Staying Young at Heart The Young at Heart program provided a great opportunity to learn new skills and make friends. Each week was a little more challenging but never beyond our capability.

Great fun, confidence building and connecting to local community I completed a 6 week Young at Heart Kayaking Course. It gave me the confidence to kayak more, I met some fabulous people and found place locally i have never visited before

The best south coast immersion experience What a sensational morning! We paddled out over a gentle swell to a hidden, deserted cove where we snorkled in cold, crystal clear water before warming up with hot (brewed!) coffee. We lazed and explored for a while then had a cruisey paddle back exploring the nooks and crannies of the coastline. David was an awesome friendly and knowledgeable guide, pacing us perfectly. All up this was a really special experience. Now feeling wonderfully tired, salty and happy!

Give it a try... This was a perfect introduction to multi-day bush walking. Our guides, Eva and Dave, and fellow walkers accommodated my slower pace very kindly. The surroundings were beautiful and full of variety.

Amazing Oyster tasting Kayak tour It was an absolutely amazing experience. We were able to kayak alongside an experienced tour guide (Michael, who was epic btw!), taste local oysters and listen to a local 4th generation oyster breeder talk about their art in the oyster industry! Don’t even contemplate, if you’re looking for something to do in Batemans Bay, you gotta check Region X out and book this tour!

Wonderful day exploring the Yuin Country coastline We had a terrific day and half day sea kayak with Gaz and Michael. We loved the paddle to black rock and the pit stop on the beach for morning tea. We even had visitors the last portion of the trip with dolphins close by and whales in the distance! I thought I would have needed more strength for having to paddle for a few hours but the kayaks are so sturdy and do most of the work. We are local and already looking forward to another tour at some stage. Thank you!

Great guides, great location Guides David and Jackson looked after us well and took us on a great tour into the mangroves on the incoming tide (which as I understand may or may not be part of your tour, depending on conditions). Thoroughly enjoyed by all the family.

The best way to explore the Bay One of the best ways to experience the Bay - the team makes it very interactive and fun at the same time, even for first timers. We went up all the way to the estuary and kayaking through the mangrove trees, which would be the only way to explore that area in style. The trip is also separated with small breaks and the kids were having an awesome time playing games up on the beach. Most of all, the team was always there making sure you're looked after throughout the entire journey. Highly recommended! Thank you for making our morning so enjoyable!

Great way to experience Batemans Bay We did the pizza and paddle experience at sunset. Jaxon and Michael were fantastic guides, friendly, helpful and accommodating. The pizza on a kayak was unique and delicious, and the kayaking around the Clyde at sunset and in the evening was beautiful. Definitely recommend this trip.
