21.01.2022 Incredible week to kick off 2021 in the South-West world heritage, stable weather, lots of swims and some mountain climbing thrown in as well! Thanks all involved for a fun journey, Tom and Mischa

21.01.2022 Feeling as happy as these paddlers now that Tassie is getting some sun on this winter’s day #discovertasmania #seakayakingtasmania #happypaddlers

21.01.2022 Fish and chips never tasted so good. Cheers for the afternoon paddle

20.01.2022 A little blowie on the Derwent today, but nothing these legends couldn’t handle. Cheers for the ripper day. Lachie and Reg

19.01.2022 Seals,seals, seals! Along with calm conditions against the cliffs, meant a morning filled with rock gardening! A southerly at our backs to guide us to lunch, and a breeze to challenge us on the way home. An absolute stunner today! Thanks crew. Tory, Dan and Lupi

19.01.2022 Calm enough to get in to all of the caves today, beautiful conditions and a lovely group of paddlers, cheers, Hayley

18.01.2022 A sunny day out, with a stonking Northerly to ‘sail’ us home after a feed of fish and chips. It sure feels good to be out exploring the Hobart waterfront, especially while the Aurora Australis is still in town. Big thanks to the young families joining us, it was a perfect day to try kayaking for the first time. Cheers! Tory and Melzi

18.01.2022 Had a great morning today out on the water. A little bit of surprise rain kept things interesting but some hot fish and chips made it all worth while. Thanks for the good times team - Josh and Tim

17.01.2022 How amazing is this news on the endangered Orange-bellied Parrot (OBP). Congratulations to everyone involved in the OBP recovery efforts.

14.01.2022 MEET OUR CREW | DAMIAN (DAMO) Damo is a Tassie local who finds it very difficult to be contained indoors. This coming season will be Damo's 6th guiding for Roaring 40's; he reckons his office is hard to beat! Damo also works as an Outdoor Education Instructor for a number of local schools. He loves teaching skills but more importantly sharing his froth for the amazing places Tassie has. His favourite place to go kayaking is the Tasman Peninsula. "It's world class paddling and it's pretty close to home. There's heaps of amazing wildlife, massive sea caves and huge cliffs! We are very lucky."

12.01.2022 Looking for some school holiday fun? Kids love our Hobart City paddle and it includes fish and chips. Kids are only $50 this school holidays when you use the code 'KIDS50". #holidayherethisyear #discovertasmania #schoolholidays #schoolholidayfun #schoolholidayactivity

12.01.2022 Had a really lovely morning with this group. We got to explore the Hobart waterfront and experience the hustle and bustle of the morning ferry departures . Thanks for great morning team - Caf and Tim

12.01.2022 How not to drive your kayaking friends away! Camp hygiene and staying clean on a kayaking adventure is crucial for you and your health as well as the health (and noses) of your kayaking companions. Feeling clean each night can also help you sleep and ultimately improve your sense of well-being. Our latest blog has some simple wilderness hygiene tips to keep you fresh and healthy on any kayaking adventure.... https://roaring40skayaking.com.au/kayak-camp-hygiene

12.01.2022 Dan has been enjoying paddling his new kayak from Expedition Kayaks (an Audax). This week he enjoyed a muesli bar with the birds on the Iron Pot, just south of Hobart. If you see a very shiny orange sea kayak around Hobart say hi to Dan :)

11.01.2022 Today had so many highlights it’s hard to list them all... from hilarious seal antics to outwitting the cunning forest ravens. We experienced some great rolling swell with glassy conditions. The speed among the group meant we even got to check out the Moai. Thanks for an amazing first day trip of the season, Damo and Melzi

10.01.2022 Wilderness views across Forest Lagoon to Mt Rugby in the Southwest Tasmania National Park. #discovertasmania #seeaustralia #seakayakingtasmania #southwestnationalpark #landscape

10.01.2022 The Friends of Melaleuca are currently working on re-creating a more homely look to the living room at the Clayton's Corner house by finding objects to replicate some of those in Win and Clyde’s living room fifty years ago. This has turned into a fun treasure hunt! https://wildcaretas.org.au//friends-of-mela/treasure-hunt/

09.01.2022 So very exciting to be back on the water this week with Mt Carmel School on Tuesday and today Oatlands School. Today was part of Paddle Australia's Paddle Oz program - introducing students to the joys of paddling as well as essential safety tips. Melzi and Dan are showing off their new Paddle Australia gear too :)

08.01.2022 Thanks to this crew for a great morning out on the water on our Hobart City tour

08.01.2022 Reg and Josh had some fun paddling off waterfalls on the Lea River last weekend. They were up there for the Lea Extreme Race. Josh competed (and came 7th amongst Tassie's best paddlers) and Reg enjoyed many non-competitive runs down the river and helped out with river safety.

07.01.2022 Baby birds and pig face and big boats! Great group and a great day for it - thanks all for a lovely trip around Hobart’s waterfront. Dan

06.01.2022 Reggie had a great trip kayaking on the Franklin River this week. He was lucky enough to be paddling with renowned Tassie photographer and adventurer Matthew Newton who took these amazing photos. Thanks Matt. PS. Reg is in the orange kayak with the green stipe on his helmet.

04.01.2022 Got out on the water with some locals from the valley and the sunny side family crew. Cheers Reggie

04.01.2022 Beautiful Bathurst Harbour deep in the Southwest Tasmanian Wilderness. No roads for over 100km. How lucky are we to paddle here each summer. #discovertasmania #seetasmania #seakayakingtasmania #bathurstharbour #southwestnationalpark

03.01.2022 Jen was on stage last week at the Tasmanian Tourism Conference on a panel discussing some exciting initiatives for Tasmania’s climate future and looking towards a carbon neutral tourism industry. A lot of work to go but we can't wait to be involved.

03.01.2022 It’s been a long winter of anticipation, and today Damo got to take these two awesome guests out on the Hobart City Kayak tour for some great paddling and delicious fish and chips. Snow on kunanyi/Mount Wellington and sunshine on the water, Tassie spring paddling at its best. See you out there!

02.01.2022 Great news on the Orange-bellied Parrot! This summer the adult bird population at Melaleuca reached 51 and after the breading season there were 192 birds. From only 17 adults five years ago this is a very exciting milestone. For the full update: https://dpipwe.tas.gov.au//record-number-of-orange-bellied

02.01.2022 One from the Flinders Island archives and something you won't see very often - Reg giving steering control to Jen. I am sure you can imagine the arguments this day - Jen was never close enough to the rocks! #flindersisland #discovertasmania #seetasmania #seakayakingtasmania
