DESCRIPTION:
The coastline around Rapid Bay and environs, has some of the most stunning scenery on the Fleurieu Peninsula, particularly when seen from the water in a Sea Kayak.
After preparing gear and briefing we will head south from our Second Valley launch site to admire the small secluded sandy beaches, rock formations and caves before reaching Rapid Bay Beach and then the jetty.
If the sea and wind conditions are favourable, we aim to head south beyond Rapid Head, again exploring the amazing rock formations and caves, to land on a small, often hidden sandy cove (unless the tide is low, which it will be) for lunch.
Bring own lunch, drinks, snacks & any tales you may want to share with the group!
Sea kayaking equipment and any safety gear you may have is required for this trip.
Note that ratios/quotas will apply depending on the number of Instructors or Leaders on a trip. We may take pictures of the trip and mention your name on our website. If you have any concerns about this, let the trip leader know.
