1770 LiquidAdventures

Founded in 2011 by Simon and Janina, this small crew leads sea-kayak tours out of Round Hill Creek and Bustard Bay at the Town of 1770, at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. The best-known trip is a two-and-a-half-hour sunset paddle, alongside a morning nature tour, a shorter family paddle, private tours and a kayak-with-your-dog option. Self-guided hire is also available, but the guided tours are the draw.
