Great tour! Booked this as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. We arrived a little bit early and our guide Ben was already set up with everything organised to get us set up and on the water. He took care of making sure we we’re safe at all times and was happy to work with the group to take us on the best route including an amazing morning tea (I can’t believe all the drinks & snacks he’d carted along all the way) for our stop and some people took the option for a snorkel which was great. Would def recommend and thanks so much, from the booking through to the tour we were really happy with it all.

100% Worth it! My family and I absolutely loved the entire tour. As complete beginners, Josh gave us a professional and friendly introduction to the basics of kayaking, making us feel comfortable and confident right from the start.

Jane shared the story of her farm with great passion and happily answered all of our questions. The oyster tasting was absolutely delicious, and the four of us had a fantastic time as part of a group of eight people.

Thank you so much for this wonderful experience – we highly recommend this tour!

Wonderful adventure with RegionX at Batemans Bay - Kayaking Snorkel Most wonderful adventure. My teenage twin daughters and I went on this tour on our way back from Tura beach to Sydney and it turned out a high light of our road trip. Mike our tour guide was very knowledgeable thoughtful and kind. He prepared everything to accompany us, even brought wet suits for our snorkelling. We were so lucky with nice weather and calm ocean, we saw 3 whales migrating from south to north, jumping in and out of the water for about 20 minutes. We spent a great time watching a colony of seals up close and they put on a great playful show around us. Snorkelling was fun . Morning tea was plentiful and lovely. Climbing up the head was thrilling and adventurous. It’s a 10 out of 10 experience. Thank you Mike and the team at Region X. We will do more tour with you soon.

A Kayak adventure on the Clyde River - a great adventure It was a great day . We were treated so well. So relaxed and friendly. Great instruction and information about the beautiful Clyde River . Morning tea was amazing with delicious fresh oysters

Kayaking Experience We hired a double kayak at Mossy Point for an hour to give our granddaughter an opportunity to experience kayaking. The weather was perfect but there was an outgoing tide that made it a bit more difficult to paddle for a less than athletic grandparent.

Batemans Bay Glass-Bottom Kayak Tour Great experience, Gaz was a great tour guide and would recommend. Just be prepared to not see much through the glass bottom kayak on a cloudy day.

Had such an amazing time on this kayaking and snorkeling trip! Had such an amazing time on this kayaking and snorkeling trip! From the moment we arrived, the whole experience felt welcoming and full of positive energy. The team created such an energetic and fun environment that made the day even more special.

What really stood out was how patient and considerate everyone was, especially with beginners. They took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure we felt safe and confident, and never rushed anyone. Whether it was learning how to paddle or getting comfortable in the water, their encouragement made a huge difference.

The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful, and kayaking through the scenery was peaceful yet exciting at the same time. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.

Highly recommend this trip to anyone—especially if you're new to kayaking or snorkeling. You’ll be in great hands and have an unforgettable experience!

Family Fun Fabulous tour, fun informative and a yummy oysters.
Dave was great tour guide. Highly recommend

Fantastic fun way to enjoy the area - amazing way to start the day! We had an amazing day.. the weather didn’t look promising but we handed out. We were super lucky.. we had Michael he was so great very encouraging personable.. he had great fun facts about the area. We went with two kids they absolutely had a ball.. loving and learning. Showing off their canoeing skills. The snack wasn’t much but it’s only two hours so depending on your tour time.. if you should eat before or after. We would definitely recommend and we’d do it again!

Superb experience A fantastic experience for our first time in a kayak. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend checking them out.

Kayaking with sting rays and crystal clear water Deffo recommend X Region for kayaking! The area was stunning. We saw lots of sting rays, and the water was divine! So clear. The lady working there was super helpful on the phone and friendly on the day and made our visit smooth and enjoyable!

Great tour The tour was great! We've never eaten oysters before and also knew absolutely nothing about oyster farming, so it was very interesting to hear about it from the oyster farmer herself. Needless to say the oysters we got to taste were really delicious.
Kayaking through the oyster farms in the Clyde River was a lot of fun and a great way to experience the region, especially if you haven't got a lot of time as the tour only takes 2 hours. I was a bit worried about the kayaking since I haven't done this before but the briefing at the beginning made me feel safe.
Also thanks to the friendly guides, this tour was one of the highlights of our trip along the coast!

Kayaking at its best Garan was such a great Guide, didn’t just know a lot about kayaking but the history and geography of the area.
The tea in a little Bay Area was a highlight, especially since we did not know that tea included food!

Kayak hire I hired a kayak and loved the experience! Staff were super helpful and very friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone.

A must do when visiting Batemans Bay We had an amazing experience from the first call from Josh the day before to the tour with Michael. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide he was very chill and made us very relaxed and confident well educated and was amazing in a stressful situation and got my kids to safety it’s an experience we will never forget. The memories will last a life time. So well organised and the snorkeling experience was fab crystal clear water and lots of marine life. We will definitely do it again next time. Thanks region X

Great experience, great instructor! Such a cool experience getting to kayak through the oyster farms and have a tasting at the oyster shed! Our instructor, Ben was incredible! He was engaging, informative and easy to learn from. No kayaking experience needed. If you're in Bateman's Bay, you should absolutely do one of these tours!

Great fun Really fun way to spend a few hours. Really friendly guides and very knowledgeable about the waterways and the wildlife.

Suitable for novices to kayaking and great way to get out on the water.

You must do this tour!!<3 So. Much. Fun. I had an absolute ball - the tour was fab, guides were amazing, the whole group gelled so well!! Highly recommend. & Sam's Pizza of course - phenomenal!

Thank you so much for a fantastic experience today I joined the Half-Day Sea Kayak Tour from Batemans Bay, and it was an absolute pleasure—fun, smooth, and very well organised. David was friendly, calm, and highly experienced throughout the entire trip.

When my kayak tipped over due to the tides, he handled the situation perfectly. There was no panic at all—my son and I got back into the kayak smoothly and continued our journey without any difficulty. He even came back to retrieve my hat after it fell into the water, which I really appreciated.

David’s professionalism, guidance, and support were outstanding from start to finish. Thank you so much for a fantastic experience today, David!

Kind regards,
Randy

Excellent experience Excellent experience , tour guides were helpful and knowledgeable , would definitely recommend this tour.
Suited for middle aged kids and families .

Cruising the Sth coast shoreline….. Would really like to thank our guide Dave. He was really relaxed, informative and very easy to get along with. Highlight of the morning was hanging out with 6 or so seals frolicking in close to the rocks. Would recommend to experienced or novice adventures.

Fun and memorable kayak experience for my family We booked the 2 1-hour double kayak hire. It was easy to book online and the price is reasonable. The pre-event registration was also easy but our double had to register onsite using QR code. The operator was really nice and knew the river very well. We saw a sting ray during our time in the water. Overall, our experience was really great and will definitely do this again next time we are back in Bateman's Bay.

This is not my first time sea kayaking, but absolutely my worst one. My partner and I booked the tour one day earlier, and then received a message telling us to “urgently” call the agency. We did, but no calls were answered nor returned, leaving us anxious for a couple of hours. When we finally received a brief email later that evening, which just gives us a pin of the meeting point for the next morning, what the urgent need was for us to call was not explained, nor our question on what to bring was replied.

The next morning on the beach, one of the two tour guides pointed us to a kayak that has to carry the main component of the “morning tea picnic” for a whole group of less than twenty customers. We would be understanding if these loads had been equally shared by all, but our load was approximately three times more than anyone else, while (a) my partner had disclosed a medical condition via the agency’s online survey, (b) we were obviously the smallest in body size and underweight, and (c) interestingly, we were the only non-whites at the spot. Due to the weight, we had trouble pushing the kayak forward to the water from the very beginning, but the teaching on how to sit on and paddle the kayaks just started far from and without us. Then when we set out to row on water, we were unable to catch up with the group again and again because the loads quickly exhausted us. Neither of the two guides stay with us even though we said we were tired. For a moment, we could not even see any other kayak in the middle of the sea. My partner felt nausea, vomit a couple of times, and continuously quivered due to body heat loss, but all we could do was to just keep pedaling hard forward to find the group. We didn’t even bring our phones under the strong advice of the guides, and of course didn’t expect this situation. We missed almost all the explanations of points of interest, and were not included in many tour pictures. We paid for a guided tour where we were not sufficiently instructed nor accompanied. If we didn’t choose this tour, and just kayaked by ourselves, we wouldn’t even need to carry the load (which we could not enjoy at the picnic later, ironically, due to the sickness), nor would we need to catch up with anyone at the expenses of our own safety, health and comfort. When we finally managed to reach the group that had stayed at a point to watch wildlife, I asked to be towed to a near beach. The guides didn’t have medication for seasickness nor emergency blanket. Fortunately, my partner’s condition just didn’t worsen, and after a rest at the beach, we paddled back to the starting point by ourselves, and quickly drove to elsewhere to get a public toilet and pharmacy. The whole experience felt like bullying, with moments of isolation, ignorance and physical risk one after another.

After I posted my first review that describes how we were left unattended by the tour guides and isolated in the sea, with no access to emergency rescues, exhausted by the agency’s loads and showing symptoms of body heat loss and nausea, the agency continued their racist bullying by discrediting our statements with negligence or distortion of key facts, and such comments as saying that all the white guests that day did not feel the same way as we did. They did not apologize for their extremely irresponsible and offensive behaviors have led us, two human beings, and at the same time two customers of yours, into life-threatening conditions, or even show any sign of concern for what had happened to us; instead, they asked the platform to remove our review.

Wild women do Murramarang Amy and Dave guided us 7 ladies through the beautiful Murramarang National Park. On all levels they were professional welcoming and knowledgeable.
Food excellent
Accommodation excellent
The spotted gums were awesome and beautiful to see our native animals. The water was pristine. Thank you Amy and Dave for sharing this experience with us.
You are both an asset to Region X.

Sea kayaking adventure plus! Wow, what a fabulous experience this half day tour was. My husband and I had been before and enjoyed it so much that we always wanted to do it again! The group consisted of 7 in total, including Amy our tour guide and we set off from Guerilla Bay where, before we had even got in, we saw dolphins swimming in the water. We paddled out to sea and could see whales in the distance and then were incredibly lucky to have whales come over nearer to us and we saw them breaching and diving quite close by, what an amazing thing to witness. Paddling along the coastline we then saw a seal colony and pulled in to a sheltered bay area for a delicious morning tea and snorkeling and swimming opportunity before heading back to shore in the kayaks.
Our tour guide Amy was absolutely brilliant; she ensured that everyone in the group was aware of safety protocols and gave comprehensive advice on kayaking to those in the group who were new to it. Amy was very knowledgeable about the marine life and the local environment which was just great and Amy makes a great cup of coffee!! Highly recommend this tour, 10/10 for fun, value for money and adventure.

Just do it We live in Canberra and have our own kayaks but don't get to the coast enough to build our skills enough to do open water independently, so we love to book in with Region X and spend time with skilled and knowledgeable guides. We've done many short/half day local tours with Region X, including the Tollgstes (second time this weekend), and booked longer trips through them as well, including Ningaloo, Hinchinbrook, Fiji and Svalbard, and loved them all! I have zero hesitation in recommending them.

Nice but overpriced and underwhelming Tour is oversold. Oyster tasting? I expected to be eating dozens, different types, prepped different ways. We actually got three - 3 - three. Kayaking was ok - across the bay and back. Our guide (Mike) was great and stuff about oysters was interesting. But no way worth what they charge.

So Fun!!! What a special place! Our guide was wonderful, very knowledgeable and fun. The oyster tasting was not o ly super I testing but really fun! We have two younger kids and it was a perfect tour.

Loved the Cullendulla Creek glass bottom kayak tour. Mangroves and stingrays were the highlight! Looking forward to oyster tasting tour and half day tour another time.

Super friendly staff, great coffee :) Great coffee and snacks!! Also hired a kayak for an hour for a paddle around the river - super friendly and helpful staff with great tips on where to go, safety details and when the best chance is to see stingrays etc.

Kayaking with seals. We had an excellent morning snorkel and paddle with Dave. Dave tailored the experience to our mixed abilities, so everyone enjoyed themselves and also provided hot drinks, biscuits and lovely photos. The snorkeling was better than I expected, with clear waters and a range of fish, including what I think was a wobbegong.
We were lucky enough to encounter a bob of inquisitive fur seals on our trip which was unexpected and provided the highlight of our holiday.
Josh provided great communication throughout the planning and booking process and made sure the trip fitted in with our holiday plans.

Amazing experience. Our time with Mike, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing! He was outstandingly professional, incredibly kind, and super friendly. I would highly suggest this to anyone vacationing along the coast.

A magic adventure Unbelievable. The morning we headed off it poured with rain but our superstar guide Dave simply changed the plan on the spot and had such a positive outlook the whole time meaning we didn’t miss a moment and laughed and splashed our way up the river. The night at Rods farm was a highlight then the sun came out the second day so we enjoyed the picturesque paddle with plentiful food, snacks and secret beach exploring. Josh and Dave were fabulous to accomodate our kids (8&9yo) who had a blast! Highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a magic adventure - thank you so much!

Fun with some adventures. I recently visited half day sea kayak and had a fantastic experience. The staff Davis was incredibly friendly and helpful. I left feeling completely satisfied and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a kayak.

Awesome fun Jaxson was very professional made us feel safe even my 8yr sister ( Chloe), would recommend even if weather not perfect, thanks again jaxson an garran🐠🐠👍👍

Great place to hire kayaks and have a little river adventure! Jackson is an awesome instructor and made the whole experience so easy! The kayaks were great and we had a fantastic time exploring the Tomaga River.

Amazing company run by great people The tour was fantastic! The instructor was informative, friendly and supportive. No prior kayak experience necessary, but was very easy to paddle and navigate. Oysters shucked right in front of you to enjoy from the comfort of your kayak.
This company is amazing and I recommend you do any of their experiences. Every time I've dealt with them they have been professional, flexible and friendly. Good people who just want you to get the most out of life!

Highly recommend I highly recommend the oyster kayak tour! It was a fun and informative experience. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate about the ecosystem, teaching us about oyster farming. Paddling through the calm waters was peaceful, and getting up close to the oyster beds was fascinating. Whether you're an experienced kayaker or a beginner, this tour offers a perfect combination of adventure and learning. Definitely a must-do!

Best Time Ever! Such an amazing experience! Thank you Mike for making it enjoyable for us and accomodating. We hope to come back another time! 😁

A great morning in the water My two teenage sons and I had a great tour with Mike. We hadn't done much snorkelling before and this tour was a great place to learn to basics and start exploring. We saw lots of cool sea life including sting rays, a banjo shark, heaps of fish and intetesting seaweeds. The group moved along at it's own pace and Mike pointed out things as we went along. We ended up exploring much more and went out much deeper than I could have confidently done on my own. My teenagers loved it. The kayaking was pretty easy as it was a calm day. In terms of timing (on the day we went), kayaking was about one third of the tour and two thirds was snorkelling time.

We did a 2 hour kayak session with Josh, Jackson and Lawrence departing Mossy Point Boat Shed - an amazing time! The team were so much fun and made our afternoon one to remember. The office banter will live on for a long time!!

Did the oyster and kayak tour and it was the most beautiful experience. Seeing first hand the care the oyster farmers take and the guides take such special attention to care for your every need. Highly recommend the tours with this company! Thanks team!

Eye opening, inspirational and personal This was so special. The big sky was amazing. It felt like an adventure in the wild. It was amazing to discover so many beautiful coves, caves and beaches.
It was the best up close and personal views of seals of my life. I loved the connections with Josh and the other participants. Morning tea was excellent. Everything about the day was excellent.

An Exciting Experience with a Personal Touch It was an exciting adventure kayaking in the sea. We were pleasantly surprised to kayak past a colony of seals basking on the rocks. Mike was our guide and he is very competent and fun to hang out with. We truly enjoyed his company and the spread he had prepared. We highly recommend kayaking with Region X.

Ticked ALL the boxes! What an amazing 3 days!
It ticked all the boxes
- scenery was amazing (we even saw whales - well done Region X excellent organisation)
- guides were smart, informative and fun!
- accommodation was amazing - woke up to beach views and kangaroos
- food was great!

A very manageable walk for all!

I had the great pleasure of walking the three day Murramarang Coastal Journey as part of a small group of walkers with Region X. Our knowledgeable and friendly guides Eva and Gabe looked after us in every way possible. We were well led, well fed (generous tasty and healthy meals & snacks) and given a wealth of interesting information about this beautiful part of the world. Birds, animals, history and even geology! The first day was the longest, the second and third day had us walking shorter distances but the day-time hours were still filled with numerous memorable moments made all the more special by the fact that they were experienced with such a great group of people. There was also a short kayak across tranquil Durras Lake on the second day. The walking was along fairly easy tracks with some uphill and downhill sections, some steps and a few mostly easy creek crossings (it rained a lot before our walk). We had excellent beachfront accommodation at South Durras on both nights. The experience was all we could have wanted and more. I highly recommend you make the journey with Region X!

Sparkling water, dolphins, turtles and more A great half day of kayaking on the ocean, professionally organised by our knowledgeable guide Mike. Thoroughly recommend Region X.

A great walk for young and old and everyone in-between! As a solo traveller in my 60s, I embarked on this 3 day hiking trip with a bit of trepidation. I needn't have worried! Our guides, Gabe and Eva, were so friendly and welcoming - as were the rest of the group. We were all firm friends before we got to the top of the steps at Maloney's Beach! Visually, the walk was beautiful, even though we had intermittent rain every day. The coastal scenery and the bushland were spectacular. Physically, the walk was incredibly satisfying. While we had some long distances to cover, it was well within the capabilities of all our group - and none of us (except our youthful guides) were spring-chickens! At the end of each day, we felt pleasantly tired; at the start of each morning, we were ready and excited to walk again! A wonderful experience that I thoroughly recommend. Oh - and the food was great! Healthy and satisfying - and plenty of it! :)

Wonderful experience with the tour of Batemans Bay on kayaks. Very family-friendly, our two young kids age 8 and 5 joined in and had a blast. Mike, the guide was very knowledgeable.. quickly got us up to speed on the kayaks and brought us to really nice spots only a local would know. Saw kangaroos on the beach, mussels and stingrays in the water.. just an amazing morning. 100% would recommended.

Serene river experience! We had such an amazing weekend on our 2 day overnight camping tour, the weather was great for our group of 4 friends. Our guide David was great, full of information and tailored our kayak to suit our requests, he was also a great cook and we were spoilt with delicious food. Thanks Region X we will be coming back again!

5/5 would recommend! Such a great morning kayaking. Our guide was really knowledgeable and imparted so much great information to us, it was particularly great hearing about the traditional land owners and how they thrived in the area!
Another great thing was that the tour didn’t feel rushed at all.
Saw some rays, jellyfish, black swans, oyster catchers and kookaburras ????

Absolutely fantastic! Absolutely amazing experience! The pizzas were delicious, and there is plenty of room at your legs to store any leftover pizza to take home or eat at a later date. The guides are super knowledgeable and we learnt lots of fun facts about the region, flora and fauna. Would definitely recommend, a super pleasant evening activity.

Hidden treasure, friendly staff We did a 2-hour Kayak beginner tour in Batemans Bay.
Our car got a flat battery just before we leave for the tour, the ladies from Region X is kind and flexible to postpone our tour with short notice.
Michael, our Kayak instructor is super friendly, super patient and super knowledgeable.
We will explore their 5-hour Kayak + snorkeling next time when we can revisit Batemans Bay.

Kayak and snorkel We had a great morning, thanks Mike!
Mike was very calm and informative. We had a great morning tea too. We hope to come and have another snorkel soon!

Half day kyaking Amazing experience, couldn't havd asked for better tour guide, leant about history of the land and its people. Highly recommend this company and its ventures.

I joined half day kayak and snorkeling tour during the holidays after Christmas. Tour was very organised. All the equipments were provided . Very beginner friendly too . I loved it and enjoyed the day , saw sting ray and 2-3 different types of fish . I can’t swim well so I had life jacket on but it was so enjoyable, I did recordings with my phone. Such a fun day for me . Will definitely join again if I come to Batemans Bay . Tour leaders were very friendly and looked after each and everyone to ensure we all had the best time . highly recommended to join a tour with this company.

Family with 3 young kids for Xmas fun Friendly staff and easy to have fun, parking was literally 20 meters from the water. The staff had heaps of local knowledge and was exciting find stingrays

1000% need to try it Honestly couldn’t recommend this tour more. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the river and water ways as well as the local oyster industry and made it very interesting to learn about. This trip felt so safe and comfortable honestly couldn’t Recommend it more it was an amazing experience we will definitely be back!!!
