Lands Edge Foundation, the state’s longest-running outdoor experience provider, has started offering water-based experiences in Kiama Harbour after getting a licence from Council.

Over January the not-for-profit organisation, which has been conducting holiday surfing lessons at Seven Mile Beach for 20 years, is offering 90 minute guided tours of the Harbour using their canoes, stand-up paddle boards or snorkels. The availability of sessions is dependent on conditions.

“You can come if you’ve never done it and we’ll teach you the basics or, if you are experienced, we can show you the best places,” says instructor Allana Dolan.

“There is so much to see in the harbour – there are plenty of fish, sea urchins and stingrays.

“Apart from visitors, I recommend people exploring their own back yards.”

Lands Edge also has a licence to hire out watercraft from Black Beach, but that isn’t happening as yet.
