You push off from a small public car park at Surfside and the bay opens like a slow-moving map: rock shelves to one side, shallow sandflats ahead, and a ribbon of mangrove channels waiting to be explored.

Operated by Region X · Batemans Bay, New South Wales
You push off from a small public car park at Surfside and the bay opens like a slow-moving map: rock shelves to one side, shallow sandflats ahead, and a ribbon of mangrove channels waiting to be explored.
This guided glass-bottom kayak tour follows Batemans Marine Park’s gentle currents, giving a clear window into the underwater world without getting wet. Guides point out blue swimmer crabs feeding along tidal flats, stingrays gliding over sand, and seabirds working the shallows. Geologically the coast is shaped by sandstone shelves and estuarine sedimentation; culturally the waters belong to the Yuin people, whose connection to the coast is woven into the tour commentary.
Expect steady paddling across sheltered water, with stops over the sanctuary zone at Cullendulla where the kayak’s transparent hull lets you study seagrass beds and small fish. The operator issues equipment, covers safety and basic paddling technique, and includes light snacks before the return leg along the bay edge.
Practical notes: the trip runs roughly 2–2.5 hours, requires a moderate fitness level and basic balance, and is not recommended for those with serious back or heart conditions. There are no toilets at the launch site; plan accordingly. Morning slots are cooler and increase marine visibility; afternoons offer warmer air but stronger sun. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, water, and footwear that can get wet. The experience is low-impact when visitors follow guidance—stay in craft, observe quietly, and leave wildlife undisturbed—making it an ideal way to connect with Batemans Bay’s coastal ecology.
No—guides provide basic instruction and the kayaks are stable; some comfort paddling and balance helps.
Yes—children must be accompanied by an adult; operators may set age or weight limits so check at booking.
Common sightings include blue swimmer crabs, stingrays, small schooling fish and coastal birdlife in the mangroves.
No—there are no toilets at the launch car park, so plan accordingly before you arrive.
