About
Apollo Bay Surf & Kayak run Kayaking trips to the Marengo Marine Sanctuary, an Australian Fur Seal Colony. We use ‘sit-on-top’ kayaks to see the seals & their pups lounging on the rocks, or even swimming & playing around the kayaks. Join our surf lessons and Stand Up Paddle board lessons. Beach and bike hire is also available. Alternatively explore the 'Great Ocean Walk' or cycle the 'Great Ocean Road'.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What a great experience. Up close and personal with a large number is seals who just wanted to play. An easy paddle.
Finlay was an excellent guide who did a great job.
Well worth the money.

We felt to be in very good hands with Quinn giving good instruction beforehand and allowing us time amongst the seals whilst also maintaining respectful distance from the rocks where the seals were resting, fighting, playing etc

Weather conditions were perfect, Quinn friendly and knowledgeable, saw soooo many seals. It was an incredible experience we will never forget. If we’re in the area again, we will definitely do this again.
