What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

 

Our kayaking tours are entirely weather dependent, and we will only take you out on the water if it is safe to do so. In case of severe weather that makes it unsafe to enter the water or participate in water activities, we will cancel the tour and refund your ticket. We recommend bringing appropriate clothing and gear for various weather conditions to ensure your comfort throughout the day.

​What do I need to bring?

 

Apart from yourself and your smile, please wear clothing suitable for outdoor water activities. Water shoes or flip flops are recommended, along with drinking water, a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses, as you will not have too much shade cover and Australian sun can be quite strong. We recommend bringing a waterproof dry bag to store your personal items without them getting wet. If you don't have a dry bag, we can provide one for you. Don't forget a full drinking water bottle and a waterproof camera for any photos you might want to take on the water or beach!

​

Where is the meeting & launch point?

 

We launch just beside the Ian Dipple Lagoon, just north of Charis Seafoods. If this should change for any reason, we'll let you know in advance.

 

Staying at a nearby hotel? Hotel pick-ups can be arranged with prior notice. After booking your tour, please message or call us to confirm your pick-up location.

​

Are Wyldside kayaking tours suitable for children?

 

Our tours are not suitable for children under 12 years of age. We do not provide children's kayaks or children's life jackets, and the tour duration and some kayaking and snorkelling sections are not suitable for children. Please ensure compliance with this requirement, as no refund will be provided if a ticket is booked for a child under 12, resulting in any member of your group being unable to join the kayaking tour.

​

What is the duration of the tour?

 

The typical duration of our Wyldside kayaking tours is around 2.5 to 4 hours, depending on the specific tour and the locations visited. This includes travel time to and from shore, as well as ample time at our snorkelling stop and any other stop(s) to explore, take photos, and enjoy water activities. Tour times will be provided in your tour confirmation. Please note while we aim to be as punctual as possible, tour times are approximate and unforeseen and circumstances such as inclement weather and tides can cause delays.​
