Product Info

End your day on the water as Sydney turns golden. Departing from Lavender Bay, you'll paddle out in a small group of just five double kayaks - no crowded fleets here. Your guide, a former Department of Defence professional who knows these waters inside out, leads you past Garden Island Naval Base with stories you won't hear on any other Sydney kayak tour, then on toward the Sydney Opera House and under the iconic Harbour Bridge as the low light hits the sandstone and the sails start to glow.

As the sun drops, the harbour empties out and the city begins to switch on. You'll pause at scenic photo points while your guide captures high-resolution photos and videos of your group, delivered to you the same evening at no extra cost. The paddle back into Lavender Bay under the lit Harbour Bridge is the shot everyone remembers.

The kayaks are stable two-person touring boats suited to complete beginners, and every tour opens with a full safety briefing and equipment fitting. Calm, sheltered water and an easy pace make this a relaxed 90 minutes rather than a workout - ideal for couples, visitors and anyone who wants Sydney's icons in the best light of the day.

Departures run seven days a week at 4:00 PM, with a maximum of 10 paddlers per tour.
