Sand Island Excursion
DAY TRIPS
Sand Island Excursion!
Explore the sea caves of Sand Island
Make the 3 mile crossing from beautiful Little Sand Bay over to Sand Island. This island has some wonderful and deep sea caves! Have lunch in Justice Bay. Enjoy a hike to the historic lighthouse.
This day trip is dependent on conditions. Also, participants should have at least some experience sea kayaking. Or, schedule this as a second sea cave day trip. Do the mainland sea caves on your first day to get some paddling reflexes & then be ready to paddle to Sand Island on your second day.
Cost is $160 per person.
Trip includes guides, gear and lunch.
Typically we will wear wetsuits so bring shorts, tights or a swimsuit to wear underneath them.
Typically Tandem Kayaks are used as they tend to be more stable and a bit faster. Solo kayaks are an option, however, you’ll need to discuss this with your guide ahead of time.
Our automatic booking accepts up to 6 on any given day. If you have a group size that exceeds availability, e-mail us to see if we can accommodate your group with an extra guide.
