Light to Light Walking and Kayaking Tour, 3 nights

About this tour

A 4-day coastal exploration connecting two lighthouses across New South Wales, blending guided walks through heathland and forest with paddling stretches along the shore. You'll base yourself at Green Cape Lighthouse, a historic keeper's cottage perched on a windswept peninsula overlooking Disaster Bay, and wake each morning to chef-prepared meals using local ingredients. The itinerary weaves between clifftop vistas, sheltered coves, and patches of native bush where wallabies and sea birds appear regularly. Navigate Expeditions plants a tree in your name as part of their conservation commitment.

Highlights

• Stay in heritage lighthouse keeper's cottage with bay views
• Walk coastal heathland and open forest with wildlife sightings
• Kayak protected waters between rocky headlands
• Three days of locally sourced, cooked meals included
• Dual-sport itinerary—no single activity dominates
• Peninsula steeped in maritime wreck and salvage history

What to expect

Each day alternates between walking and kayaking segments, rarely stretching beyond 2–3 hours of activity. Mornings might start with a forest walk through low scrub and she-oak, afternoons on the water in calm bays where paddling is steady rather than strenuous. The terrain is undulating but not mountainous; trails are well-marked and used regularly. You'll return to the lighthouse base each evening, shower, and eat together around a shared table. Weather on the coast changes quickly, so expect wind and occasional rain regardless of season.

Good to know

Moderate fitness required; walks involve uneven ground and occasional steep sections. Not suitable for spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health. Bring warm layers and waterproof jacket. Kayak experience helpful but not essential—instruction provided. Mobile reception is patchy.
