Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak | Stand Up Paddleboarding in Colac

Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak is a sports club located in the Colac Otway Shire of Victoria, Australia. Situated in the beautiful coastal town of Apollo Bay on the iconic Great Ocean Road, the club offers a range of exciting activities and tours for individuals, families, and school groups.

One of the club's most popular offerings is the Seal Tour, a guided kayak tour that takes participants on a thrilling adventure to the Marengo Marine Sanctuary. Led by qualified guides, participants paddle in easy-to-use sit-on-top kayaks, receiving instruction in Surf Safety and Ocean Awareness along the way. The highlight of the tour is the opportunity to witness a resident seal colony, home to at least 100 fur seals. It's important to note that this tour is highly weather-dependent and may be cancelled last minute to ensure participant safety.

For those looking to ride the waves, Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak also offers surfing lessons. Led by qualified coaches, these one, and a half hour lessons take place on Apollo Bay's safe surf beach. Participants learn the basics of surfing, including Surf Safety and Ocean Awareness, and are provided with full-length wetsuits and safe soft 'G'-Boards with no sharp edges. The aim is to get participants standing on the board during their first lesson, fostering confidence and creating a fun and supportive learning environment.

In addition to kayaking and surfing, the club also offers stand-up paddleboarding hire, allowing individuals to enjoy a calm day on the water. Equipment hire, such as surfboards, wetsuits, kayaks, and camping gear, is also available for those who don't have their own gear.

Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak also caters to school groups, providing unique and engaging activities for students. These activities offer a break from the traditional classroom setting and give students the opportunity to learn and explore in a natural environment.
