The Brunswick River is one of the most beautiful river systems in New South Wales. We run our tours on high tide when the waters create a crystal clean and calm oasis for kayaking in.
Kayak along peaceful waters where the only interruption will be from local sea birds and wildlife calling out as you cruise by. This kayak tour is a gentle paced adventure. Take the time out the breath in the clean salty air and paddle past sand dunes that separate the river from the beach whilst taking in the stunning coastal scenery.
Your trip is guided by local nature enthusiasts who will lead you along and point out local features of the environment.
We will stop, chill out and have a look at the fascinating marine life along the river bank. Take a break on the river bank for a swim before winding up your tour and heading back to the real world.
This tour last about 2 hours. We meet for the tour at The Brunswick Heads Scout Hall on South Beach Rd in Brunswick Heads. This is a leisurely tour.
Children can come that are 3 years old and over. We run this tour at different times each day so we can best pick the tides and go when the water is at its clearest.

Probably should have gotten there 15-30 minutes before the scheduled time as was the last to arrive.
The kit was all good. The guides were great. Good Comms. Good banter. Hearded the group well without being upset.
We had a small 8 kayak ish group. I was with Laurie who had done the trip Friday but not seen much and had a rebook.
A quick brief and we were underway.
Great mix between getting some distance done and resting/watching for sea life.
A few turtle heads spotted early in the distance.
Paddled around the corner to spot multiple small pods of dolphins. This started an hour or excellent encounters some 10ft away some 50ft.
Guides were great at slowly getting close without spooking and the group were all well behaved and didn't chase.
Stopped for a swim on the way back. Lost a few pairs of glasses between the group.
Happy people all round.
Don't miss out on experiencing Byron from the water I highly recommend this trip! and can't wait to go again during the whaling season.
Definitely a bucket list experience to do in Byron Bay!
Thanks Pete & the team we will be back!!!
What an experience! Loved the whole 2 hours. It felt more like 30mins.
I thought I wouldn't have the energy for it but I left feeling more energetic than when I arrived!
Saw a dolphin 2x! Once one went under my kayak! Another time one came up a little ways from us. It was amazing. Others saw turtles too. My first time proper experience!
The staff were awesome, and nice!. Gave me a wet suit and kept an eye on me the whole time. The guide made sure I wasn't too hot or needed a dip to cool off.
The instructor was informative and funny!
Awesome! Awesome Day!!
Thank you ❤️
We watched bottlenose dolphins casually porpoise past our kayak while sea turtles poked their heads above the waves for a breather.
What a marvellous sun-kissed morning paddle with Go Sea Kayak in Byron Bay.
These are the people you want to guide you out past the surf and onto an aquatic adventure. Informative, safety-conscious and good-humoured. Five-star legends.
It was a small group and I think perfect amount of people.
The instructors were super friendly and explained all the important things, such as safety information but also facts about the marine life. On our tour we saw dolphins, whales and a turtle which was incredible! Since we went in winter the company gave us wet suits which was great! Kayaking was so much fun and I made some new friends! I really recommend this tour! Thanks for this experience!
The day was incredibly fun and met some incredible people on the day - and yes, we did end up "taking a swim" once or twice, haha.
I'd recommend this to anyone tempted by this, especially if you can time it during the whale migration season.
The weather was beautiful and the seas calm at 06:30. We saw dolphins (including babies) very quickly, and that would have been enough, but then we saw humpback whales. With calves. 10 meters away. It was breathtaking.
Highly recommend paddling with Go Sea Kayak. You may not see whales, but you will have a great time.
Very professional & well organised.
We saw so many dolphins (some up very close) & a whale migrating (a siting this late in the year was unexpected)
Expect to get wet & make sure you only take a phone if it is in a waterproof cover (they can provide you a waterproof pouch when you arrive for $15 )
Despite our best attempts, my partner & I could not master the shore landing in a sea kayak & many laughs. Felt safe the entire time
We were lucky enough to get super close to some Humpback whales and saw loads of dolphins!!
The crew were so knowledgable and made the whole experience so cool and memorable.
Would highly recommend the Go Sea Kayaks to anyone visiting Byron! 🌞🌞
The wind was pretty strong so paddling was hard, but it kind of added to the excitement. Was an amazing experience, totally recommend!
You will spend some time diligently listening to the instructions & safety guidelines prior to embarking on your journey.
Beau, keep that great sense of humour up; you're a classic! Thanks, David, for the terrific photos, much appreciated; especially since you were busy getting us all out there, as well! Thanks again guys, I'm super grateful! Will definitely be back! Thoroughly recommend, if you're in Byron Bay. ????
Thank you!
The booking and switching process was incredible easy, and the river kayak itself was the most peaceful and serene experience.
Our guide was great (Beau?) allowing us to amble down the river taking our time and spotting the wildlife, and the scenery was something out of this world.
I would wholeheartedly recommended this tour for anyone thinking bout it :)
Really knowledgeable guides, kept us safe and in check at all times, funny guys that really love what they do. Thank you for a great time ????????
