Our unique Glass Bottom Kayak Tour is often referred to as a “Wildlife Safari”, with the aim to spot as much wildlife as possible! You will uncover the hidden creatures of the pristine Cullendulla Nature Reserve on this relaxed, family-friendly 2-hour experience.
Innovative Perspex portholes allow guests to view the intricate underwater world below, with the possibility of sighting stingrays, crabs, fish, octopus and much, much more! But don’t forget to look left, right and UP for the chance to see dolphins playing, kangaroos grazing on the shore and soaring sea eagles.
Float through the mangrove maze and learn about the significance of this coastal vegetation and the protected species that call this area home. You will also learn about the Reserve’s fascinating Aboriginal history, and why it is now a protected sanctuary zone.
The tour runs twice a day and we recommend the morning tour for the best conditions and most wildlife activity! We provide delicious, healthy snacks, photographs of your adventure and guided access to an otherwise inaccessible natural wonder. We also provide you with a kayaking lesson before we go, so even first-time paddlers can get in on the fun!

Tour Confirmation:
We require a minimum of 4 people in order to operate our tours. If your tour is not yet confirmed, it means we are waiting for more people to book. We aim to give you as much notice as possible as to whether your tour is going ahead or not. As soon as 4 people have joined a tour, all guests will receive a confirmation email with all the details, including where to meet* and what to bring.
What do I bring on my tour?
Once the tour is confirmed, all guests will receive an email with a list of what to bring that is specific to their tour. The standard equipment list is as follows:
What should I NOT bring?
We recommend you leave valuables like jewellery and mobile phones behind in your car. If you would like to take your mobile phone in order to take photos, we recommend you carry it in a waterproof phone case. If you don’t have one, you can purchase one from us at the beginning of your tour. Please keep in mind we take photos of your experience which you will receive the following day, free of charge.
What if it’s raining?
Our tours operate in rain or shine! The only time we would postpone, cancel or alter the route of a tour is if the swell and wind are not suitable if it is storming or a torrential downpour. Rain can lead to a truly magical kayaking experience.

2 years agoWonderful experience. The staff were very friendly and it was good that accommodated my dog onto the kayak. Very special to us as it was my pets first kayaking experience. Happy we did that. I would recommend to come early in the morning and will before 10am. Later the weather and current gets tough and it becomes difficult to manoeuvre. However that's not in our control.

5 months agoAbsolutely amazing kayaking experience for the first time kayakers. Went with my partner and had a blast. We were supposed to go on a guided tour at first, but because there weren’t enough people we had to opt in for a private kayak hire. It turned out to be so much better than a guided tour could have been considering it was our first time. We took a double kayak and having to collaborate on rowing was a beautiful bonding experience. We will come back for one of the guided tours!

2 years agoPhenomenal experience with our guide Warwick kayaking and oyster tasting! Nola did our demo and talk about the history of oyster farming in the area and was just amazing to listen to. Very candid and insightful to hear first hand her and her family's experience living and working in Batemans bay. Our guide was so knowledgeable and patient with us especially for those who has no kayak experience! Stop in after the tour to the Oyster shed for the freshest Oysters with a beautiful view. Would 100% recommend! Thankyou guys!

a year agoIt has been a while since I last did kayaking and this tour (Glass Bottom Kayak Tour - Cullendulla Sanctuary) is a very good refresher with lots of fun! The tour guide is very outgoing and gave everyone very good instruction. I really appreciate how he also provided background to the Cullendulla Sanctuary and stressed the importance of environmental conservation and sustainability. The glassbottom tour was approximately 2.5hrs with decent duration of kayaking, rest and appreciation of the sanctuary. I truly enjoyed the experience and I highly recommend it! ( Also worth mentioning Region X staff are very friendly and helpful while deciding which tour to join. The communication is very clear, with helpful information about the tour, preparation, expectations and meeting point via email. Thank you Region X! )

3 months agoWe had a fantastic time! The demonstration and tips we were given were super helpful even for experienced kayakers and greatly benefited our enjoyment of the river. The team are all so lovely and full of local knowledge. We’ll definitely be back again.
