About this tour
Paddle your own lightweight sea kayak around Sydney's Middle Harbour for three hours, charting your own route. Explore sheltered beaches, spot wildlife along Garigal National Park's foreshore, or venture toward the Pacific at the harbour heads. Australian-made Kevlar and carbon-fibre kayaks glide smoothly through the water, designed for easy solo paddling. A safety briefing and detailed map point you toward the best paddling zones for conditions on the day.

What to expect
You'll launch from Middle Harbour and have complete freedom to explore at your pace. The kayaks are responsive and forgiving, designed to build confidence from your first paddle strokes. Depending on conditions, you might paddle sheltered coves where you're likely to spot local birdlife, venture along the national park shoreline where eucalypts meet water, or aim for open water views toward the Pacific. The three-hour window gives you time to explore without rushing. Staff will brief you on safe paddling zones and hand you a map so you can navigate independently.
