What to expect
You'll start with a safety briefing and gear fitting, then launch your kayak onto the Broadwater's calm surface. Paddle in a group following your guide, watching for dolphins that frequently feed in the area. When conditions are right, you'll anchor or paddle slowly to snorkel spots where schools of colourful fish swarm around you. The water is warm and clear enough for decent visibility. Expect to spend roughly equal time kayaking and snorkelling, with plenty of floating and observation moments between.
