Unique Kayak Experiences on Sydney Harbour

our paddle, your way. Enjoy a sleep-in and book any time after 9.30am. Sometimes the most special experience is having it all to yourself. This private tour lets you and your partner or friend enjoy the harbour at your own pace. Paddle as far as you like – around Lavender Bay, under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, past Kirribilli Point, or even out to Goat Island. Want to add something extra? Choose from our range of add-ons: cheese platters, coffee, sparkling water, ice cream, or even a surprise birthday cake. Just let us know when you book.

On this premium experience, our guide secretly carries a full-sized birthday cake inside their kayak – revealed at the end of the paddle to the birthday guest’s delight! Everyone on the tour enjoys a cupcake mid-paddle, while the birthday guest takes home the full cake to share with family and friends.

This short and cheerful paddle around Lavender Bay is perfect for hot summer days. Each paddler enjoys two scoops (or two flavours!) of premium Italian gelato from Bravo Trattoria in Crows Nest, served right on the kayaks.

With just six paddlers, this seasonal winter tour is cosy, warm, and delicious. Freshly baked scones, double cream, Australian fruit jams, sparkling water, and tea or coffee are served on our custom-designed Sydney By Kayak grazing boards – while you relax on the water and take in the calm winter harbour.

Start the day with our signature Sunrise Kayak and Coffee Tour, but with some extra luxury, including a private Guide all to yourself. Enjoy barista-made coffee on the water, then indulge in sparkling (non-alcoholic) champagne, fresh orange juice, pastries, fruit, yogurt, and more on our beautiful grazing boards. The experience ends with a sit-down breakfast at one of our partner cafés or hotels, such as The North Spoon.

For 12+ years, our signature Sunrise Kayak and Coffee Tour has set the standard. Stable single kayaks, barista-made coffee, passionate guides, iconic harbour views, and stories about Sydney’s history and our local eco-projects – this is the experience we’re known and loved for.

Escape the festive rush and start your Christmas with a moment of pure calm and connection. On this special edition of our signature sunrise tour, we’ll glide onto the quiet harbour as the city sleeps, watching the sun rise behind the Bridge and Opera House. To make it extra festive, your barista-made coffee will be accompanied with delicious Christmas treats!

Make the most of the long weekend with a truly unique Easter treat. On this special sunrise tour, you’ll receive a surprise chocolate easter egg to accompany your barista-made coffee on Sydney Harbour, giving you the best vantage point in Sydney to spot the Easter Bunny. Children over 8 years old are welcome to join in.

Start your St. Patrick's Day with a touch of green in the most spectacular way. We’ll take you out for our classic sunrise paddle, complete with iconic views and your favourite barista-made coffee. We encourage you to wear your best St Paddy’s Day outfits to start this special day with the right energy.
