Join us on an unforgettable journey exploring the wonders of Mandurah's waterways with our 'Estuary Escapades: Paddling Stories & Dolphin Watching Adventure' kayaking tour.

As your Eco Certified Kayaking Guide and a trained Dolphin Watch volunteer, Chelle Fisher invites you to be part of a unique adventure that combines exploration with citizen science. This is your special invitation to participate in some dolphin watching as part of the Mandurah Dolphin Watch Project.

We'll paddle under the Mandurah Bridge and along the eastern foreshore, passing by the new estuary pool, Kwillena Gabi. Throughout the tour, you'll learn how to identify individual dolphins that inhabit Mandurah's waterways, and how to report your sightings, contributing to research on the Mandurah dolphin population. All participants will receive a free copy of the latest finn guide to help identify our local dolphins.

As we navigate Mandjar Bay to Stingray Point, we'll keep an eye out for the breathtaking beauty of ospreys, the elegance of black swans, and cheeky cormorants dining on the iconic Blue Manna Crab. We'll pause to admire the majestic Moreton Bay Fig Tree at Stingray Point and look out for Pelican Percy at Stingray Wharf, often seen mingling with local fishermen.

Our adventure continues through Mandurah's Venetian Canals, marveling at the grandeur of million-dollar homes lining the water's edge. At Dolphin Quay, we make a short pitstop at Keith Holmes Reserve and take a brief walk to Lily Paris, a French Cafe & Patisserie specializing in beautiful macarons, meringues & croissants. Enjoy a delightful bite and drink, rejuvenating ourselves before resuming our kayaking expedition.

On the return paddle, we pass the poignant Mandurah War Memorial, paying our respects to its significance. The journey along the western foreshore allows us to soak in the scenic vistas and reflect on the captivating stories and sights encountered throughout our adventure.
