Kayaking at Garden Island


Sunday the 5th April saw 9 members and two invited guests from the Red Bubble Community take to the waters in Kayaks of Garden Island with Phil the owner of Adventure Kayaking S.A, who gave an informative lecture about the wrecks and dolphins along the way.


The weather started out fine with a slight breeze, which created mini waves with the changing tide, with our cameras at the ready and with the wind at our backs

We made our way around the Island and headed for the wrecks, taking photos not only of the wrecks but of the members as well, we kept on paddling around to the Power Stations with many sightings of two dolphins, mum and baby.

Rain clouds were threatening and coming closer so we made our way back to the car park landing, whilst being escorted by the dolphins.

A great day was enjoyed by all with no mishaps, collisions or capsizing of kayaks and with no-one heading in the wrong direction.



We are looking for our next adventure, somebody has suggested “sky diving” over Willunga Jetty, just to get a different perspective of that well taken icon.!!!!
