My wife and I took the tour with Damo and Francie Dec 2023. It was an amazing time getting to see the coast from a unique perspective. Our guides were amazing and gave us a good time. Definitely recommend you give this tour a try.

A great day out kayaking the beautiful waterway of the River Derwent with the Roaring 40's team. The guides are friendly, professional and ensure that everyone in the group is well prepared, safe and well fed. This is a highly recommended day trip to experience the beautiful cliffs, caves and beaches from Tinderbox to Taroona.

What a fantastic day out on the water. Lunch was filling, the views amazing! Our guide did great at her job & kept us all out of trouble. The weather did change & we ended up with soggy undies but adds to an interesting day!! We even had a seal playing nearby!

We wanted to book the Tasman Peninsula tour but it was booked out on our preferred dates. Decided to book Hobart’s Cliffs and Caves and it was great! Amazing cliffs and relaxing paddling. The caves were so special and we had a dip at lunch and at the end. The guides were so much fun and helpful, thanks Reg and Jonah!! Wishing you the best! Cheers, Team Europe.

Absolutely loved this kayaking tour!! I had only had experience river kayaking in a single kayak so was a little nervous about sea kayaking in a double kayak but it was so enjoyable and beautiful! Our guides, Damo and John, were fantastic, not only making us feel really safe, but were clearly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area. The scenery was beautiful and lunch was delicious, 10/10 would reccomend!

Had a great time paddling along the coast. This was the perfect trip for my first big (for me) paddle. Haley was a great teacher and guide, learnt heaps about Kayaking the history and the environment we were in. Gourmet lunch on the fossil beach was perfect. Backing into the caves and blowhole was definitely a highlight and won't forget it any time soon. Thanks Roaring 40's look forward to the next trip.

Guides Haley & Tim were knowledgeable & fun, making the whole experience from unloading to cave paddling good stuff. Roaring Forties equipment & preparedness were top-notch, from dry bags to catering, to spray-jackets (if we had needed them). Loved looking atvthe fossil imprints at our lunch spot. Thank you all for a wonderful day on the water.
