Overview

Come enjoy a morning sea kayak adventure on Sydney's beautiful harbour. No engine noise or fumes, just the sound of your paddle in the water and the sea birds squawking above! We'll experience the built environs and get up close and personal with many of the harbour's natural wonders and marine inhabitants. We'll paddle to the center of the harbour where we'll get some photos of you framed by the Harbour Bridge (I'm a professional photographer in my other job so expect good pics - no charge of course!) We'll then land and explore Goat Island (Memel in the local Aboriginal Language) before paddling back via Darling Harbour. Goat Island is closed to the public and landing is by special permit only. Your permit is included as part of the tour. After we're finished your welcome to have a hot shower before treating yourself to a great lunch at the famous Sydney Fish Markets a short walk away.

Great way to spend a morning on the water

Fantastic tour, so much fun and would highly recommend. Very informative and never felt rushed. Wandering around Goat Island gave a great insight into the history of Sydney.
It was hard for me, but I was glad I made it

Had around 4 hours paddling with Matt as our guide. There were 6 of us. Matt gave a good explanation of how to paddle since I was not good with paddling
One very happy paddler

I had enjoyed the morning paddle with our guide, Matt. He is very engaging, a naturalist. The seakayak was of high quality, Werner paddle, light to handle.
The walk and history of Goat Island is an eye opening. The clean fresh air with Harbour Bridge in the background, complete a very satisfying experience. Thank you Matt.
