Sunset and Stars Kayak Tour

On Wallagoot Lake between Merimbula and Tathra
Discover the magic of a sunset and stars kayak tour

This unique experience is the Sapphire Coast’s newest adventure, offering you a chance to explore a protected lake as day turns to night.

Starting at the Wallagoot Lake Sailing Club, your journey begins as you paddle toward the mouth of the lake. Glide through a tranquil wetland teeming with wildlife, including black swans, pelicans, cormorants, and sea eagles. As the sun sets, kangaroos often emerge from the sandy dunes to graze along the shore.

After you enjoy the stunning sunset, we’ll stop for a delicious lakeside supper. Enjoy a platter of local Tilba cheese, crackers, and seasonal fruit, accompanied by a selection of hot drinks and orange juice.

As the stars begin to emerge, we’ll make our way back. This is when the lake truly comes alive. Listen for the chorus of frogs and the sounds of evening birds. Using our special underwater lights, we’ll search for fish, prawns, and jellyfish in the shallow, protected waters below. With lights on each kayak, we’ll paddle safely back together, savoring this serene and surreal experience.

The timing of this tour varies with the seasons to perfectly coincide with the sunset.

Supporting Conservation

$1 from every tour will be donated to South Coast Wildlife Rescue to support their vital work in this region.

Accessibility Information
  • The start time for this tour varies with the sunset. We recommend having dinner beforehand, as the “supper” we provide—a platter of cheese and fruit—is not a full meal.
  • Our expert kayak guides are able to assist everybody in entering and exiting the kayaks safely and with dignity
  • Trained assistance animals and pets are not permitted inside the kayaks for safety reasons
  • Knowledge of swimming is not a requirement, but we do encourage guests who are unable to swim to let us know in the comments section of the booking form. This will help us ensure extra safety measures are in place for those individuals.
  • We use single, double, or triple kayaks for our tours. Please indicate your preference on our booking form. For children aged 10 and under, we recommend the stability and shared experience of a double kayak with an accompanying adult.
  • Public drop toilets are located at the meeting location
  • Please bring a full water bottle, as there are no water taps at the meeting location.
  • If your group has specific requirements or needs, we kindly ask that you contact us in advance. This enables us to discuss your requirements in detail, and make necessary arrangements to ensure your kayaking experience is both enjoyable and comfortable.
  • Our kayak fleet includes single and double kayaks equipped with outrigger stabilising floats for enhanced stability. If you are interested in this type of kayak experience or if we can assist with meeting NDIS goals, please contact us.
Essential Information
  • Outside of peak summer holidays, we require a minimum of 4 guests for Bega River Kayak Tours. If booking for fewer than 4, please contact us to check availability, or book and pay for 4 guests to guarantee your departure. This ensures the tour can operate. Alternatively, you might consider booking our Pambula River Kayaking Tour, which is more popular and more likely to go ahead.
  • A 10% surcharge will be applied on NSW Public Holidays to help offset the increased wage expenses incurred on these days.
  • If we cancel a tour due to weather or operational requirements we will notify you as soon as possible and offer you a full refund or alternative activity.
