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.

I've just returned from Roaring 40's 7-day kayak/camp expedition in Macquarie Harbour and up the Gordon River in SW Tasmania. It was a wonderful trip, fully immersed in this beautiful wilderness area. Our guides Ally and Mischa were organised, professional and knowledgeable. The kayaks and camping gear provided were good quality, and the food was tasty, fresh and plentiful. Pre-tour communication by Roaring 40's was also good. Highly recommend!

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!

7 days Gordon River kayak expedition...sublime! This is the second expedition I've done with this outfit. They are top notch... professional, quality gear, great food. The pace was good with regular drift stops to listen to the forest. We had perfect weather, very lucky, saw dolphins, seals and a Tassie devil... And felt very moved to be where the blockade was fought over 40 years ago!!!

Brilliant day trip out of Fortescue Bay, excellently guided by Damo a enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide. Good equipment and good food. My best sea kayaking trip and I've done many.

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.

Roaring 40s has been operating for years in Tasmania and their experience shows. The tour normally runs from south to north along the coast but the day we did it the weather meant a north to south run. The trip was easy to book and the company responded to emails when we confirmed that we’d join them at the put-in place at Taroona Beach rather than central Hobart. Alison, the guide was great and adapted the trip, checking in with us, as we headed south in some fairly high seas for commercial kayaking which flattened as the wind veered to the south. Her care and attention really helped. The tour took us to places that are otherwise hard to access with some impressive cliffs and caves as we headed south. After the tour finished we headed south by road to investigate some of the places that Alison had pointed out. And the supplied lunch was hearty and tasty. We’d definitely use Roaring 40s again and look forward to doing another trip with them on our next trip to Tasmania.

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.

Thanks for a fantastic day out from Fortescue Bay, our guides were great and made it a fun, safe and very enjoyable experience. Lunch was superb too.

Awesome day out in Fortescue Bay. Guide Tory has the perfect combination of enthusiasm, knowledge and the ability to make the trip special even though she's probably done it thousands of times. Super well organised, flexible and everything is done with the genuine best interests of everyone in mind. Highly recommend this trip to anyone who has ever gazed down from the top of a sea cliff and wanted to know what the seals see!

Had a wonderful day exploring the coastline south of Hobart - everything was well organised, and Damo was the perfect guide! Totally recommend!

This tour was fabulous for many reasons the beauty of the wilderness, the guides who made every effort to ensure our experience was the best it could be with weather conditions, the mountain climbs, the small group size, the food, seeing orange-bellied parrots, beautiful campsites and so much more. The information and communication was spot on. My original trip was postponed by a day and then canceled the next after flying down and being unable to land. Roaring 40s were so generous to our group considering the weather was out of their control, offering a free guided kayaking tour to Cape Hauy on the Tasman Peninsula and a full refund or the ability to rebook another trip. Exceptional.

Excellent paddling in Fortesque Bay with Roaring 40s. Guides Damian and Maron (sorry I’m not 100% sure of the spelling) were professional, attentive and friendly throughout the day to ensure we all had a good experience. Kayaks are suitable for the conditions and they also provided all the necessary safety gear as well as some outer layer clothing in case paddlers needed it. We have paddled with Roaring 40s on multi day trips previously and jumped at the chance to paddle this with the company again and in such a stunning part of the Tasman Penisula. Thanks again for a great day out on the water.

Fantastic and a memorable kayaking day. Damian our guide is friendly and Knowledgeable as he guides us through and also gave us tips on how to paddle better and took us between cliffs to do a 180degree turn Within five minutes of launching, a few dolphins were swimming around us .. The cliffs are magical Thank you for an awesome day Very grateful

Have just had a spectacular time on the Flinders island trip with a group of friends. The island is a treasure of wild coastline, creatures and history. The paddling was wonderful but the walks and visit to the museum and Wybalenna were also memorable. Our guides Rob and Kevin were warm, knowledgeable, patient and very funny. I’d highly recommend the Flinders trip and Roaring 40’s in general, we’ll be back for more.
