Above and Beyond!
Sam is a lifelong kayaker and customizes this must-do adventure for all levels of ability. This experience bested our expectations including one of the best breakfasts at Thelma and Louise half way through the kayak. If you are on the fence…. Jump off and get into the water for the best views of Sydney and a bit of history lesson as well!

Organized and Spectacular!
After I booked the tour, the operator reached out to me and asked if I wanted a tandem kayak as there was one left. I replied yes. A day prior to the experience, our guide reached out to remind us of our show time which was 06:15 in the morning as it was a sunrise kayak trip. The booking itself says 05:45, and I reached out to confirm the time. I appreciated the communication. My husband and I woke up early and called an Uber as it was the easiest way to get to the meeting point. Fifteen minutes by car versus almost an hour via public transit. As soon as we got to the park, there were several other guys there to make sure we were at the right spot. We waited twenty minutes for everyone else to show up which turned out to be about fifteen total people or so. If you are wearing shoes or have a backpack, the guide provides a basket where you can place them and locks them up in his vehicle. I would recommend showing up in sandals/flip-flops and have a towel. The guide also provides life vests. The tour was very organized as there are several guys helping with the launch. They hold the kayaks for you to step in. During our paddle, everyone on the team took photos for the participants. There are plenty of photo opportunities, and it was an easy paddle because there wasn’t much wind. If you haven’t paddled before, you can be towed by a team member. I’d say we paddled about a mile before reaching the best area to watch the sunrise. It was a spectacular view which was enhanced by Sydney Harbor’s beauty. We then paddled back to the launch point where we were helped out of the kayaks. You will probably get a little wet here! If the guide used his phone for your photos, he will send them to you. The ferries started running after we got back, and the best way back to the city is by taking the ferry to Circular Quay. The wharf is a five minute walk away from the launch point. I enjoyed how convenient that was. It was very well-planned and gave us a unique experience in Sydney. What a spectacular way to end our visit!

Great First Time Experience
Great experience. Each class is small - 5 people. I had never surfed before and my coach, Jesse, was able to tailor his feedback and adjust on the fly what I needed to do. For those who have never surfed before like me, expect to learn a lot and get in a lot of reps in a short period of time.

This was a blast. We went...
This was a blast. We went with our kids, ages 9 and 11, along with friends whose children were of a similar age. The kids absolutely loved it. Isaac was outstanding and did a great job making the ride lively and also provided great facts about Sydney.

Great morning on the water!
If you’re an experienced paddler or looking for a workout, you might want to message the guide and arrange for a separate session. If there are other less experienced paddlers in the group you’ll paddle less but it’s still a great time being on the water. It’s a lovely area and Matt shares a great deal of history. He’s super knowledgeable and a great kayak instructor. I enjoyed this experience a lot and took time after to visit the Fish Market which is next door! Don’t miss it!

Lots of fun.
Oz Jet Boating was fantastic fun. Very focused on safety and fun. The ride was thrilling and the view of the harbour great. Got very wet but we were told this would happen. Recommend using the longer spray coats to stay a bit drier. A great way to see some of the harbour. Would love to do it again.

Great tour and lovely helpful staff! Really enjoyed it!
This was good fun! If you aren’t used to kayaking it isn’t the easiest so bear this in mind and do a 2 seater one if you can to share the task.
Went to some lovely spots and finished with the Q station. Hannah, our guide, was friendly and knowledgable! She provided us with a nice drink and little cake snack on one of the beaches which was well received!
The kids were a bit tired so we opted for a boat ride back and the lady who drove the boat gave us some lovely information on other beaches we could walk to after the tour for the afternoon. This was a lovely suggestion! Thank you!
