KI-yak : Blogging about Sea Kayaking on Kangaroo Island, South Australia
"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea"

Welcome to KI-yak

Well, here it is...Sea-Kayaking Kangaroo Island's first foray into the cyberspace blog-o-sphere.

KI-yak is all about sea-kayaking on Kangaroo Island, Australia's third largest island off the coast of South Australia. It's a wonderful place, with the geographic separation from the mainland ensuring (mostly) pristine native vegetation in the various National Parks and conservation areas, as well as abundant native wildlife. Tourists come here to see koalas, wallabies, goannas, echidnas, seals, sealions, penguins, to dive with leafy sea-dragons and, of course, kangaroos!

Sealions are inquisitive and often approach kayaks


Sea Kayaking Kangaroo Island

With over 550 kilometres of coastline, Kangaroo Island is a sea-kayaker's dream. Paddling options vary from protected bays and lagoons, long deserted beaches, to rugged surf-coasts and the highest sea cliffs in South Australia. On the way you will see dolphins, penguins, seals & sealions, ospreys, white-bellied sea-eagles, spectacular geology, trilobites, shipwrecks...and maybe the odd great white shark.

KI-yak hopes to aid sea-kayakers visiting Kangaroo Island who wish to explore the coastline safely and use local knowledge of access/egress spots, best paddling locations and other valuable info.

You can usually get hold of me via the Kangaroo Island Medical Clinic, email me through the website KI-yak.com.au or check out the infamous Roadkill Recipes at www.wrongsideoftheroad.com.au.
