Experience the most awarded Sunrise Kayak Tour on Sydney Harbour
Sunrise Kayak and Coffee
Sydney's Most Awarded Kayak Company
Before the sun has risen and the city wakes up, Sydney Harbour is at its most tranquil. This is your chance to experience the "glassy" water and quiet magic of the harbour on our signature Sunrise Kayak and Coffee tour.
It isn’t just about the paddling; it’s about sitting back in your kayak, sipping a hot barista-made coffee, and watching the colours change over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It is a perspective of the city that even locals rarely get to see.
Tour Highlights:
The Coffee:
We brew your coffee fresh every morning right here at the SBK Eco Hub espresso machine. Whether you want a latte, tea, or hot chocolate, it’s served piping hot in a splash-proof eco-cup so you can enjoy it right there on the water.
The Calm:
Unlike the busy daytime harbour, the water at sunrise is often flat and peaceful. It is the perfect time to spot marine life and hear the sounds of the morning.
The Photos:
You don't need to risk your phone. Our guides carry professional cameras to capture high-quality photos of you with the icons in the background.
What You Can Expect
Our friendly team will meet you at 1 Railway Avenue, just back from Lavender Bay boat ramp (look for the life jackets and your friendly guides). After getting fitted with a life jacket and running through a safety briefing, we head out onto the water just as the light begins to change.
A Seasonal Experience: We follow the sun to give you the best possible view.
- Summer: The sun rises early, allowing us to paddle deep under the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
- Cooler Months: We chase the warm rays by heading towards Goat Island or Sawmillers Reserve, bathing in the morning light with iconic views along the way.
