Bayplay Adventure Tours Pty Ltd Portsea Kayaking

Kayak the Mornington Peninsula Coast Line & Dolphin Sanctuary:


The fun, eco-friendly Kayaks give you the rare opportunity to encounter dolphins & seals as you paddle around the picturesque Point Nepean National Park or up towards Point King Lookout and the famous millionaire walkway! This is the perfect tour for those with a sense of adventure and interest in nature.
Port Phillip Bay is home to a population of around 80 bottlenose dolphins. These mammals rely almost entirely on the bay for all their daily needs. They rarely, if ever, venture outside its waters. The small population size makes these dolphins vulnerable to extinction.
Marine mammals are given special protection under law in protected areas including the Ticonderoga Bay sanctuary zone, located north-west of Portsea near Point Nepean. Dolphins often feed, rest and socialise in this area due to the availability of food and its protected nature.
