Finalist Top 20 BEST AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCES 2009 by Travelling in Australia Magazine.
Breathe in the fresh air, and soak up the wonderful scenery as your guided kayak group paddles a short way across the calm blue water to Wavebreak Island. Marvel at the array of sea-life - dolphins, stingray and birdlife you may encounter along the way.
Now it is time to immerse yourself in the warm waters, snorkel straight off the sandy beach, feed the sub-tropical fish, swim, or soak up the sun from the golden shoreline of Wavebreak Island - the choice is yours.
Next, a hearty appetite is rewarded with a traditional Aussie billy tea breakfast on the beach - fresh fruit and tasty damper bread served with traditional fruit jam and billy tea, whilst your guide shares ancient stories about the island.
Your guide will awaken your senses to the nature that surrounds you and help you discover bush tucker as he paints a picture of the aboriginals, land and wildlife as it has been for thousands of years.
Now it's time to explore with your guide and participate in a mock hunt for the Golden Swamp Wallay (unique to this island), discover other wildlife in its natural habitat and experience anicent Aboriginal ceremony.
The paddle home, although just 30 minutes, provides the time to reflect on this awesome adventure and your newfound insight into an ancient culture.

Participant Guidelines
Balunjali Tours operates daily and are suitable for all fitness levels and ages including accompanied children 8 – 14 years. Children 6 – 7 years are on request. Our kayaks are "sit on top", tri-hull with a low centre of gravity which makes them extremely stable - and self draining so the kayak does not hold water. In addition your Balunjali tour guide will provide you with a "trip plan" - including paddling and water safety information before your tour commences, so you'll be confident and at ease even if you have never kayaked before. In addition a Personal Floatation Device is provided and Balunjali Tour Guides are qualified sea kayak instructors.
