Kayak the Mornington Peninsula Coast Line & Dolphin Sanctuary:
Paddling in a sea kayak is a fantastic way to explore the untouched coastline along the Port Phillip Bay. The fun, eco-friendly double kayaks give you the rare opportunity to encounter local marine life as you paddle along the picturesque peninsula coastline. You will pass popular locations like Point Nepean National park and Quarantine Station, Point King Lookout and the famous millionaire walk! This is the perfect tour for those with a sense of adventure and interest in nature.
Port Phillip Bay is home to a population of around 120 Bunurong dolphins, these are a new species of dolphin! These mammals rely almost entirely on the bay for all their daily needs. They rarely, if ever, venture outside its waters. The small population size makes these dolphins vulnerable to extinction and they have been given special protection under law, these protected areas include the Ticonderoga Bay sanctuary zone, located north-west of Portsea near Point Nepean and we are lucky enough to kayak through these locations.
