Perfect way to experience Flinders Island - Great week on Flinders. Stunning place. Perfect way to experience it. Amazing paddling and snorkelling. Incredible variety of birds and fish. Great people and food. Sorrowful visit to Wybalenna. Lest we forget. Our guides Kai and Luke were a pleasure to paddle with and made the most of the place and conditions – very knowledgeable, helpful, likeable guys. Have also paddled South West and Tas Pen with Roaring 40s. Great operation 👌

Tasman Peninsula kayaking day trip - Mischa and Luke were excellent guides, they were welcoming and friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. The briefings delivered by Luke and Mischa were informative and clear, as were the instructions on the water. The wildlife - seals and albatross and view of the dolomite cliffs were stunning. Their local knowledge was appreciated. Lunch was tasty, hearty and very generous, enjoyed in a friendly atmosphere giving everyone an opportunity to engage in conversation. I would definitely consider booking another kayaking adventure with Roaring 40's under the leadership of Mischa and Luke.

Most worthwhile kayaking activities - I've been involved in a lot of kayaking around the world and this is an absolute five-star experience! There's a lot to see. Seals in the sun are super cute. The guides luke and kaia (I hope they misspelled his name) were very friendly and took care of the safety of the team! Have the opportunity to hope to participate in their activities again.

Overall an amazing adventure! - Trip was rescheduled due to weather constraints, but quickly rebooked for the day after. Spectacular day!! We were geared up to be kept warm and dry the whole time. The guide was super enthusiastic, taught us all about the area and showed us through all the most impressive parts of the peninsula. He also went to great efforts to capture plenty of photos of us. You could really tell Roaring 40’s wanted us to have the best experience and walk away with great memories. The paddling itself was not too strenuous, but I was certainly sore the next day - an amazing adventure and would certainly go again!

A great day of kayaking in a beautiful place - Highly recommend this trip as a kayak adventure for a day. Ali our guide was an excellent leader and very safety conscious. The lunch was great. The seals were showoffs.

Really great part of the... - Really great part of the world, weather was hit or miss throughout the day but still a great time. Knowledgable guides! Some little details could have been better communicated - like how to prep/dress in advance… but honestly a awesome experience and awesome tour!

nice bay and paddle but highlights are missing due to weather - disappointed. due to weather conditions we couldn't paddle the usual route. no high cliffs, no seals, no caves. we paddled in the bay and ended up cutting it short and instead of going to the highlights of the tour just crossed over to the other side of the bay. The weather is what it is, but I just feel like I didn't get what I paid for, which is a lot for a full day of kayaking - ~$200 USD per person.
