Bass by Kayak

Bass by Kayak follows a small expedition party crossing from the Australian mainland to Tasmania in sea kayaks. Around 400 people have made the crossing in the modern era, and Aboriginal Australians did it during the last ice age in canoes. For the seafarer, linking together the perfectly spaced islands feels like a rite of passage. Adventure filmmaker/outdoor education lecturer Beau Miles narrates the expedition as the first ever feature film of the crossing via sea kayaks.

My take

A meditative journey across one of Earth's most challenging sea crossings, where ancient history meets modern adventure. This is the kind of film that transforms how you see the ocean—intimate, immersive, and quietly profound.
