    Kayak Marine Park

    This is one of my favourite activities when we stay at Seagate Beach Retreat which is only 5 minutes away. Grab a Kayak and explore the many islands of the Shoalwater Marine Park. Rivergods takes you on an escorted tour and you get as close as you can to many forms of marine life. Even snorkel with inquisitive seals, penguins and dolphins. These islands are very close to the mainland so you don't have to be very fit to have a go at this. Not to be missed!
