For a multi-day adventure from Mission Beach, Coral Sea Kayaking (opens in a new tab) runs guided expeditions combining sea kayaking, swimming, snorkelling and camping.

Explore Hinchinbrook Island

The six-day Hinchinbrook Island expedition travels along the island’s east coast before island-hopping back toward Mission Beach. It includes guided paddling, remote-beach camping, snorkelling and side trips to short walks.

Kayak the nearby islands

A three-day journey explores either the Family Island Group or Barnard Island Group, depending on conditions and the group. Expect several hours of paddling each day, with time to explore rainforest and fringing reefs. Contact the operator about current conditions and accessibility arrangements.
