kayaking - Sea
kayaking is a fantastic way to explore the coast line and I
should know as I used to work as a sea
kayaking guide for two years around Cape Tribulation. Though
nothing can be guaranteed you may spot (in order of probability)
: sea turtles, sea eagles, sting rays, dolphins, dugongs or whales.
