- 494hanku0 contributionsDont miss this tour of the harbourWe highly recommend this excursion. Our guide Ian was warm, friendly, and well informed about our surroundings. We had been on many bus tours by this point in our trip and this was a welcome change. Wear something which dries quickly (you get a little wet), and bring a hat and suntan lotion! The views of the bridge and the Sydney skyline are fantastic. The breakfast is OUTSTANDING. One of the best meals we had on vacation! 5 star tour.Written 7 January 2025

We had an amazing morning kayaking under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and past the Opera House. We will never forget it! Sam was a gentlemen and made sure we were all comfortable in our Kayaks and guided us when we needed help on navigating the double kayak! The breakfast was top notch also. It was a fantastic way to spend a morning and got to meet new people too!Written 2 January 2025

We participated to this kayak tour as a family of four.
It was a great day.
The weather was beautiful and we even saw some wild seals.
We enjoyed with gourmet lunch and the nature of Palm Beach.
We were amazed by knife skills of Sam (tour guide).
He skillfully cut up the chicken for lunch.
My wife, two sons and of course myself are very happy.
Thank you Sam for organising everything.

Sam was a fantastic guide, we were even luckier that we had him all to ourselves! This allowed us to choose how long we stayed with the seals, going back again for further time with the seals. We gleaned a lot of information from Sam and this was gratefully received. The lunch was so much more than we expected, having a hot roast chicken on the beach was fabulous! We would recommend this to anyone, whether you have kayaked before or not, Sam always checks to see if you are comfortable and willing to do more or less paddling, we did more and thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to enjoy the incredible scenery that Pittwater offers, and the experience of encountering the seal colony was truly special. We even saw a couple of seal pups! Sam is an engaging and knowledgeable guide - he made sure that we were all safe and was very informative too, about the seals and local Pittwater history and fauna. After we paddled to a secluded beach, Sam produced a delicious lunch while we relaxed and enjoyed the sun and beautiful views before paddling some more. Highly recommend this unique adventure!

I recently booked this kayaking adventure for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. We live in Sydney and yet it was still such an awesome thing to do to see a totally different part of the city. The seals were super cute and I can’t believe they live so happily in the middle of a big city. Sam our guide was super knowledgeable and lots of laughs. Best day out! We’ll be booking more.

Our morning kayaking the Pittwater was enjoyable. Our guide Sam was excellent. He expertly taught everyone to handle the kayaks, and we were quickly on the water. We got to see seals on the rocks, then crossed over to a quiet beach for lunch. Highly recommended, even for experienced kayakers.

We did this trip a few days ago, and we enjoyed it. Mr. Sam is very nice and he explained to us and told us a lot of information about nature in Sydney. After the kayaking trip, we stopped at a beach for lunch. We thank Sam for his efforts in this trip and providing multiple options for lunch to suit everyone. Thank you for the pictures as well

Seeing seals in the wild, on a Kayak, with a delicious lunch, was great. You do not have to be an expert in kayaking to go on this excursion. The guide was very patient and helpful throughout the day.
