Our guide took just the two of us out on a Sunday morning. We had a great time surfing the waves, going through the mangroves (with little sharks all over the place) and then battling our way round the Cape. Fantastic trip and great guide! More

My partner and I went up to Cape Tribulation for her birthday and on positive review from friends in the tourism industry, we decided to join a Paddletrek tour. We have been on other kayaking tours before; Fitzroy, Dunk Island, to name a few, and this one was the best. Besides the spectacular scenery and absolute serene feeling of being... More

We did the evening trip and had a great time. Pete was friendly, knowledgeable but also relaxed( and we loved the banana bread snack while afloat!) Beautiful views of the coast with a bit of exercise! We've done a little bit of kayaking before but this trip would feel comfortable for beginners as well More

We booked the sunset kayak tour and had a great time. As we were the only booking that day we had an 'exclusive' trip with Pete. He was incredibly friendly and professional and we had great fun kayaking round Cape Tribulation. We would highly recommend Pete's kayak trips. More

I had a great morning kayaking with Pete, the conditions were perfect not too much wind and approx 28'. We saw lots of sea turtles, dolphins and solider crabs. It was fun surfing with our kayaks and going around the headland from Cape Tribulation Beach to Myall Beach. More

It was a little windy the day we headed out for our paddle which seemed to scare a few people off, so it was just my friend and I out on the water with Pete, our guide. This was fine with us and Pete made it like our own personal tour! You quickly realise the passion he has for what... More

I was looking for something a bit special to do as a surprise for my friend's birthday and so went on Tripadvisor to see what was available in northern Queensland - I chose a sunrise hotair balloon which was brilliant and then sea kayaking with Paddletrek which was even better - seriously! There was me, my friend and a couple... More

Myself and my husband booked a morning 3.5 hour tour with paddletrek and both enjoyed it immensely. I had never kayaked before and was put at ease by Pete who proved to be a great guide. We saw whales and turtles, with one cheeky turtle popping his head out right in front of me! As a not very fit person... More

My wife and I booked in for the sunset trek not really knowing what to expect since we'd never really done much kayaking before. We enjoyed it so much! We started off a little bit on the back foot due to a minor booking kerfuffle but our guide was very helpful getting us into the group and up to speed.... More
