Peter & Z were very nice and gave us great recommendations. We felt safe on the water with them and they were knowledgeable about kayaking & Sydney. Would definitely recommend.

Know before you go
Yes. You’ll receive a safety briefing and practical paddling tips before launching, with experienced guides supporting you throughout the session. The daytime harbour can have a little more movement from passing boats than an early-morning paddle, but the pace remains relaxed and help is available whenever you need a break.
Yes. You’ll wear a properly fitted lifejacket throughout the tour, and the kayaks are designed to feel stable on the water. The guides stay close to the group and only head out when conditions are suitable, making this an approachable way to enjoy the harbour even if swimming is not your strength.
Choose a single kayak if you would like to paddle independently. A double kayak seats two guests and allows you to share the paddling with your companion. When choosing a double kayak, book two guests for each kayak so everyone has the correct seat.
The guided route is designed to bring you directly alongside the Sydney Opera House, with close-up water-level views of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline. Your guide will also help position the group for memorable landmark photos. The precise route may be adjusted to suit harbour traffic and water conditions.
Yes. Your guides will take digital photos during the paddle, including opportunities with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the background. The photos are shared with you electronically after the session at no additional cost, so you can concentrate on enjoying the harbour.
Expect light, steady paddling at a relaxed guided pace. A basic level of fitness is recommended, but you do not need to be an experienced kayaker. The guides provide ongoing support and can assist if you need a break during the session.
