great introduction to Sea Kayaking, snorkelling and camping on remote tropical islands. All our trips are strictly capped at a dozen participants, and we often create bespoke departures for private groups who would like a tailored experience.
