About this tour
Rent a lightweight double sea kayak for an hour and explore Middle Harbour at your own pace. These Australian-made Kevlar or carbon-fibre boats glide smoothly through the water, letting you paddle to quiet beaches within the harbour. You'll get a safety briefing, a map, and all gear included—just show up and push off whenever suits you.
Highlights
- Australian-made Kevlar and carbon-fibre kayaks, featherweight and responsive
- Self-guided paddling—no set route, choose your own beaches
- Middle Harbour's sheltered waters and pristine coves
- Safety briefing and local advice before you launch
- Life jacket, paddle, and map all supplied
What to expect
You'll meet the crew for a quick safety talk and paddle technique tips tailored to conditions that day. Then it's yours to steer. The double kayaks are stable and forgiving, even if you've never paddled before. The water in Middle Harbour is generally calm, which makes exploring the smaller beaches and inlets feel accessible. Expect to cover ground at a relaxed pace—the lightweight build means less effort, more time taking in the views. One hour goes quickly, so pick a nearby beach or two rather than trying to cover the whole harbour.
