1770 Liquid Adventures

If there is one thing we believe at Local Adventures, it’s that the best way to see the coastline is at water level. No engines, no crowds and just the sound of your paddle dipping into the glass-like surface of Round Hill Creek. When you want to truly “unplug” and connect with the nature of the Agnes Water and Seventeen Seventy, 1770 Liquid Adventures is the local team that makes it happen.

A Local Passion Project

Run by Simon and Janina, two locals who live and breathe the salt air, Liquid Adventures isn’t just a tour company – with over 19 years of local knowledge and a genuine love for the ecosystem, they’ve curated a series of tours that feel more like a day out with friends than a structured tourist activity.

The Sunset Tour: The Only One of Its Kind

There is a reason this is their “crown jewel.” 1770 is the only place on the East Coast of Australia where you can sit in a kayak and watch the sun melt directly into the ocean.

• The Experience: During the Sunset Kayak Tour, you’ll paddle from the 1770 foreshore toward the headland, often accompanied by local estuarine dolphins and sea turtles.
• The Reward: As the sky begins its nightly light show, you’ll pull up on a secluded sandbar to enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks (including their legendary homemade biscuits) while witnessing a sunset you can almost touch.

Nature and Family Fun

Liquid Adventures knows that everyone explores differently, which is why they offer specialized paddles:

• The Nature Tour: Guided by their resident “nature nerds,” this 3-hour Nature Tour dives deep into the mangroves and hidden coves of the Sir Joseph Banks Conservation area. You’ll learn about the local biodiversity: from sea cucumbers to brahminy kites—in a way that’s engaging and respectful to the environment.
• The Family Tour: Specifically designed for the little adventurers (ages 4+), this tour is all about “Family paddling and playing.” It includes fish feeding, bird identification slates for the kids, and a relaxed pace that ensures even the youngest paddlers have a blast.
• Kayak Hire: Prefer to be your own captain? You can hire single, double, or even triple kayaks (perfect for two adults and a small child) to explore Round Hill Creek at your own pace.

The “Local Adventures” Tip

We love Liquid Adventures because they are some of the local champions of sustainable tourism. They provide free downloadable photos from every tour, meaning you can leave your expensive camera safe on shore and just focus on the moment.

If you’re a Local Adventures Perks Pass holder, you can take advantage of an exclusive “Free 2hr Kayak Hire” with every tour booking. It’s the perfect excuse to spend your morning exploring the mangroves on your own after seeing the sunset with the experts the night before.
