What to expect
You'll launch from Raby Bay and spend three hours on the water, alternating between paddling and drifting. The bay's mangrove systems create calm, protected corridors ideal for scanning wildlife. Expect to cruise past shallow banks where marine life congregates, and between sandy spits where seabirds congregate. The midway break lands you on a quiet shoreline with tea and a light snack. Weather determines whether you head north toward islands or south along the open bay, so flexibility is built in. Your guide reads tides and conditions to find the calmest paddling.
