Then we’ll hit the ocean where you can impress your friends (and yourself) getting out past the shore break. Once out on the water you’ll learn about local Aboriginal stories and sacred places, paddle along surfing mecca “The Pass”, Wategos millionaire row, and Australia’s most Easterly point Cape Byron.
Take in the views of our stunning coastline. Byron Bay is truly one of the most naturally beautiful places on the East Coast of Australia. Gaze upwards to our Cape Byron Lighthouse, almost 120 years old now in all her majestic glory overlooking the Bay.
Keep an eye out for those cheeky dolphins, whales when in season and turtles popping up for a breath of fresh air. It’s a true privilege to be in the ocean and seeing wild sea life.
Paddle back to the main beach and enjoy the stunning view of the Byron Bay coast line and lighthouse. You might like to surf a wave back to shore – we will show you how.

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 ????????
We went on our tour today in pretty rough seas, wind, and big waves (because of the cyclones up north!). The team was incredibly supportive, cheering us along every step of the way. They also had 4 staff members in our group which meant we each had a person helping us get out through the surf and extra hands were waiting halfway in case we fell off or drifted up the beach, which most of us did considering the conditions we were faced with.
An allnround excellent experience and would recommend it to anyone - even if you are nervous. My aunty was so nercous she cried 3 times before we even left the sand and she got out and was happy as ever!
Thank you to Emma, Beau, Chris and Arlo. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
A fun day out, the guides were helpful however hard to hear at times due to a large sized group.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GO-SEA KAYAK TOURS AT BYRON BAY
Tour guides were super friendly and knowledgeable. Also super caring when it come to people getting sea sick. Offered to take people back early etc.
It was so much fun to paddle out onto the ocean. The guides were super nice and they made the tour an epic adventure. We saw dolphins and turtles which was really cool.
I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone!!
The team at Go Sea Kayak are such legends! Caring, funny, truly passionate and love what they do.
Unlike all the other activities I had booked, it didn't felt rushed, touristy and money orientated. A great local business to support, and an afternoon to remember. The dolphins came to say hi and the guides were full of facts about the original land owners. A great vibe all round. Highly recommend ✨✨✨
