Fun Way to See Sydney Harbor

Our family of 3 enjoyed the thunder jet. You get a poncho and a life vest. Your face and hair will still get a little wet but not too bad (we sat in the middle row). The staff kindly assists you on and off the boat. I felt safe. You have the option to purchase video footage and/or photos upon return back to shore.

Book it!

Highlight of our trip! Myself and my partner went to Sydney for a weekend get away, this was our fave activity! We saw Sydney in the best light, it was peaceful and so beautiful at sunrise. You do need to have good arm strength and not mind getting damp.

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!

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!

Guided Kayak Tour of Manly Cove Beaches

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!
