PADDLE YOUR WAY INTO REAL WILDERNESS
We often hear talk of Tasmania’s ruggedly beautiful south-west
coast, centred on Bathurst Harbour in Tasmania’s World Heritage-listed
wilderness, but how best to really appreciate it? Arguably one of the
most impenetrable areas left to explore in the country, there’s only one
way to access its mountains and ancient forests: via sea kayak. Roaring
40ºs Kayaking offers three-, five-, and seven-day guided expeditions
deep into this wild place that’s kissed by the Roaring 40s winds that
deliver crisp air here all the way from Chile. Each day you’ll set out
from a standing camp in the rainforest to explore the islands, channels,
white sand beaches and mountaintops. And you’ll be treated to the
finest Tasmanian produce and select wines to boot, because you deserve
a little comfort when exploring the great beyond after all.
