Kayak Hire

Experience the stunning coastal waters of Shoal Bay, Port Stephens with our flexible kayak hire options. Choose from a single kayak for a solo adventure or a double kayak to share the fun, exploring the coastline at your own pace. Beginners are welcome and receive free on-beach kayaking instruction to ensure confidence and safety on the water. Children aged approximately 2 years and above can join, but those aged 6 and under must ride with an adult. Our kayaks are durable, easy to use, and sit-on-top style, making them suitable for paddlers of all experience levels. Stand up paddleboards are also available for hire, providing another exciting way to enjoy the sheltered waters. The hire location is conveniently located directly opposite the beach, offering perfect conditions for paddling and sometimes even a visit from local dolphins.

Our team provides all the guidance you need to enjoy a safe and memorable experience on the water. While paddling, you can take in the unique coastal scenery, explore hidden coves, or simply relax on the calm waters. For your comfort and convenience, we provide water-resistant dry bags, but it is recommended to bring drinking water, sun protection, and a camera to capture your adventure. Wear swimwear or suitable clothing for paddling as you are likely to get wet. Our kayak and paddleboard hire offers the perfect opportunity to explore, escape, and connect with nature at Port Stephens.
