Thank you Claudia and Frank for your nice review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your day sea kayaking to Dunk Island with us. We are very lucky to have such beautiful tropical islands in easy reach from South Mission Beach as we love taking people out paddling to explore them.
Thanks so much for your great review, we are glad you had a lovely day out exploring the islands and that David could answer all your questions, he is very knowledgeable about the islands flora and fauna. We will look forward to hopefully seeing more students from the School of Field Studies up on the tablelands. Enjoy the rest of your stay in the tropics.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are very glad that you both enjoyed your experience out on the water with us. David and Michelle take great pleasure in showing off our beautiful islands and coastline here in the tropical north, as well as cooking up a storm in the camp kitchen. We hope to perhaps see you both again sometime out on the water.
It is an efficient operation and you have to be prepared to help gear up and launch the kayaks - should be assumed really. Kayaks in good condition and great gear to go with it. Went out on a day trip to Dunk Island and had a fabulous time.
We have just returned from the last seven day trip of 2012, along east coast of Hinchinbrook Island, then island hopping for several days to Mission Beach. The trip was perfect, bright sunny days, light winds, warm swimming/snorkeling, sleeping sheet only nights. Wild life seen included turtles, dugongs, dolphins, goannas and sea eagles. Our guides were Dave and Atti, very experienced, great conversationalists, both with an infectious love and lore of the local area and nature. Meals were excellent, fresh and varied. Spending each night on a different wilderness beach was very special.
Thanks so much for your lovely review, I am so glad that you have fond memories of your day paddling to Dunk Island. I truly love these islands and enjoy showing them off to visitors to our beautiful Mission Beach region. I hope you enjoy lots of other sea kayaking trips in the near future.Cheers and smiles,Attie
Well let's start with the fact there was nothing not to like about this trip!We did the day trip to Dunk Island and went out on an absolutely beautiful morning and Atti was our guide for the day, and she was absolutely brilliant! However, prior to going out we had lessons from David on the beach about how to use the kayaks and just to familiarise ourselves with them. Then our trip to Dunk Island began, the water was calm and we had a relaxing paddle over to the island, nothing was a rush, we were able to take our time and enjoy the surroundings and before we knew it we had arrived on the island. When we got there, we got out on a beautiful beach and had a short walk round, and were given some homemade flapjack for a morning snack - yummy!We then went for a paddle around the coastline, again seeing some beautiful scenery and wildlife before making our way to another lovely beach where we had some time to snorkel while Atti laid out a freshly prepared lunch for us which was as equally scrummy as the flapjack! After lunch we paddled over to a smaller island where the beach was all made up of broken pieces of coral which was really amazing, Unfortunately the day then had to come to an end, but what a wonderful day it was. Definitely a trip worth doing, Atti and David can't do enough for you, they were both so friendly and welcoming, if we'd have had more time we'd have loved to have done either their 3 or 7 day camping trips, one to do in the future!
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we love showing visitors the highlights of Dunk Island, especially with the perfect weather and clear water we have at the moment. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Mission Beach and all the best to you both for 2014.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a lovely review. I am so glad that you enjoyed your paddling experience visiting beautiful Dunk Island with me. I feel very lucky to be able to show visitors these stunning tropical islands and we do our very best to make sure everyone enjoys their time on the water with us. We hope your visit to Far North Queensland will provide you with lots of fond memories. Ciao for now, Attie
Thank you for your review and choosing to join our sea kayaking trip to Dunk Island. It is nice to know that you really enjoyed your day paddling with me. Dunk Island is certainly a tropical paradise as our all our nearby islands. We are very lucky to spend our days showing them off to visitors to Mission Beach. We look forward to hopefully taking you out to spend a few more days on the islands with us. David's delicious meals on our longer trips have built up quite a reputation.
