About this experience
This is the best way to use a Carbon Neutral travel to find migrating whales as they cruise north in Winter and south in Spring along the NSW south coast. You will be using double expedition style sea kayaks to explore the ocean and search for wildlife, this tour also makes a stop on secluded beaches for a delicious morning tea and leg stretches, and a return journey exploring rocky ledges and coves. The group will depart from any quiet location, depending where the whales have been spotted!
